Ten Tunes to Garden To

Off the top of my head...


1. Unit 4 Plus 2 - The Concrete and the Clay
(see previous post)

2. Crowded House - Four Seasons in One Day
(Self-explanatory. We're in Britain.)

3. The The - Love Is Stonger Than Death
("Here come the blue skies/ Here comes springtime/ When the rivers run high and the tears run dry/ When everything that dies... shall rise." )

4. Galliano - Earthboots

5. Yasmin Levy - Kondja Mia, Kondja Mia (My Rosebud, My Rosebud)

6. U2 - Wild Honey
("Are you still growing wild/ With everything tame around you?/ I send you flowers/ Cut flowers for your hall/ I know your garden is full/ But is there sweetness at all?") + Local interest.

7. Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
("I see trees of green/ Red roses too/ I see them bloom/ For me and you...")

8. KT Tunstall - The Beauty of Uncertainty
(Yup. That's gardening.)

9. Elvis Costello - Tramp the Dirt Down.
(David Cameron's "Thatcherism with a heart - honest" conference speech reminded me exactly how much I'm looking forward to blasting this out at full volume whilst giving a whole new meaning to the term "champagne socialist" - but for the time being, via headphones whilst stamping in grass seed will have to do...)

10. The Beatles - Blackbird.

Any other suggestions?
