Sunday Morning 10am (Part 2)

A lot has been written about Teddy’s death this week.
I’ve not much to add really, except to say it feels good to honour the people who’s music has touched you in some way. Everything seems so disposable now-music and culture comes and goes, it’s so fluid you can barely hold onto it long enough for it to feel your own. But the good stuff, it gets under your skin and finds a place in the soundtrack of your life, scoring the different moods and experiences you encounter along the way.
Love TKO was one of those tunes for me. I know it’s not as heavy as some of the uptempo, disco numbers-in fact it’s probably dangerously close to being a ‘heart fm’ track. But I don’t care; you don’t choose the tracks that move you. There is something about that chorus that gets me every time; “I think I better let it go” sung in such a way, that you knew that Teddy had been there, felt that moment when a relationship is beyond repair, when everything you try to do just makes things worse. It’s the realisation that you’ve blown it and you’ve got to start all over again, somewhere new. And it’s got those melancholy philly strings and that groove and all that 100% unprocessed soul; it just feels true.
So thank you Teddy, sometimes this was the perfect song.
