Songs that mean something to you

No.1 on my 18th birthday.

I heard too much of that song. Coming from Hull at the time, it was played a LOT on local radio, school discos etc. Still skip it most of the time when I’ve got Housemartins albums on in the car.

This one I listened to a lot when my best mate’s little sister was killed crossing the road. No good memories associated but it’s like an old friend.

Shipbuiding by Robert Wyatt
Was listening to it when I found out a friend had drowned.

Bob Dylan – Lay Lady Lay.

Mucky memories, still makes me smile whenever I hear it, I occasionally bump into the woman in question and it pops into my head. It’s like her theme music.

popping my cherry with this in the background

Pretty much anything by JLS

playing on my ipod when me and GF finally sorted ourselves out.

The words mean everything to me about someone.

If you’re not running in circles as fast as you can you can go home.

Prodigy – Smack my bitch up

1978
Aged 5.
Just moved to England.
Back of my dads car driving from Ambleside to Elterwater..

Childhood by the chamleons. Makes me cry still and I don’t know why. Very emotive track.

Elbow – One day like this. Great song to fall head over heels to.

Seeing them on the 15th, sadly without the girl. Pants !

Mark Cohen, True Companion

Was our first dance when we wed, it’s about growing old together, we still love it but much more poignant since my tumour was diagnosed.

Nothing Else Matters – Metallica. Be yourself and nothing else matters. I like that idea

At a distance planet a period of happy, stress free, carefree wonderful year … recalling makes me sad so that is the last album I bought…

The summer I was 15 A glorious summer

Soppy one – it will always be me and t’missus song

A wonderful day lying under cherry blossom having a picnic in the park

Reminds me of the one that got away sadly 🙁

Bob Dylan – Lay Lady Lay.

Mucky memories, still makes me smile whenever I hear it, I occasionally bump into the woman in question and it pops into my head. It’s like her theme music.

We had the Magnet cover of this for our wedding thingy, it was ace 🙂

The first song I remember being played on our cassette player when we first got our cavalier GLS in 1981, I was 5.

You’ve Got A Friend (the James Taylor version)

Primal Scream – Come Together.
A New Year in Edinburgh with amazing mates, when I was 25 and ‘in my pomp’, great banter and laughs…just had a great year working as outdoor instructor teaching kids, had met a lot of great mates and a lot of lovely ladies, and I didn’t know it but I was just two weeks away from meeting my dream girl, who I’m now married to, with two kids.
Half way through the night this came on the jukebox, and I’d never heard it, and it just blew me away and summed up how great life was, and i still love it now for how great life is. favourite ever song…

Tick tock….
