I think that everyone has a particular song that means more to them than any other.... the song that maybe was played when they first met a partner, or one that was playing at a party, wedding or something else.....
The one song that immediately brings that memory racing back into your head......
I heard my favourite song played whilst sat in a strange pub on Saturday evening... it's Follow You, Follow Me... by Genesis.... brought a smile to my face... and a glow to my heart...
What's your special song?

For me, its got to be Baker Street, by Gerry Rafferty
Special memories of spending 5 months in Malta

Thats very sad Steph
He never got to see Sam grow up, and Sam never got to see and feel her fathers love

For me, it's "Born to be Wild" by Steppenwolf.... one of the few songs taht brings back memories of happier times in my youth and the "open road". :P
I have other songs that remind me of sad/hurtful times that bring tears to these male eyes.. (a grown man cry ?? I hear you say). I try not to listen to them (Sentimental old me) :upset:
*My Way* by Frank Sinatra, which my grandfather always hummed as he worked around the house . . .
He's died when I was aged 9 years, so a long time ago, but even now when I hear it, I can't help crying :cry:
On a happier note one of my son's used to sing *Cherish the Love* (Kool and the Gang) to me when he was about 3 years old and when I hear that now, it makes me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy :smile2: . . . he however at 6ft tall and ex Army, doesn't like to be reminded . . . especially in front of his Fiancee :lol2: :P

those of you that no me will know that my musical tastes are as loud and brash as my personality so this may come as a shock but.....
Eva Cassidy, and I know all the purist's will besmirch me cause it is Cyndi Laupers song... but there is just something about this acoustic rendition....... still brings a tear to my eye now
Lying in my bed i hear the clock tick,
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion -
is nothing new
Flashback - warm nights -
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after -
Sometimes you picture me -
I'm walking to far ahead
you're calling to me, I can't hear
what you've said -
Then you say - go slow -
I fall behind -
the second hand unwinds
Chorus
If you're lost you can look - and you will find me
time after time
If you fall I will catch you - I'll be waiting
time after time
After my picture fades a darkness has
turned to gray
watching through windows -
you're wondering if I'm O.K.
secrets stolen from deep inside
the drum beats out of time -
Just realised I offered now explanation of why......... it was played at the funeral of a very good friend, who died at the age of 23 as a result of a motoring accident...
Mines Truly madly Deeply - our song. Don't know why but just is. Just how I feel about him - and I know it's how he fels about me.
And ((((((((hugs))))) to Steph - a beautiful song
Over the years a few songs have touched me for a number of varying reasons, some good, some bad, but they all have a specific special meanings for me.
I leave you with three:
“A Better Man†– Thunder
“Afterglow†– Genesis
“Rumbleseat†- John Cougar Mellencamp – Reminds me of my youth, bopping around, just having a good time without a care in the world
John Cougar Mellencamp! Blast from the past!
He dropped the Cougar didn't he? I think the last time I bought anything of his was about 5 years ago - best hits or something. Think I'll have to rake it out now and give it a spin. Thanks for that!

Is it getting better, or do you feel the same?
Will it make it easier on you, now you got someone to blame?
You say one love, one life, when it's one need in the night.
One love, we get to share it
Leaves you baby if you don't care for it.
Did I disappoint you or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love and you want me to go without.
Well, it's too late tonight to drag the past out into the light.
We're one, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other... one
Have you come here for forgiveness,
Have you come to raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much, more than a lot
You gave me nothing, now it's all I got.
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again.
You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law.
You ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt.
One love, one blood, one life, you got to do what you should.
One life with each other: sisters, brothers.
One life, but we're not the same.
We get to carry each other, carry each other.
One - U2
Still reminds me of the most heartbreaking split up in my life - and hearing this afterwards kind of smoothed the edges, and made me feel better ( if that makes sense!
Rocky horror show - entire thing, just hearing any one of the songs brings back one of most special memories I have
Any one for the Time Warp
or Hot pottutie bless my soul, realy like that rock and roll
or a weakline weighing 96 pounds
So many songs and so many memories. Must be hard for any of us to imagine a life without music, we all have favourites for every emotion i'm sure. My sad one has to be The Scientist by Coldplay. Its about two people, made for each other, but who can't be together for various reasons. It takes me back 3 years when i lost the true love of my life because of outside influences. :cry:
Boys dont cry, by the cure,
i was going through emotional turmoil at the time, and was bottleing everything up.
a very intense and loving relationship had just ended (she was killed in a bike accident), and i was bottling everything up inside. this song helped me let everything go.
even now, when i feel things are a little too much, i can put it on and things just seem to pale into insignificance.
Our song is Amazed by Lonestar & Steve brought me the Westlife song "Flying without wings" when we first met, the soppy old sod got it played for our ''Wedding dance'' too :inlove: :love:
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
When through the sleepy haze I see her lying there
Soft as the rain that falls on summerflowers
Warm as the sunlight shining on her head
When I awake and see her there so close beside me
I want to take her in my arms,
The ache is there so deep inside me
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the morning
Chasing the rainbow in her dreams so far away
And when she turns to touch me I kiss her fingers so softly
And then my Mary wake to love and love again
And Mary's there in summer days or stormy weather
She doesn't care how right or wrong the love we share,
We share together
Nothing's quite as pretty as Mary in the evening
Kissed by the shade of night and starlight in her hair
And as we walk, I hold her close beside me
All our tomorrows for a lifetime we will share
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I just can't help believin'
When she smiles up soft and gentle
With a trace of misty morning
And the promise of tomorrow in her eyes
I just can't help believin'
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sighs
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
Oh, I just can't help believin'
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
As my fingers fold around it like a glove
I just can't help believin'
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love
This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay
For more than just a day
For more than just a day
