A happier post. Let Loose.

I'm not sure how many of you lovely people will remember the 90's band, Let Loose.

I was a huge fan. I think 'Crazy for you' is a classic tune if you grew up in the '90's. It's a brilliant pop song.

"I'm crazy, crazy for you /and there's nothing that I won't do".

I also loved their debut album. I remember having it on cassette tape, and I think that I actually wore out the tape playing it that much.

Anyhow, why am I waffling on about a band I liked when I was 14?. Before I answer, I just remembered that one of the guy's (I think it was Rob) used to be on a daytime quiz show called 'Waffle' quite a bit. I used to watch it when I was off school. I just randomly remembered that.

Right, back to why I'm posting about Let Loose. It was my birthday recently, and my mum bought me the cd of the debut album. It was a brilliant present. It was a reminder of what I liked and who I used to be.

Note to self: It doesn't work with Boyzone. I loved Boyzone growing up and now I can't stand Ronan Keating's voice. I have to switch off when I hear him start to sing. It's weird. I only tolerate Boyzone song's I really love now.

Back, again, to Let Loose. Even playing the cd again brings back happy memories of the girl I used to be. The girl I'd love to be again.

It may be a cd of a band who had 5 minutes of fame 20 years again, but for me, it's a step back to getting the old me back again.

Oh, and I was 13 not 14 when the album first came out. In 1994. I still remember playing 'the best in me' and my Grandma, who really didn't like modern stuff, liking it. Being a grown up, and listening to the lyric's now, I don't think she'd like it quite as much now.

It's strange what music can do. And, to quote ABBA 'Thank you for the music'. It's something I couldn't live without.
