Light Up The Sky
This is my response to Chloe Rose Violet's Song promt. You are supposed to pick a song, and tell your own story through it. At least that's the interpretation I took from it. Maybe you will find your own! This is her original post if you would like to check it out.

The Default Language Of Pop Music
I was not sure how to title this but I knew what I wanted to say. Essentially the English expect everyone to be able to understand them by having English as a second language. It's a spill out from Imperialism where a lot of people seem to think it still exists. You see so much that is skewed towards English despite Mandarin being the most spoken language in the world.

A Short Stop At The Skipton Sound Bar
Introduction A few years back ( probably more than a few) we discovered the Skipton Sound Bar. Back then it was essentially a second-hand music shop with a small bar and they were always playing Jeff Wayne's "War Of The Worlds", not a favourite of mine. At the time my vinyl collection was smaller than it is now and I managed to lay my hands on an original of Jethro Tull's "Thick As A Brick" complete with the full broadsheet newspaper cover. According to the band, putting together the newspaper took more time and effort than the actual album, which is still very good.
