Tuesday for me on Hive means three tune tuesday...
It's Tuesday and of course that means it's inspiration time!!
Last week I posted a cracking shadows post from Berwirck Upon Tweed teain station (Berwick upon Tweed 🏴 Train 🚂 Station SMASh) and it got to me think about trains....
Trainspotting, I was spotting trains, it is also one of my favourite films.
Have you seen Trainspotting? Or Trainspotting 2?
I thought what about a ttt with Trainspotting tunes.
Of course what would a ttt be without a earworm and we finish with one and it's corresponding TV ad.
So a wee tribute to Trainspotting coming up!
It is Tuesday and that of course means that it's #ttt or #threetunetuesday and so it's time to share some tunes with you!
Do go support
Long live #ttt 😁🎼 and #threetunetuesday
Trainspotting ~ The 1996 film
Gritty iconic and hilarious film about life for youngsters in depressed Edinburgh schemes (housing estates) when Edinburgh was the heroin capital of Europe.
Kicking off with ....
Iggy Pop : Lust For Life - Trainspotting
Damn, watching that brought back some cracking memories!
I lived in a big flat on Elm Row when I was at uni in Edinburgh before they gentifried Leith walk and damn was just like that. They drank neat vodka in the morning then started on brown smack. A couple of them even worked in banks 🤣 Fluffing nutters.
The lead photograph I took is actually the street where I had my flat, and it is the right but you can't see it for the fluffing roadworks!
But what a song and Iggy Pop what a legend.
Did you know David Bowie cowrote that for him in 1977?
Well now you do!
My god this is going to be so hard.
Not only is Trainspotting one of my favourite films, but the soundtrack is one of my favourite soundtracks.
Funnily enough all my favourite films have mental soundtracks!
Trainspotting - Just A Perfect Day Scene
I think I shall try to add the links/videos for the scenes with music...
Lou Reed I mean talk about legends, why have I not made a ttt with only his songs?
I will, I will ....
I do see that this was age-restricted and only available on You Tube ....
So I shall put a video of him singing it as well....
Bonus Tune ...
Perfect Day --- Lou Reed feat Luciano Pavarotti
Yep will pop this one in with one of the most well know classical singers of all time Luciano Pavarotti .. Something classical for you
There can only be one ending for this ttt....
If you have seen the film or remember the soundtrack can you guess?
Blur "Sing" TRAINSPOTTING
This video probably sums up the film and the crazy 90s in Edinburgh!
So here goes!
At times like this you realise you miss past times!
Blur of course were massive back in the day...
I hope that you enjoyed these Trainspotting flavoured tunes.
Which was your favourite (if any) ?
Note: The three YouTube videos that I have shared are not owned by me, I am simply spreading great music on Hive.
I wish that you all have a brilliant rest of your week, and until we meet again enjoy your tunes 🎶🎵🎶
