This is the second time she has appeared on Covid Island Discs.

This song was the second one she chose and I must confess at the time I thought she was brave to share a song which actually made her quite vulnerable to a class of all boys given its lyrical content. It is however, a very beautiful song that I am sure many women (and let’s face it men) can relate to.
