For some reason I thought I wrote about this song before because every once in a while I seem to have this song stuck in my head. 'Never Knew Your Name' is by far my absolute favourite Madness song. I have the 'Total Madness' album, and they are just really fun and good natured songs, which are made even more perfect with their strong English accents that come through the singing. This song is one of their new ones, from their 'Oui Oui, Si Si, Ja Ja, Da Da' album that was released in 2012.
All of yesterday I had it on repeat while I was doing my homework and I was like "I wish I could use this song again" but then I realised that I hadn't... I think. To be honest, I've lost track on some of the songs I've focussed on over the past couple of years. Either way, this is a brilliant song that talks about seeing this beautiful girl in a club and at the end of the night, he never found out who she was and wonders whether he'll ever see her again. And he feels blue and it's time to go...
I think the reason why I had this in my head is because last week, being the first week of semester, I went out quite a few times so maybe it's the post-party blues. It's the realisation that now it's second week, so you all of a sudden have to get your life together because the essays and homework are real and looming over you and are due soon. Also the realisation that you'll be at uni every day because of how your timetable and hours have turned out, and it will be a long time until you can go out and have a social life again...
But despite the next few months of living like a hermit, I will always have this song to listen to. I really love this song so much, which I'm so glad because Madness' earlier stuff is great and it's comforting to know that these musicians from the late 70's and 80's are able to produce brilliant music still.
