A video about the meaning & history of the song so people who don't know broad Yorkshire can understand it & I don't have to explain anything because other than people who live or have lived in Yorkshire or people who've read books like Wuthering Heights or the Emmerdale Farm series of books don't really understand much of it. I hope they've managed to put out the fires that were on Ilkley.
Vera Lynn - she's good with many heartfelt songs and Whitney Houston with a voice of another world - and now to what I promised
Well - I said I wanted to show a little bit more about Little Mix - the famous girlgroup from England. How come a guy - almost 70 - like a girlgroup? I like what I see AND hear being in a choir back in the 80ties - I like harmonies.
I've been a teacher since 1976 and still teaching. Now on a private school in a class with 9 girls and 1 boy teaching history. I've always had a close eye to problems among the girls, because they are more severe than among the boys. I taught myself to read the signs when something is/was happening - now talking about 7th to 9th graders - and had a fairly good success TALKING to the girl, when there was a break, and I was place guard. Yes it'll be too long a story but I guess you know what girls can do to eachother.
Then watching X-Factor GB back in 2012 and saw who was winning in 2011 - a girl group who could sing - and I was lit. A group who started as individuals and in the end- before bootcamp - put together by Kelly Rowland and the other judges - ending up winning it and managed to make really good records together telling a lot of things to other girls. I'll put a string of 5 tunes together - lyric videos so you can see what they are singing about. I'll start with their second album SALUTE and the first real selfpenned (with a little help) song called Little Me where they come with an advice to their followers - MIXERS - what to do.
The importance of having friends for life - you can trust from their first album DNA
And again from SALUTE - Good enough
The last two songs are from their 3rd album GET WIERD where you hear their songs are beginning to show how to deal with problems in a grown up manner - they had all passed 22 of age. First one is a friendship song (they say themselves) about getting a guy out of their hair (big hit btw)
The last one this time is Secret Lovesong which has become a sort of anthem for the LGBT community which they demonstrated in a concert in Dubai in February ( I think) 2019 where thay had their banner on the back of the stage while they sang this.
Many other good songs on the albums - more next time
