The votes are in.
Last week, with a €25 Golden Discs voucher on offer, I asked you to name your favourite song with a one-word title?
You answered in your tens (supplying a brilliant playlist)
But there could be only one winner.
Third Place:
Xtal by Aphex Twin

Cupid by Sam Cooke

There are songs that reflect hope. Songs that reflect pain. Songs that try to encompass the human condition; why we are here, what am I for, what should I do? We fall in love.We must – its inevitable.
What song encapsulates that hope of being loved back? a song like no other, sung by a voice that would melt the coldest heart? Cupid, by Sam Cooke, that’s what..
Winner:
Nightswimming by REM

Nick says: Thanks all.
Last week: Win Nick’s Voucher
Excellent winners! j;
It was indeed a great playlist for the weekend, so allow me to give my thanks to all who posted. Some of them are on my Full Volume Favourites list, so the neighbours had to watch out :-)
Eh, Broadsheet, there was another competition last week too…no sign of a winner announcement there?
On it now. Teelings, right?
Thanks a million Nick, your imaginary pet Labrador has great taste in music!!
Thanks too to everyone who contributes, I learn something new every week!
In the words of Errol Brown,
‘Everyone’s A Winner’
Tell that to my bookie! Emailing you this afternoon, Andy. Congratulations.
All dubious choices.
Xtal – not a word
Cupid – a proper noun
nightswimming – not a word either, a combination of two words.
What would Susie Dent say?
That’s the spirit!
