MTV 120 Minutes show made me remember the year 1992 when The Wedding Present released a new single each month that year. They were later put together on their "Hit Parade" album. Though every song was great I still remember how the song and video for the song "Boing" became a personal favourite. David Gedge really has a special way to write about love and longing and falling in love and breaking up. The weird bit is how I chatted with his current girlfriend, I hope that they are still together, Jess on the Solo chat for a few years before she met David, whom she was a big fan of, and they fell in love.
I always felt from Davids lyrics that he is the type of man that when he falls in love he does so with his entire soul and a bit. So it was no surprise to me when he wrote the song "Queen Anne" for Jess, inspired by where she is from in Seattle. I wish there were more people like David in music who can combine great music with lyrics that go from the almost childish to the very deep and he always made sure The Wedding Present had great endings to their songs that are worth waiting for. I was pleased for David and Jess to learn that Morrissey had them both on his VIP list when he toured south of England some years ago.

"I just wanna cling to you and save you from the universe". Oh David, Jess is a tough girl she can hold her own.
