Ned the Romantic


When I'm feeling sad, which is like, everyday now of course, I like to listen to Ned's music over and over. It's very cathartic, comforting and takes me somewhere perhaps where he is.

He was such a romantic and if people know about how he proposed to Vicki, then you will also know that he was pretty insane too. After the day that Ned did a skydive - he jumped and then changed into a white tuxedo and Vicki followed and then he proposed to her on bended knees - the music of David Gray always reminded me of Ned and Vicki and their beautifully strong and passionate relationship.

Here are two of Ned and Vicki songs for you. 
"Sail Away" was what Ned had playing when Vicki landed and he "popped the question."
