Songs that Fill my Heart #4



The first LP I ever bought was Adam and the Ants - Kings Of The Wild Frontier
The memory I have of holding it in the queue of Binns in Sunderland totally humbles me into a nostalgic wreck these days.

I can clearly remember going back to my Grandparents house and pulling the album out of the sleeve begging to 'put it on'. I was sent to the room that my Grandparents never used to listen to it. The drumming and the vocals instantly drilled into my senses and have resided there ever since.
The negative comments from the elders were exactly what any 9 year old kid wants to hear. Now Adam & the ants may seem soft to some but my family absolutely loathed it especially my Dad and to me that was 'well cool'
When I hear this song now I'm taken back to those days where I would endlessly stare at the album sleeve and inner sleeve with inner joy and ecstasy.
The lyrics "I feel beneath the white there is a red skin suffering" have always struck a chord with me and this is a song thats definately well embedded in the happy time side of my heart.
