#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge July 9th: A word in the title that's probably not in the dictionary Brightsider by Dagny I struggled with today's prompt, but on the bright side, I've learnt the origins of certain words. This must make me a "brightsider", but iprobably not in the dictionary

One of the music challenges asks for songs with a word not in the dictionary I've not yet found any, but I've learnt that, according to Oxford English Dictionary, the first usage of these words: Aromantic - first used in the 1960s Demisexual - 1969 in the Daily Californian Kool Aid - in 1927

#SongBuilding #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 8th: castle Castle by Halsey Taken from Halsey's debut album of 2018. Slightly off tangent; if you want to visit castles, then head to North Wales. Magnificent structures. Also, several in the East Midlands area of England

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 8th: A song for a rainy day Rain by Dagny This has only been out for a few weeks, but already, it's one of my most played of the year thus far. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ETp...

#Breakingkindsongs #MusicChallenge July 8: song mentioning a gender in the title (he, she, they, them etc) Apologies for 2 picks, but you decide your choice. The original Then He Kissed Me by The Crystal or (in below post) Then I Kissed Her by The Beach Boys sadly, no gender neutral version

#SongBuilding #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 7th: station Oldies Station by Twenty One Pilots www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBE_...

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 7th: "Do" or "Don't" in the title Don't You Give Up On Me by Lissie www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQev...

#Breakingkindsongs #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 7th: a song with "gold" or "silver" in the title or lyrics Burning Gold by Christina Perri This song will get you singing. An upbeat and motivational track. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aNx...

England are considering an appeal to FIFA over the red card that Jarell Quansah was shown in their match against Mexico I hope that England do appeal. Not that I would want Quansah to play because that, to be honest, would be hypocritical. However, the appeal outcome would be interesting to read

Ronaldo has confirmed that this will be his last World Cup. Possibly saying goodbye in about 30 minutes However, here's a thought of mine: Ronaldo to feature in the 2030 World Cup as Portugal player-head coach? Doubtful, but I wouldn't bet against it.🙃 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I've complained about Donald Trump's interference in the World Cup therefore it's only fair that I say about Keir Starmer's interference. He's the reason why I fell asleep and missed the best England match in decades😭🙄 That said, it would have been unfair on other teams, as I said at the time.

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 6th: for a lazy summer day Start of Summer by Charlotte OC British singer, who recently released this song a few weeks ago. It's a catchy song www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkGP...

Incidentally, we in Europe are disgusted by this red card overturn. You might have noticed by all my posts😂 UEFA (the football federation for Europe) is angry. This is their statement I agree. www.uefa.com/news-media/n...

Donald Trump said that he "understands sport" Later, he then says that he didn't know what a red card meant. That's some good understanding there🙄 Later, he says that referees are not allowed to review in slow motion. That is incorrect. All VAR replays, certainly in UK, are in slow & freeze motion

Trump suggests that Belgium would not have wanted to win with Balogun being suspended. It would have a "bad taste"! No! My apologies to my American friends, but this feels immoral and cheating! Also said that FIFA President Gianni Infantino's "stock has risen"! Not to me, it hasn't! Far from it!

I'm watching Donald Trump speaking live in the Oval Office He admits to speaking to FIFA because USA "can't have their best player" missing. He likens Balogun to "Messi, Ronaldo or Harry Kane" being sent-off "for hitting someone a bit too hard". Presumably, all 3 can do this now and without worry?

#Breakingkindsongs #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 6th: a song from 1982 You Can't Hurry Love by Phil Collins Personally, I agree that you can't hurry love. It takes time to build. 🖤🩶🤍💚 www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJQw...

England 1982 World Cup song. See how many players you can recognise. I don't have the answer, so you'll have to do your own research, sorry. I think I named 11, but it's difficult to see everyone or work out how many players are singing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uO84...

USA striker Folarin Balogun has been made available to play in his country's next match, despite being sent-off in his previous match. He should be serving a one-match ban, but FIFA has suspended his ban for a year! Donald Trump, a friend of Fifa president Gianni Infantino, has thanked FIFA (1/2)

#Breakingkindsongs #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 5th: a song to make you drive fast Atomic by Blondie I'm more of a drive slow and hold up the traffic person rather than drive fast. However, I do recall this song being used in an episode of the A-Team, as Face drove fast.

#SongBuilding #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 5: arcade Got My Mind Set on You by George Harrison There are 2 different videos for this song. One of them is set in an amusement arcade. Unfortunately, I can't find that video; only one with Spanish captions. Maybe, the other video was for UK only?

I've learnt something tonight - mainly because I never bothered to look until now🙃 - that you can still buy Old Spice after shsve. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rbZ...

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 5th: relating to 1 of the 5 senses I Hear Your Voice by Loren Allred A subtly comforting song www.youtube.com/watch?v=viaf...

I can name one with both🙂 One of my favourite Roxette songsI Crash! Boom! Bang! by Roxette www.youtube.com/watch?v=aoXr...

To all my American friends: Happy Independence Day🇺🇸 even though I'm the enemy🇬🇧🏳️😲🙃 Thankfully, we love each other now (at least most of us do😪). Hopefully, we will never drift a part and lose our friendship🇺🇸🇬🇧

FIFA World Cup 2026™ - 04/07/2026 Argentina - Cabo Verde 3-2 (Aproximadamente 48 milhões de argentinos e cerca de 1,3 milhões de cabo-verdianos) Certas derrotas parecem um pouco vitórias. 🇨🇻 ❤️ ✊ www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1mH...

#Breakingkindsongs #MusicChallenge July 4th: Independence Day an event or activity associated with July 4th I am not well informed on associated activities, sorry. Probably because I'm the enemy🇬🇧🏳️😲🙃 Thankfully, we love each other now (at least most of us do😪) Independent Lovesong by Scarlet

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 4th: a song with less than 5 letters in the title FATE by Alan Walker and Ava Max This was only released within the past week. Absolutely brilliant. One of my best heard songs of 2026 so far🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKp-...

Cabo Verde, wow!⚽ Not sure where Monteiro was going. Halfway up the stand, but let him celebrate😂 what a goal! Please, please let this happen. Cabo Verde deserve to win.

Kick-off is staying at 1am(UK time) despite FIFA swapping it briefly to 7pm before reversing their decision I'm disappointed. However, to swap the game would have been unfair on Mexico, Brazil and Norway Norwegians are looking forward to a 10pm (Norway time). It's not fair to push them back to 1am

Argentina vs Cabo Verde⚽ It couldn't happen, could it?😳

Australia have substituted their goalkeeper with seconds to spare before the expected penalty shoot out. interesting tactics. I've seen that happen in a game previously. Can't for the life of me remember who or when, but within the past few years.

it's nonsense. Men wore all colors until the 19th century, then Victorians decided men only got black, grey, dark blues, maybe some brown. George Washington wore a bright purple suit to a ball & pink, especially a brilliant color called aurora, was prized by all genders in 18th-century clothing.

BBC has just said that FIFA could bring forward the Mexico vs England match to 7pm (UK time) Sunday evening. This has NOT been confirmed, so you'll need to follow the news for updates⚽

#BreakingKindSongs ♫ #MusicChallenge July 3rd: song that starts with any of the letters J,U,L or Y Universe by Alba August who is currently in the running to be my most played artist on Spotify this year. www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNDt...

Random 2am thought. Actually, it's random 1am thought because my brain has begun working earlier. Wouldn't it be nice if we could acquire - not new build because we want to protect the wildlife - a village where nice & inoffensive people only lived. We could base it on their social media posts🙂

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 3rd: a song with a profession or a past -time in the title Dancing by Kylie Minogue For the past several months, I've been dancing around the kitchen, while prepare the evening meal... as you do in a dangerous environment🤕😳🙄

2am random thought Growing up, we were told that "blue is for boys and pink is for girls" Is that nature or nonsense? Apparently, in the 1910s, it was the other way around. Then in the 1940s, it was swapped; "widely believed to be a marketing decision to sell more gender-specific baby clothes"

#BreakingKindSongs ♫ #MusicChallenge July 2nd: song that has a colour in the title or lyrics Shades Of Indigo by Lynnea M This is one of my Spotify most played songs for each of the past few years. It's ideal for a little dance around the kitchen www.youtube.com/watch?v=1d_h...

#DavidsMonthofMusic #MusicChallenge #MusicSky July 2nd: a song with either "always" or "forever" in the title Always the Sun by The Stranglers First released in 1986. One of those songs to get you thinking about life and meaning. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cYQT...

#SongBuilding #MusicChallenge #MusicSky Day 2: modern Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl by Chappell Roan This will get you moving and "shaking your.... ". Well, you get the idea there😲 Mood boosting, feel good pop🎶 www.youtube.com/watch?v=bIxu...

For my American friends, who are about to watch USA vs Bosnia-Herzegovina, enjoy the game. Likewise, if you're supporting Bosnia-Herzegovina, enjoy the game. It should be a good, entertaining tie. I've no idea who I would say the favourite is, except the USA have home advantage⚽
