The Lights of London
With people’s increasing awareness of the environment, not to mention the cost and unreliability of future energy supplies, I wonder how much longer cities like London will be able to use energy in the form of unnecessary illuminations. So, before the lights start flickering, let’s enjoy these spectacles while we can.
The music I’ve chosen for this post is by Sade, one of my favourite female singers of all time. In this song, called Pearls, she sings about the harshness of life in Africa, and although she was born in Nigeria, Sade was brought up in Essex before moving to London.
Is it any wonder that so many migrants want to come to London for a better life? – but for many, those brand-new shoes will hurt every bit as much as they did in Africa – no matter how many lights are still twinkling down onto those streets paved with gold.
