Heartstrings 

When someone or something pulls at your heartstrings, you’re likely to go a little wobbly at the knees. So this week we have found some romantic songs that utilise string sections. That these include songs by Liam Gallagher, Siouxsie & the Banshees, U2 and The View suggests that it might be a more rumbustious experience than your usual romantic show – more a stagger than a wobble.

Invisible superheroes

Never underestimate the people and things that go unnoticed. Imagine being able to make yourself, or someone else, vanish whenever you wanted.

Of course, feeling like you’re unnoticed or unloved – is no fun at all. Those are the times to take solace in the knowledge that invisibility is a superpower, after all.

Invisible Girl was Marvel’s first female superhero and is one of the Fantastic Four. She got her superpowers after being exposed to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.

Before her transformation, Sue Storm was extremely shy. Afterwards, that shyness morphed into the power of invisibility. Invisible Girl can make herself invisible by bending rays of light with her mind. She can also make other people and things invisible, as well as create force fields of invisible energy.

Here are a few songs for invisible people and secret superheroes.

ParentAge

We’ve all been parents or known one.

It’s the most important job that we’ll ever do and the most significant product of our time on earth. Parenting means being there and meeting basic needs, protection, preparation, love and leading

Preparing children for adulthood is the overarching role of a parent. You’re not raising a child; you’re raising an adult. As Philip Larkin puts it in his well known poem ‘This Be The Verse’

They mess you up, your mum and dad.

They may not mean to, but they do.

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.

But mostly, kids need to know just one thing: that you are on their side.

Cabaret Noir

It’s nearly midnight. The cigarette smoke hangs languidly in the air. The hostesses and the singers look like troubled mannekins, pale and wanting. Cabaret Noir has turned down the lights and lowered the expectations. The violin and the banjo think about duelling but settle for accidental harmony. The musicians in their white tuxedos wait for the vocalist to arrive on stage. With a sideways toss of his floppy lick of hair, Brett Anderson caresses the mic whispering ‘She still leads me on’ and we’re not sure if he’s referring to the mic cable or the sultry blonde in the front row..
