Welcome back to another #MusicMonday! It’s not about books, but about music, and I’m looking forward to presenting you with a taste of my playlist. It’s the brainchild of Drew from The Tattooed Book Geek, but my inspiration comes from the lovely Claire from A Knight’s Reads. Every Monday, I’ll be choosing a song to share with you. The Spotify playlist is here and it will be updated as I go along.

I said last week that there would be no prizes for guessing which band I’m featuring today. On Saturday, I went to see Embrace headlining their Out Of Nothing anniversary tour at Kirkstall Abbey. At the time of writing, I’ve not been yet but I’m very excited! This track isn’t actually from Out Of Nothing, but it is my favourite Embrace track.

Embrace: Wonder

All the signs were there for me to see,
If I cry out with fear I’ll feel more afraid,
So beat the sense back into me,
‘Cause you are like forbidden fruit out of my reach
And I forgot what I had sometimes

But if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can’t get out the way
Well it’s you wonder will save

You were mine and now you’re mine to want
And I knew if you’d cut the cord rush like balloons I’d fall
It’s criminal to pause
As you basked in the sea’s applause I had it all
And I forgot what I had, sometimes

But if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can’t get out the way
And its all for the best its all a lie
That everyone has their day

‘Cause if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get in the way
Well its you wonder will save

La, la, la,
La, la, la,
La, la, la…etc

Don’t let them make you feel small with their hands like guns at your head,
They’ll claw but they’ll never win if you let wonder in…

‘Cause if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you can’t get out the way
And it’s all for the best its all a lie
And everyone has their day

‘Cause if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get out the way
Well it’s you wonder will save

‘Cause if everyone has there shot and moves on
And you can’t get out the way
And it’s all for the best it’s all a lie
And everyone has their day

But if everyone has their shot and moves on
And you just get out the way
Well it’s you wonder will save

Yeah it’s you wonder will save
Yeah it’s you wonder will save.
