what do you look for in a song

 
Happy new year readers one and all- my mancunian friend i know will be waiting for this to appear on his RSS feeder, I am currently returning north from london following ten days of too much chocolate!

What do you look for when deciding if you like a song what factors go into your choice- is it who sings it, the musical harmonies or the lyrics.  My family and I are huge Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie Fans. As well as Blackadder they starred togeather in the fantastic Jeeves and Wooster Series based on the PG Wodehouse books. There is a great line in that where Hugh Laurie as Jeeves says " you know what I look for in a song Jeeves? a spot of Phiosophy something to make you think!

As well as Eating chocolate this festive period I have been doing some thinking. My first thought was 2008 for me was a rite off if i was it was a car i wouldnt even bother to find the form to get insureance money! 

My thought proscess was as follows. I have  spent to much time after the lehmans episode feeling sorry for myself. But it taught me two things 1 I can get jobs with anybody I want and 2 I have to find a job it wont find me.
Moving on from analysis of the situation like anybody should i thought about how i could improve upon it. its like voters at election time dont care what parties have done for you in the past- while thats important i know. its more what will you do for me now!

In 2009 with a  shrinking job market my timing could not be worse but i  know it will be my year. I will go into the year full of hope and instead of being picky about what i apply for i will just apply for anything thats going because I always look on the bright side of life.
