Song of the Day: 'Dry Land' by Marillion


For a couple of days, this wonderful tune was buzzing round my head, cheering me up when the underground was overcrowded (or when I was experiencing something similarly annoying). 

Then suddenly, it just occurred to me:  "It's 'Dry Land' by Marillion!".  This is how my mental jukebox operates:  sometimes I'm fully conscious of the tunes buzzing round there, and other times only half conscious of them, as I may've not played or heard them for a long time.

With 'Dry Land', it was a case of playing it for the first time in ages a few days before, and then the beautiful melodies of the song were magically buzzing round my head a few days later.  This is the beauty of the mental jukebox.
