This song sure sounds like “All Right Now,” a song that will always bring back a great memory—it was spilling out of a restaurant doorway on a bright, warm, post-pandemic afternoon in September—and as we were emerging from that very dark time, we could finally believe that things WOULD be ALL RIGHT NOW!

What a lovely, sad and poignant song—R.I.P. Sinead.

You night (early morning) owls set the bar too high for some of us... On Demand as usual for me, but it's Breakfast Stories for me this time round. Very appetizing soundtrack!
