What is the most recent thing you played on Spotify, Apple Play or other music. Music for yourself rather than just kids (fine if you are listen with children would voluntarily listen to it)

I’m currently playing Don’t Stop Me Now Queen. I have a Spotify age of 82 think because I listen to quite a lot of classical music

ETA music you and children enjoy included

I’m learning German at the moment so I’ve been trying to listen to some German music to broaden my vocabulary.

Last song I listened to was Durch den Monsun by Tokio Hotel because I know the lyrics to the English version so I can try to match them up!

'Somewhere down the crazy River' -Robbie Robertson.
I play this/watch this about once a week.
Reminds me of being 16. I love the video- used to want to be Maria McKee.

Ooh good choice - “you like it now but you’ll learn to love it later..”

I never appreciated how lovely he was , at the time.But I do now.

I was quite sad when he died.

The song just gives me goosebumps.

You and I, part 2 by Fleetwood Mac.

It’s my favourite FM song but I it doesn’t get played on the radio much so I ask Alexa to play it frequently.
