Happy New Year

And for my final blog of 2012 I wanted to post something appropriate. Donovan's 'New Year Resolution' fits the bill if you can get past the rather cacky sentimentality. It's a bit too limp-wristed to feature on my first 2013 compilation but the lyrics are good enough for me... 

 

Do what you've never done before

See what you've never seen

Feel what you've never felt before

Go where you've never been

Sing what you've never sung before

Say what you've never said

Bear what you've never bourne before

Hear what you've never heard.

 

Happy New Year everyone. Here's to 2013 and the greatest of expectations...
