Drop The Pilot by Joan Armatrading
(sorry, guys, I thought I’d scheduled this, but apparently, I hadn’t. This is for yesterday)
The funny thing about Drop the Pilot is that I’d probably not readily put it on my all time favourite list, but it never ceases to energise me when I here it. And I did try very hard to get a copy of it, so it makes the list. It was written and first performed by Joan Armatrading and was the first song released from her album The Key in 1983 (yes, I was alive then, although I didn’t hear the song till much later in life).
Apparently, Mandy Moore has also performed this song before, but I haven’t heard it before. My philosophy when it comes to music is that, the original is always best. I know at least one person is going to try to argue with that, but I am unrepentant!
I like this song simply because it’s fun.
What do you think?
