Do you like to sing?

By yourself, or as part of a group?

Yes! By myself, privately. I like to sing along with Linda Ronstadt, Madonna or Courtney Love and try to sound like them.

When I was a kid... embarrassingly yes. Before puberty hit, me and the two girls next door would walk round in our moms' high heels, with hairbrush microphones, singing at full belt to 80s power ballads. Most notably those by Bonnie Tyler.

This especially.



Now... no. Not in the slightest!

No, there's one exception to that. I cannot sing in the slightest, but if no one's around, and I hear this... I sing along like a madwoman. Because it's my favourite song.

Agreed. But for me it is this song:

Or "No More Words"...

OK, almost any song from Berlin albums "Love Life" or "Pleasure Victim".

I heard of that band. Wasn't exposed to them much. Very 80s. Right up my street.

When you posted this, I immediately though of Ultravox, and "Vienna". Another song I used to be kind of obsessed with.



80s ftw, lol.

I taught myself to play guitar during the pandemic. I'm not too good at the guitar, but I play everyday. I'm really awful at singing, but I don't even let that slow me down. I have 7 beautiful guitars now, and I have a microphone and amplifier set up in my living room. I crank it up and belt it out on the regular. My wife is long suffering and puts up with my pitchy, out of tune screeching often.

Singing along with my guitar is all that keeps me sane some days. I will never stop.

Guitar is a hauntingly magical instrument, Barbie. Good on you! I highly doubt you're as bad as you think you are. <3
