Enthused by the good folks over at Grown Up Backwards and Unthought Of, Though Somehow, who were in turn inspired by a post over on Tune Doctor (still with me…?) I’ve been enjoying thinking about ‘perfect pop’ for the last couple of days. Big thanks to them! And hoping they won't mind me picking up the baton and running with it here...
It’s impossible not to start compiling lists in your head once you start considering what constitutes your perfect pop song. There are many - but I’ve limited my list to these three. They make me smile and want to dance and in the sublime sweetness of their melodies, brief though they may be, I can forget the cold rain outside and the mundane problems of daily life. That’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Hope they work for you too.
