God...I love music so much it's really hard to pin it down to one.
When I moved to Wolves, rock band "Stain'd" were pretty big and they had a tune out that completely summed up my fears of leaving the homeland and venturing away...
Later it was Nickelback "This is how you remind me of what I really am"
Last year Ian Brown "Keep what you got, by giving it all away.." (summed up my feelings at work really)
Couple of life-long tunes that have follwed me though - Boston and "More than a Feeling" and the one that was pinned to me at college: Iron Maiden and "Bring your daughter to the Slaughter"......dont know why that would've been :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Sorry that's too many!

Our song-something changed by Pulp :inlove:
I have two songs that make me smile and remember certain points in my life.
1. Seasons in the sun by Terry Jacks ....... reminds me of been young and singing it to my great grandfather .i miss him so much
2. Hero by Enrique Iglesias............. Mike and my song always makes me realise how lucky I am to have Mike in my life as he is truly my hero.
U2 LYRICS
"Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own"
Tough, you think you've got the stuff
You're telling me and anyone
You're hard enough
You don't have to put up a fight
You don't have to always be right
Let me take some of the punches
For you tonight
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
We fight all the time
You and I...that's alright
We're the same soul
I don't need...I don't need to hear you say
That if we weren't so alike
You'd like me a whole lot more
Listen to me now
I need to let you know
You don't have to go it alone
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you when I don't pick up the phone
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
I know that we don't talk
I'm sick of it all
Can - you - hear - me - when - I -
Sing, you're the reason I sing
You're the reason why the opera is in me...
Where are we now?
I've still got to let you know
A house still doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone...
And it's you when I look in the mirror
And it's you that makes it hard to let go
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
Sometimes you can't make it
The best you can do is to fake it
Sometimes you can't make it on your own
<sniff> If only he'd listen. sad
oh and when i was pregnant with our youngest,this was very apt....
Look at the stars;
Look how they shine for you,
And everything you do.
Yeah, they were all yellow.
I came along;
I wrote a song for you.
And all the things you do.
And it was called "Yellow".
So then I took my turn.
Oh what a thing to have done.
And it was all yellow.
Your skin,
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful.
D'you know?
You know I love you so.
You know I love you so.
I swam across;
I jumped across for you.
Oh what a thing to do.
'Cause you were all yellow.
I drew a line;
I drew a line for you.
Oh what a thing to do.
And it was all yellow.
And your skin,
Oh yeah, your skin and bones
Turn into something beautiful.
D'you know?
For you I bleed myself dry.
For you I bleed myself dry.
It's true.
Look how they shine for you.
Look how they shine for you.
Look how they shine for…
Look how they shine for you.
Look how they shine for you.
Look how they shine.
Look at the stars; Look how they shine for you, And all the things that you do

It is strange how a song about stalking can be so popular lol :lol:

Don't Stop Me Now " Queen "
Gives me the push i sometimes need to reach my goals in life :sparring:
For me it is Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers.
Why: Dancing in the surf at a beach restaurant at dusk in Barbados on our wedding night

Dave
Betch By Golly Wow..........The Sylistics
means a lot to me
Got a few but,
Nine Inch Nail's ' We're in this together' is a very special song for me especially at the moment.

It changes often but at the moment it's Mr Brightside by The Killers.
After I split with my girlfriend and she started seeing someone else I often thought her seeing another guy would excite me, as I'd often fantasised about sharing her with another man, but the reality is it felt is more like a nervous/nauseous excitement mixed with a mild jealousy, that I'm sure some of you feel like sometimes when you watch your partner with someone:
I'm coming out of my cage
And I’ve been doing just fine
Gotta gotta gotta be down
Because I want it all
It started out with a kiss
How did it end up like this
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I’m falling asleep
And she’s calling a cab
While he’s having a smoke
And she’s taking a drag
Now they’re going to bed
And my stomach is sick
And it’s all in my head
But she’s touching his—chest
Now, he takes off her dress
Now, let me go
I just can’t look its killing me
And taking control
Jealousy, turning saints into the sea
Swimming through sick lullabies
Choking on your alibis
But it’s just the price I pay
Destiny is calling me
Open up my eager eyes
‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
Great song too... I'd like to ask then what the song is really about.
OMG..........
This is sooooooooo hard.... There is so many.....
Phil Collins.... Against all odds
Phil Collins....Hold on my heart
? Move Closer (sorry cant remember her name again)
Andre Agesi.... Im not alone.... (proper shagging song)
George Michael..... Amazing
Joss Stone..... Well most of her songs.... There are all as good as eachother
Lisa Stansfield..... Time to make u mine
I have to admit i like Westlife too redface
I could go on forever..... but i think you get the pic...lol
There's a folk song called The Parting Glass that we played at my dad's funeral that generally results in me quietly blubing in the corner. Other songs have done that too, possibly because so much of my early musical tastes were based on what I could nick from his collection, and he had cracking taste in music.
Gigantic by The Pixies
And this I know
His teeth as white as snow
What a gas it was to see him
Walk her every day
Into a shady place
With her lips she said
She said
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Lovely legs they are
What a big black mess
What a hunk of love
Walk her every day into a shady place
He's like the dark, but I'd want him
Hey Paul, Hey Paul, Hey Paul, let's have a ball
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
Gigantic, gigantic, gigantic
A big big love
I know exactly what your saying DP.
For me its 'A Bridge over Troubled Water' that was played at my sisters funeral. I can no longer play the album.
On a better note, when our daughter was in Hospital, the radio played 'Everythings going to be alright' and it was biggrin
Dido.... Leaving on a Jet Plane
Leann Rimes - Can't Fight The Moonlight
Always cheers me up!

Two songs:
"New Gold Dream" by Simple Minds- reminds me of days spent as a student when the only real worry I had was where was I going to drink that night.
"With Or Without You" - U2 - same sort of reasons
Hndrix is high up there too. But i have so many favourites I'd bore you all to death.

Don't Stop Me Now " Queen "
