Apologies: I’d been planning a post tonight based around flashbacks to childhood triggered by music and the notion of the Ship of Theseus. Alas, I’m really tired tonight and it will have to be held over until tomorrow. I’m sure you’ll all be waiting with bated breath.
In my defence, I’ve blogged every day since the middle of May; I think I’m entitled to be knackered once.
Music: here’s a cheery Scots ballad, Clyde Water, aka The Drowned Lovers. You don’t get out of a Scots folk song alive, unless you’re lucky. Nic later reckoned this version was a bit too jolly, given its subject matter, and a more considered version appears on live releases, but I like this version–I like the juxtaposition of the jaunty tune and the story of the the doomed Willie and May Margaret.
