I asked one of the folks on the Aussie #FountainPen Discord which ink they'd like me to use today and they chose Diamine's Bittersweet.
Of course that got Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve stuck in my head, oh yes, there was no shifting it. Go and look at the clip on Youtube and see if I got the sense of it with this mer version of Richard Ashcroft rudely swimming through a bunch of sea creatures.
This is #MerMay No.2 for MerMay2026

What do you call a feeling that's like nostalgia but for a time you don't miss, and in fact hated?
I love the music of my youth, The #Offspring and #SkunkAnanzi and #GreenDay and #TheVerve and... You get it.
Which may sound odd from the guy who loves #powerwolf and #brothersofmetal.
Well it's because I'm happy. But I was miserable when that music was current. I was closeted, depressed and deeply unhappy. I was filled with impotent rage. That music let me express all that in healthy ways. It was an outlet that undoubtedly saved my life several times.
I dont have nostalgia for that time. I hated it. But I still love the music that helped me survive it.

This week's challenge comes a little late... but try writing a song that uses a short repeated phrase/hook without a separate chorus section.
Examples: “Blowin’ in the Wind” (Bob Dylan), “I Got Rhythm” (George & Ira Gershwin), “Bittersweet Symphony” (The Verve), “Hello” (Lionel Ritchie).

OK, time for a bit of a #ThrowbackFriday too. 😋
The Verve - Bittersweet symphony.
Before anyone asks... yes I did do some minor radio work for a local community raid in the 90's and very nearly had my own late night weekly show on a major station in my town... Until nepotism from the new studio manager got in the way.
