Anyone else watching/listening on BBC 2?
Loving all the songs but having just heard
Pulp's Something Changed, which reminded me of an article I read last year

https://www.theguardian.com/culture/2025/may/17/my-cultural-awakening-pulp-something-changed

So has any song made a profound difference to your life? Would love to hear about it!

My cultural awakening: a Pulp song made me realise I was in love with my best friend

I was too afraid to confess my feelings and be rejected, until hearing Jarvis Cocker’s words gave me a moment of clarity

We are! Although my husband and I have wildly differing tastes in music!!

Manifesto · 28/02/2026 21:11

I am really enjoying it. Absolute bangers. Glad I’m not watching the Brits.

IntelligentInputDarling · 28/02/2026 21:13

Oh I'm glad I have company!
Are either of you feeling emotional listening to these, I feel so old - these are songs from my yoof dammit!!

Im impressed I know all the songs so far and most of the words

BestBefore2000 · 28/02/2026 21:18

@IntelligentInputDarling Definitely. Gary Barlow took me right back to sleepovers as a teenager with my girlfriends. I wasn't a fan at the time, but they all were and I remember just feeling happy to be with them 💕

Can't believe two of my kids are now older than I was when "Back for Good" first came out (15 and 18).
Still, my 5 yo keeps me insane/young! 😄
Also, find it weird sitting next to my husband and we are singing these songs together, but that when we both heard them first separately it would be many years before we were to meet (second marriage for both of us, we married later on in life).

IntelligentInputDarling · 28/02/2026 21:18

Me too @MissMoneyFairy
I am singing along and word perfect
👌 🤭

@MissMoneyFairy Me too - stuff you, menopause!!! 😆

abathofmilkwithladydi · 28/02/2026 21:19

This is so much better than the Brits!

MyOtherProfile · 28/02/2026 21:20

Loving it! Singing along nostalgically.

BestBefore2000 · 28/02/2026 21:20

@abathofmilkwithladydi I fear we may be showing our ages?!!! I'm 45, my husband is 50 😀

DallasMajor · 28/02/2026 21:23

I could have gone to see a film instead

What an amazing song, underrated.

MyOtherProfile · 28/02/2026 21:24

Sam Smith sang some bangers back in the day.

IntelligentInputDarling · 28/02/2026 21:26

Oh I LOVE this.

This Stormzy arrangement is ace

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 28/02/2026 21:44

Anyone know who is singing now? Black guy, dressed in black?

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 28/02/2026 21:45

I don’t know if they announced him as I’m in and out of the sitting room. He had three backing singers, a man and two women, also all in black.
