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.

On Wednesday, I went to see The Darkness in Hull, which was great! The Darkness are obviously well known for their music in the 2000s, but their new tracks are actually pretty good too, so I’m sharing one of those today.

The Darkness: Walking Through Fire

Our next long player ooooh it’s coming out soon
I’ll be honest, I’m under the moon
We’re only doing this’ cos it’s fun
Don’t even think my mum bought the last one

I can’t help
Falling in love with rock and roll
I can’t help
Falling in love with rock and roll
So I’m walking through fire
Living my life on the wire

Hair and make up
Reluctantly, here we go
Waste another precious day shooting yet another shitty video
That nobody’s ever gonna see
Least of all, me
I can’t help
Falling in love with rock and roll
I can’t help
So I’m walking through fire
Living my life on the wire

We never stopped
Making hit albums
It’s just that no-one buys them any more

I can’t help
Falling in love with rock and roll
I can’t help
Falling in love with rock and roll
So I’m walking through fire
Living my life on the wire
I’m walking through fire
Living my life on the wire
