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.

#MusicMonday is a bit different today as I want to pay tribute to the 56 supporters who lost their lives in the Valley Parade fire on this day in 1985, as well as those who were injured or affected by what happened that day. I’ve used the video from the Gerry and The Pacemakers version here, but it was covered by The Crowd in 1985 to raise funds after the fire, and I’ve added that version to the playlist.

I’m sending love to anyone who needs it today.

Gerry And The Pacemakers: You’ll Never Walk Alone

When you walk through a storm

Hold your head up high

And don’t be afraid of the dark

At the end of a storm

There’s a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark

Walk on through the wind

Walk on through the rain

For your dreams be tossed and blown

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll never walk alone

Walk on, walk on

With hope in your heart

And you’ll never walk alone

You’ll never walk alone

Writers: Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein

Until next time.
