Fifty for Fifi

We don’t get to date as often as we’d like, but we do make sure to keep dating. Dating is about the feeling of being an adventure together – sometimes a simple adventure with maybe a movie and some dinner, but an adventure all the same. Something different from the usual.

Tonight’s song is about going on a date. Joe Jackson is an interesting character, and very much a musician’s musician. While my favourite track from him is his cover of Common People with William Shatner, I absolutely love Steppin’ Out with its driving bassline and it’s sparking piano chords. I manages to evoke the feeling of being young and out together.

Fi and I didn’t really get to be very young together. It’s one of the regrets we share in life. That being said who we were when we met each other was who we needed each other to be. Fi’s better than “if only” and “what if” than I am; I try to be in the now and look to the future.

The future involves further dates. Further steppin’ out. By the future, I mean specifically tomorrow night. Have a nice weekend anyone and everyone who’s reading.
