Suggestions Anyone? And a Confession.

[przed]

Would any of you have a recommendation for a YouTube downloader on a Mac? (I may, or may not be working on a super sekrit vid project which may, or may not, concern the individuals in my icon.)

In other news, I may be working on turning my daughter into a Take That fan. I couldn't help it. She wanted to listen to music last night, she loves dancing and glittering things, and I just happened to have the TT Beautiful World Concert DVD laying around. She was, as expected, taken with Shine. It's a catchy song, and they really went all out with the production on that one.

The Sweetie is not amused, and is plotting his revenge, though I don't think concert videos of Wire are really going to be her cuppa.

He is often spotted wearing clothes that are actually from the women's department of various chains *g* He seems very happy in himself now and in his look, which is great to see -during the wilderness years he went very emo, took to wearing leather cuffs, got incredibly thin and wrote lyrics about the heartbreak of missing a mysterious someone (no prizes for guessing who fandom thinks that is) and also about being 'blissfully tortured' (http://www.metrolyrics.com/close-to-the-edge-lyrics-mark-owen.html). Add to this that he wrote his last solo album with the help of Gary (around the time of the Knebworth duet to boot) and you've got all the ingredients of fanfic heaven... *g* (cenea wrote such a story and most excellent too)

God bless Mark. The new look suits him much better than leather cuffs. Not that there's anything wrong with leather cuffs.

Crikey, those lyrics. So he's a heart on the sleeve type, is Mark? (I have to say, in the last two weeks, I have developed a huge protective streak for the man. If anyone ever breaks his heart again--I'm looking at you, Mr. Williams--I'll 'ave 'im.)

Shall have to check out cenea's fic. I read this multi-part AU fic by soundofthesurf on the weekend, and it totally broke my heart. (I cried! I can count on one finger the number of fanfic stories that have made me cry. One!)

This is why I think your potential song choice is a very very good one. As much as it could be/probably is about someone else, it would totally fit this longstanding theme of emotional songs about, well...we *know* Shine is about Robbie! *g*

Yeah, we're a small fandom but very lucky to have all the good fic we do *g* But then look at the inspiration! *g*
