It must have been love - Roxette

@Floralnomad it totally is. I still know most of the lyrics off by heart and the deep gloom that settles as soon as I hear the intro.
Just remember a bunch of teenage girls sitting in a grotty student halls room round a record player, sobbing and drinking cider. One of us was always in or just past a breakup at any one point so we all wept in sympathy and took turns cuddling the gay best friend of one of us.
Then we went to the union bop, threw ourselves dizzy to ‘Sledgehammer’ and picked up unsuitable bad boys. Those were the days.

Accoustic version of 'With every heartbeat' by Robyn.

I howled my way round the Leicester ring road to that song.

Gloria Estefan, ‘Can’t stay away from you’. Adele, ‘when we were young’ or ‘all I ask’. Jamie Lawson ‘wasn’t expecting that’, they all help me have a good cry! And because it turned out my (d)h was a lying, cheating bastard, I then blast Rihanna, ‘take a bow’ and Beyoncé ‘irreplaceable’ to snap myself out of it. Flowers Gin
