Therapy For Me

If you think getting a bloke in his late 40"s to talk about the stuff going on in his head is difficult...you should try getting him to stop.

W/C 14th April 2025I am quietly chuckling to myself, because I never thought I would be able to feed a song title like this one into an episode of TFM. But in the context of the content for this week, and if you flip it around a bit, and imagine it from a certain perspective then it does make a lot of sense.Anyway it's a bit of a funny one this week, with the early week being the closing stages of our holiday to Gran Canaria, before setting back off to what was a slightly unusual end to the working

W/C 7th April 2025As it turns out a Saltwater swimming pool does (in point of fact) still contain Chlorine.Not an opening sentence I thought I would ever use for a slice of TFM, but the experiences of the week have brought me here, and after all that is what this is all about.I have been informed by Goggle AI that 'a saltwater swimming poolutilises a salt chlorine generator to produce chlorine from salt, offering a less harsh alternative to traditional chlorine pools.While it doesn't eliminate

W/C 31st March 202526 minutes to go until this weeks TFM is due to be published and I have no idea what to do about the notes.Michael Sembello is pulsating out of the speakers on my desk, and if I flip tabs I can see the very MTV era video playing away in its non-widescreen format. We are due to be leaving the house for a family shopping trip to Meadowhall at quarter to, which is only adding to the pressing nature of my task.Normally I would have a little nugget leftover from the episode, something

Drive

Therapy For Me ·

2025/03/29

W/C 24th March 2025One of the great things about recording TFM is that I get to rack my brains and come up with an episode title that is also a song. You know the rules, the song title (where possible) must be pertinent to some of the themes of the week's episode, and I try and make it a song I have some history with.Clearly this week was going to be fairly easy, I mean how many song titles are there that contain the word 'Drive' (don't answer that, because it is quite a lot). But here's the thing,

W/C 17th March 2025I have heard this story three times now, and it floors me every time.This song was written as part of Radio 2's 21st century Folk project, where a group of songwriters were invited to write songs about other peoples lives. The song describes the day that Thea travelled to the North East to meet Delyth Raffell, and to hear about her daughter Ellen who passed away at the age of 16 from an allergic reaction.I was drawn to the song on the first listen, long before I understood the

Welcome to fellow Marillion folk and all newcomers to this podcast...A few things to know, Therapy For Me has been running for just over five years and is a safe space for me to process what has been going on over the course of the last week.It is unscripted, recorded (mostly) in one take and published fresh everything Saturday morning around 9am GMTThe episode titles are based around songs that tie-in to some aspect of the content of that week, and feature tracks that have floated in and out of my

W/C 10th March 2025I love this song, and I love this album.Bearing in mind what I am talking about this week I wanted something sublime and beautiful, and this is surely it.Should I be using something other than Marillion to describe a Marillion weekend? Absolutely I should, anything by the band themselves would be a little too 'on the nose'Anyway I hope you are well and have had a good week, mine has been another one of those slightly surreal ones, for which I feel blessed.Stay safe.Crazy on the

W/C 24th February 2025I found myself watching the first Rambo film last night, partly because it was there and partly because I haven’t seen any of that particular franchise.Clearly they were films of their time, but it is interesting that the original - which was called First Blood and has since been rebranded as Rambo: First Blood - bore little resemblance to the genre it effectively spawned.It got me thinking about the parallels the Deep Purple Machine Head, which I had also listened to for the

W/C 17th February 2025It really has been a revelation listening to some CDs again, the only real downside is that I had forgotten the effort it takes to read the album titles up on the high shelf in the back room.You will understand what has got me to this point when you have listened to this weeks TFM, but in real terms it means I have given the following a spin;Symphonie Fantastique - Hector BerliozTower of Song: The Songs of Leonard Cohen - Various ArtistsSmall World Turning - Thea GilmoreGreen

W/C 10th February 2024As I have mentioned before, there are some weeks when it comes around to TFM time that I literally have nothing. Over time I have learnt not to panic, trust the process, and hey presto something appears right when I need it and away we go.The same is also true of writing the notes.So even though I finished this weeks TFM last night, I am still waiting for process to deliver, to allow me to finish the notes. I am staring to panic a little because I am hoping to get out for a run

W/C 3rd February 2025Whatever we thought was going to happen when the world became more connected, this absolutely ain't it.I have spent the last few weeks speculating on the 'end-game' for the sector I work in. Not quite existential, but certainly diminished to a point that would have been unthinkable when I first wandered into a guitar shop back in the mid-eighties.Of course it is part of a bigger pattern, where the problem isn't the information we have at our fingertips, but the difficulty we now

W/C 27th January 2025You may well have heard of Rob Thomas, and if so it is entirely possible this is down to the Santana tune Smooth. Not only did he sing on that track, he also rewrote the lyrics and melody.My Rob Thomas story starts in Durham, on a Sunday afternoon and the purchase of the first Matchbox Twenty album from a little independent CD shop just this side of the bridge.It is a cracking album called Yourself or Somebody Like You, and it was followed up by the equally sublime Mad Season

W/C 20th January 2025I just need to accept the inevitability of not sleeping when I arrive here.But no, for the first two nights I tried to outwit my old LA nemesis by every single combination of pillow and bedding known to man, in the vain hope that I would unlock the mystical elixir of deep and unbroken sleep.You are aware in an instant, on awaking at 03:17, that sleep as an option has been pulled from the menu, so why would I believe that having one foot out from under the covers and one of the

There is a Marillion tie-in as he often works with Ben CastlePride and Prejudice (sort of) has just begun its run for this year, and is going to be on the road for quite a while so you have a good chance of

W/C 6th January 2025It's always a little strange that the first couple of episodes of the New Year also mark the end of another year of TFM.Here we are at episode 52 of season 5, which means that next week will mark the beginning of my sixth year of banging away at whatever this curious little podcast actually is. Anyway, whilst searching to see if `I had used this weeks episode title before (which I had) I took a moment to stop and read the episode notes from back in January 2021, and as it turns

Old December

W/C 30th December 2024Having made the decision to go with Old December as the title track, it turns out I have already used it - way back at the end of December 2021.That left me with the dilemma of what to do, should I consider something different and if so should I re-record the final bit of the podcast? Of course that would have meant selecting another tune as an episode title, and nothing was coming to mind.Should I go back and rename the earlier episode? Not a bad idea, but I would have to go

W/C 23rd December 2024Here we go then, the Christmas TFM. Over the last couple of weeks I have been watching a lot of Christmas specials, you know the kind of thing Not Going Out, Gavin & Stacey, Frasier, Click & Collect, etc, etc. I have been over indulging in them for the reasons we do anything at this time of the year; they are there and they make you feel good.And I think some of that Christmas Special formula has permeated its way into this week's episode. Think about it, it feels like

W/C 16th December 2024The biggest problem I had trying to replicate my Chrissy Mix playlist on Spotify came literally at the start of the process. Since my very crack at that particular selection, the first track had always been Gabriels Message by Marillion. No ifs, no buts, no negotiations.Of course that particular version started out life as a fan club only release, and still to this day is not available on Spotify. So I had to find an alternative, atmospheric opener and whilst I love Sol

W/C 9th December 2024I am going to mention Love Actually in this week's TFM, and even though it is a bit of a passing reference, it prompted me to search out a video clip that I had seen a snippet of earlier in the week on instagram.I have therefore just watched the full speech that Hugh Grant made, as he introduced Richard Curtis at a recent awards ceremony. I draw it to your attention because it reaffirms why Hugh is such a national treasure, he is grumpy and a little self-centred, and invariably
