Mick Jagger - England Lost

I was going to start off with the original video of “Rain” by the Beatles. It showed up online yesterday. I never saw it before. It’s gone now. Taken down by the man after only one day.

So instead we will start off with this amazing version of “Wonderwall” by former Oasis member Noel Gallagher


James blunt has a new song (and album) and it’s pretty impressive. In the words of former presidential Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson, “What is Aleppo?” Some impressive drone footage in this one. Somebody sing along.



The lyrics go something like this:

Somebody's gonna wave a flag
Somebody's going to attack
Someone will tell you to take a side
Tell you their version of wrong or right
Somebody's gonna let you in
Judged on the color of your skin
Slam a door in the face of your friend
Simply because you don't look like him

And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
Everybody's walkin'
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
Everybody's talkin'

So I built the words into a song
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
And even if some notes are wrong
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough
I need to hear from everyone
And even when I'm dead and gone
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

Somebody's gonna build a wall
Then smash it with a cannon ball
Someone who somehow has got a gun
Will tell you who you can't and you can love
Some people keeping all the cash
They're gonna get away with that
Just 'cause some people don't think like me
Does that really make them the enemy?

And then you gotta find a way that you're walkin'
Everybody's walkin'
You gotta find the words to say when you're talkin'
Everybody's talkin'

So I built the words into a song
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
And even if some notes are wrong
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough
I need to hear from everyone
And even when I'm dead and gone
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

Make a noise
I can hear you now
Won't you raise your voice
Just a little louder
Make a noise
I can hear you now
Won't you raise your voice
Just a little louder

So I built the words into a song
I'm hopin' someone's singing along
And even if some notes are wrong
I'm hopin' someone's singing along

'Cause just one voice is not enough
I need to hear from everyone
And even when I'm dead and gone
I'm hopin' someone's singing along


Mick Jagger has a new solo album. It’s not getting much attention. England Lost



Youtuber Lars Kappler sums it up quite nicely -

Britain after the vote:
getting hit by a bike
honestly, it's fine
Britain after leaving:
getting hit by a car
well that hurt
Europe after brexit:
Where did you think you could go?
Britain:
I don't know what came over me

Until next time.
