Thanks @marlene! Drama club flashbacks from school.

@seitan Thank you Seitan! That has always been one of my favorite songs from the album, immediately popped into my head when viewing your gorgeous set. It looks like a beautiful spot where you shot the set, especially with the glimpses of the water in the distance behind the Joshua trees. Reminded me of visiting Joshua Tree National Park.

@cherrybomb You too! I couldn't resist the opportunity for a good 80s music reference. Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!

@diamant You're welcome and thank you for the lovely photos! Hoping your chocolate frog card comes up in my next pack :)

@inanna_trix Shhh! Don't tell anyone, I was obsessed with Duran Duran in my youth :)

@libris I am glad to hear you enjoyed the song. If you wouldn't mind indulging me I have one more musical selection I thought you might appreciate since you have spent time in Scotland. Eddi Reader recorded a beautiful album of Robert Burns songs aptly titled "Eddi Reader Sings the Songs of Robert Burns". She writes in the introduction "In school I often thought Robert Burns was for the highbrow and not for the likes of me, the hardly educated, council estate, overspill girl...now I see that I was wrong and that I am precisely the person Burns wrote for. As I read more about him I get the sense that he was the same as the rest of us, a spokesman for the glorious in the ordinary, the sublime in the mundane". On the recording she sings the songs with a kind of visceral emotion that suits this sentiment perfectly, a reminder that Burns wrote these words not from an ivory tower but as a man with many of the same hopes and heartbreaks all of us have in the modern world today. The musical arrangements are beautiful, combining a group of talented folk musicians with a string orchestra made up of players from the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Thank you for your kind words. My Mom introduced me to the Anne of Green Gables mini series when I was growing up, it is still one of my favorites which I have watched many times since. You will have to imagine my comment read in my best earnest Megan Follows voice.

Thank you Marlene! I am a long time employee of the Department of Obscure References, managed to work two of them into my comment. Beautiful photos and location!
