Jim took Lisa’s suggestion of City, Country, County, State, Town making it our prompt for today. Ah, the choices are seemingly limitless. Lulu suggested I use China Grove by the Doobie Brothers. “Obvious choice mom right?” Somehow I think I used that song already though. B suggested I’m Blind in Texas by Wasp. I instantly remembered that song from our heyday but misremembered the lyrics. I also was not too keen on writing about getting blackout drunk. Ya know when a buzz will do, go with the hum. I teetered with picking Wild World by Cat Stevens because cities, counties, countries, states, and towns make up the world. Finally I went with Pompeii by Bastille, songwriter: Dan Smith. Here’s a video with lyrics within.
As always, more to come.
What a wonderful choice. I kept on dancing along with this one! Nice beat and uplifting tone!

I remember when this song was ALWAYS on the radio, and all the DJs talking about “the British band, with the French name singing about Pompeii” It’s a great song. They’ve made a few good songs.๐ถ๐๐ผ

It is nice to hear that your song choices are a family decision, with you having the final choice, This song sounds so familiar, but I don’t think that I ever listened to it before.
