While sitting on a bus one Thursday afternoon, returning home for a weekend away from the insomnia inducing cacophony that is my flatmates smoking outside into the early hours of the morning (I love them really, splendid fellows... all of them -ticks off another Doctor Who reference from his daily quota-), I looked back over the songs I'd been playing in order to keep me occupied, and realized two things.
1. Not being interested in anyone romantically removes any guilt that accompanies listening to soppy music. The list included such guilty pleasures as Runaway by the Corrs (that song is my musical equivalent of comfort food... it always seemed to be on the radio when I was a wee lad... good lord I wish I was Scottish and could pull that off), I Will Always Return by Bryan Adams (which I once came across via a Harry x Hermione fan video... go figure), and Love is a Matter of Distance by Will Young (my love for his music being one of the many things I'm happy to inherit from my mother, even if it does cause me to stop and ponder the implications of the majority of my favourite celebrities being gay).
2. I didn't have enough Queen (YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH QUEEN).
For some reason, everytime I listen to this song, I imagine a soldier (medieval, ALWAYS medieval) in glorious combat, refusing to lay down and succumb to his injuries before he gets a chance to see his wife and child again.
That, and it reminds of someone. A hero of mine. Dearly missed.
