Partly because it was done just before his death. Makes he think he knew it was coming.... the video adds to it as well.

Any mention of bullying makes me mad. I've never been bullied and I never would bully, but I hung around with kids who were bullied. It's something that really riles me and as I've got older I find myself reacting badly to any bullying, even workplace / 'professional' bullying.

Father figure by George Michael

I spent my entire pregnancy at 18 alone.

Split up on a Saturday, found out I was pregnant on the Sunday, packed up my shit and moved 300 miles away on the Monday

I listened to ladies and gentlemen the whole pregnancy and that song killed me. Still does, we got back together, had 4 kids, 12 years together...mainly abusive and horrific. And now he doesn't see his kids and it breaks my heart to see them ask why there dad doesn't bother with them. Thankfully Dave is a fuckin saint and took on all my kids as his own and we had one more ....

Bloody loads, I'm particularly vulnerable to music it seems.

But the number one on my personal blubbing countdown is Elgar's Nimrod.

Preferably played by a military band on a chilly but sunny November morning.

Randomly; ‘Don’t you worry child’ by Swedish House Mafia. It speaks to me of hope and loss and never fails.

‘Stay High’ by Tove Lo (remix) does too as it reminds me of lost love and that feeling of trying to do anything to keep your thoughts from that person.

To be honest though there are so many songs that bring memories, I’m always receiving emotional trauma at the hands of the radio

I hurt myself today

To see if I still feel

I focus on the pain

The only thing that's real

The needle tears a hole

The old familiar sting

Try to kill it all away

But I remember everything

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

Goes away in the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns

Upon my liars chair

Full of broken thoughts

I cannot repair

Beneath the stains of time

The feelings disappear

You are someone else

I am still right here

What have I become

My sweetest friend

Everyone I know

Goes away in the end

And you could have it all

My empire of dirt

I will let you down

I will make you hurt

Dancing on my Own - Calum Scott

I stupidly fell in love with a married man who made all the cliched promises and like the cliches side chick I believed I was different. He broke me. The lyrics break my heart all over again -

'And I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her,

I'm right over here, why can't you see me'

Californication - RHCP - played at my best friend's funeral

Bring Me to Life by Evanescence and Who Knew by Pink remind me of the time after my best friend died and I still feel the same stabbing pain when I hear them.
