Excerpts from A Very Spectrum Christmas (Part 6), by Thomas A. Christie. In this section: "Special Delivery" by Creative Sparks (1984). Throughout the 1980s, thousands of British children were lucky enough to discover a Sinclair ZX Spectrum under their Christmas trees and soon found their eyes opened to a virtual world of wonder. But Santa Claus did more than deliver computers — sometimes he appeared on them, too. This book delves into the Spectrum’s extraordinary pantheon of seasonal games: the good, the bad, the surprising, the unabashedly surreal and the occasionally rather tenuous. "A Very Spectrum Christmas" is Copyright ©2021 Thomas A. Christie, all rights reserved, and is published by Extremis Publishing Ltd. This title is available as a physical book from www.extremispublishing.com and all good online retailers and independent booksellers worldwide.

So many things I should have said, by Ariana May

So many things I should have said, by Ariana May

'So many things I should have said' from the debut EP 'Perfect for You' by Ariana May.'So many things I should have said' is an emotional song about the regret of keeping your words inside; it reflects how although we have so many thoughts inside our minds, sometimes it feels like our tongues are tied. This poignant song is wistful and emotional as it echoes how we overthink everything, however is encouraging as it tells us to "always speak whatever's in your mind".The EP 'Perfect for You' is a collection of three songs: 'Perfect for You', 'Embers of the Sun' and 'So many things I should have said'. Though each song has a different message, they all possess the same paradoxical moods of poignancy and optimism; inspiring us with courage for the future or comfort in our memories. All the songs revolve around relationships and how each moment in life shapes us and makes us stronger.

Unconditionality - Kissing The Flint

Written by Australian singer-songwriter Leah Chynoweth-Tidy, Unconditionality is the title track of Kissing The Flint's debut EP, released in 2019.  Unconditionality is a word that summarises a positive regard ethic - in everything we do in life, we should accept others for who they are and not seek to bend them - and we should be treated, unconditionally in everything, the same way too.
