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 always try to choose my #MusicMonday songs so that I’m sharing a wide variety of music across genres and decades. I noticed that I haven’t chosen an 80s song for a while, so here is a big slice of 80s cheese.

Belinda Carlisle: Leave A Light On

Take my hand
Tell me what you are feeling
Understand
This is just the beginning

Although I have to go
It makes me feel like crying
I don’t know when I’ll see you again

Darling leave a light on for me
I’ll be there before you close the door
To give you all the love that you need
Darling leave a light on for me
’cause when the world takes me away
You are still the air that I breathe

I can’t explain I just don’t know
Just how far I have to go
But darling I’ll keep the key
Just leave a light on for me

Yes I know
What I’m asking is crazy
You could go
Just get tired of waiting
But if I lose your love
Torn out by my desire
That would be the one regret of my life

Just like a spark lights up the dark
Baby that’s your heart
