A lady of a certain age


One of my favourite songs of all times is this one by The Divine Comedy. An exquisite tale of snobish behaviour and upper class lifestyle that is reflected on their album "Victory for the comic muse"(2006). "A lady of a certain age" is painfully beautiful and incredibly melancholic, if you sum up Neil Hannon´s peculiar voice to the whole thing, it is only normal that as a reaction it gets me goosebombs everytime I hear it. A must when you are feeling down or when you are feeling blue. It will cheer you up and bring back the essence of what really matters, without falling onto the clichés of a love song reaction. If you have not heard it yet...What are you waiting for?
