press play
The Magic Numbers' cover of this Smiths song seems like a good soundtrack to this weekend. Today, early this morning, the man I love went to Denmark to work and live for a few months. He has also gone to undertake the task of 'thinking about us'. What's happened between us is a long and complicated 5 year history I shan't go into now, but he used to play me this on the guitar at the very start, and we were later dubbed The Magic Numbers by some of our friends!
The harmonies and delightful picking set this apart from the original, but serve to only enhance the tone of melancholy, which - let's face it - is what we're probably listening to the Smiths for anyway. This photo was taken on a trip to Tintagel Castle and always makes me think of this track as even under the darkness there seems to be hope.
