Hi Strong Reception fans! I’m back and I’m trying something different here - a very short-form solo episode under the heading “The Song Diary”. Since moving to London, I’ve had an urge to create quickly digestible episodes where I choose a song that’s speaking to me at the moment because of what’s going on in my life and in my head.
I hope you enjoy this reflective little dive into a little-known song called “Can’t Help Thinking About Me” from 1966, by an as-yet unknown songwriter named Davy Jones, who had only just changed his name to David Bowie. I think this brave little teenage song is so different for its time and gets at some very adult things - even if it didn’t mean to! What happens to our brains and our bodies when we suffer a serious blow? If you’re anything like me - it’s an instinctive momentary regression to childhood that can overtake us if we don’t go to work on it. But I also think it’s vital and totally okay to acknowledge that we feel like a friendless kid when the sh-t goes sideways! X
