44. Ask by The Smiths 1986



One of one my favourite songs from one of my favourite bands. I find The Smiths never date and probably that's why they are never tied to some of the awful stuff that came out of the Eighties. (saying that I can name lots of great songs from that period) This song always makes me feel good and in the past as given me confidence to do things I might have been afraid to do. Like a certain song in the car can make you drive faster. Or to get ready for a party you play some bangin' tunes. The words in this song said simply 'Ask

There was a dancer I used to admire from afar at the Shout nightclub. One night she turned up at The Beehive where I was DJing. I guess because I had admired her while on stage (well a rostrum actually) I guess I was a bit shy to chat to her. So I put this on and it gave me the kick to start talking to her. Eventually I drove her home and we started seeing each other for a little while. And then I went to England and we lost touch.  But if I ever feel a little afraid of taking the leap I think of that line."Shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life You'd like to". Works for me.
