  2. MONDAY MATINEE MUSIC VIDEO! “The Longest Time” youtube.com/watch?v=CCl7HGtaJ1E Sometimes love presents holy moments. Even when one has to go separate ways, one can feel angels present. This micro-musical by Chris Andrews is pop balladry at its best. On a cosmic jukebox this song would play next to Michael Bolton, Cliff Richard, Leo Sayer, and Robbie Williams. youtube.com/watch?v=CCl7HGtaJ1E

  4. "Mistletoe and Wine" - Twiggy

    Written for ITV's "The Little Match Girl" from 1986.

    Lyricist Leslie Stewart came up with the lyric, Keith Strachan set it to a tune.

    The song became a lively knees-up music hall number, sung by well-to-do revellers utterly indifferent to the suffering around them. It's surprisingly socialist, this.

    Cliff re-wrote it to fit his parochial agenda, and had the big hit of '88.
