Your Song

[rose2008-2008]

What is the song that makes you think of your younger days?. It may be a Love Song if you fell in love or a Happy song. The song that reminds you of your first dance or disco you went too?.

One that springs to mind with me is The Bee Gees, How Deep is your Love. I danced my first ever slow dance with a lovely lad i knew at school. If he knew this he would probably be surprised how it has stuck in my mind!!!. How Romantic awwwww.

"Sugar, Sugar" by The Archies; reminds me of my first love. Happy days, LOL

Also love "Dancing Queen" by Abba.

Love Seventies music

my first ever slow dance was to nights in white satin

I don't have one particular SONG but one particular GROUP - I was then, and still am now, the biggest SHOWADDYWADDY fan. Any song of theirs reminds me of my youth as I used to go to see them every year at De Montfort Hall in Leicester. The Leicester concert was always their last before Christmas as they are a Leicester band. Without sounding too morbid I have even made a list of wishes for my funeral - which will include songs of Showaddywaddy.

POWER to you Carol im a Seventies fan myself although you may have gathered that.

The song that means the most to me was the one that was very popular (probably No. 1 that week) was Hey Jude.  We were on honeymoon 45 years ago this week.

I feel embarrassed to say, whenever I heard Nights in white satin, I didn't understand what it meant and in my minds eye I saw knights on horseback riding along with white satin streamers attached to their helmets and horses .  Well, I can't help it, I was an innocent.

Know what you mean, CG! Knights wearing white satin cloaks over their armour.  Never did find out what it was supposd to be about.  Decided the band must've been stoned!

Songs that bring back memories include Tallahassee Lassie by Freddie Cannon, Sealed with a Kiss by Brian Hyland, and Elvis' Return to Sender and His Latest Flame. The memories are of sitting in my friend Carol's bedroom trying on Miner's lipsticks - bright pink!

Sunday Morning Coming Down by JohnnyCash/Kris Kristopherson, summed it up really!

[ed_blackadder_1]

The song that I had the greatest fun with was Diana Ross Chain Reaction, my friend and I used to go mad when it came on in the disco and got up and danced we had all the moves. those were the days.

I have left instructions on two tunes I would like at my funeral, the Crying Game by Boy George and Fields of Gold by Sting. Beautiful and haunting, like me.   ha ha.

Was really my dad picked my song !

I left school at 15 and went into the Merchant Navy then when I came out 12 years later could not settle into a job that kept me indoors in one place so became a driver and delivered new cars all over the UK, now tramp around Scotland every day making deliveries.

The song my dad said should be mine was "Wandrin' Star" by Lee Marvin.

[chips-and-brown-gravy]

The song I have picked out for my funeral is 'I'm on Fire' by Bruce Springsteen - you guessed it - cremation.

10cc singing I'm not in Love....it was summertime and I shared a flat with 4 other girls, we had a ball! it was a boiling hot day when this came on the radio and the mix of the heat and the introduction of this song really stuck in my mind.

When I die I'm having the words from Les Mis 'no song unsung, no wine untasted' put on my grave. Mine and OH's song is 'One Moment In Time'. We were on holiday in Kenya once and I persuaded him to go into the village one evening. The bar we ended up in didn't have a roof but there was a band playing on the weirdest collection of instruments plus some fake Masai warriors wandering around telling people they had killed lions and selling things! We got up to dance and they started to play one moment in time and the heavens opened! It was the weirdest setting ever and one of the best evenings I've ever had.

I remember Elton John, playing on a cassette (showing my age) in the

coach when we went to the Lake District on a field trip, I was in what is

now called year 10, same age as my son is now.  It was "Goodbye Yellow

Brick Road" and I have it on CD, can't play it without thinking of that trip.

Little did I know back then that I would one day be driving a coach to

the Lake District, amongst other places, with Elton John on the CD!

A few years ago when I was driving one of the rail replacement coaches,

I had Elton John playing and on came the song "This Train Don't Stop Here Anymore"

which some of the passengers thought appropriate for the monent!

We also loved Abba and loads of their songs take me back to the '70's.

Another song, well more a piece of music, is Mike Oldfield's "Mont St. Michael"

which I had playing when I was driving a coach alongside Loch Ness a few

years ago.  The music, and the location just went together and sometimes I

play it to re-live that drive!

[fishpieface]

I don't remember ever having a dancing song, though we must have as

we went to the school discos.  My husband was my first and only boyfriend

and I think it's more likely he'll be jet-propelled to the moon in his underpants

than dance!
