Now you will say that I don't look old enough but honestly my younger, yes younger, daughter was 21 on Saturday. So her mother and I toddled off to that London for a bit of celabratoriness with the offspring. We drunk a couple of bottles of champagne, we stayed in a nice hotel and we went to see Les Miserables. Which I have to say is really jolly good. And this song is up there with the all time great songs to get you in the mood for killing people. Now this is quite a specialised category of music but it is an important one which includes Welcome to the Jungle, Tomorrow Belongs to Me, The International and probably Jerusalem, all of which in their variousness should ensure that I've offended someone somewhere. Job done then. So gird your loins and sing along as you man the barricades.

Suitably girded and a resounding rendition was heard in the household, one of my favourite show songs.
ReplyDeleteMarginally beaten I might say by most of the Jersey boys and the classic from Les Miz - Bring him home. A fine celebratory version to be found on itunes by the Valjean quartet including the magnificent Colm Wilkinson, the first Valjean I saw so was spoilt.
Get rocking to the Jersey boys a fantastic show.
