Sam Dufton’s meaning of soul
The word sole refers to the bottom part of one’s foot or shoe. It is also a type of fish. Turn a few more pages in your dictionary and you come across soul, which exists both with AND without the presence of the aforementioned items. That guy sat next to you in the office, he got soul; just look at the LOVE he’s putting into that digitally rendered map. That little girl who’s dropped her ice cream? SoulFULL: not only is she eating frozen food in winter, she’s also bawling louder than James Brown.
There are also voids where soul escapes us all, Simon Amstell recently said these spots were Tess Daly’s eyes, but it is also most of everything else that’s staring at you from the other light-giving box in your life (apart from Spooks, that’s grrreat). So turn off your tellybox, wrap up warm and head outside because it’s Christmas for chrissakes, and if you can’t find any soul with your soles on our festive dancefloors it can only be because you’re not shaking it hard enough. Come on now, like a polaroid picture, that’s the way. If all else fails never fear, for soul is available during the Rush Hour, at Hi-Speed, via Jungle Telegraph, in Rubber or Wax. Arf.
Tomorrow’s meaning of soul comes from Tom Allalone, of Tom Allaone and The 78s.
