    Default What Song and Why?

    One of my most FAVOURITE songs is Champagne Supernova by Oasis. It is because it was sung to me by a gorgeous lad on a Monday night in front of everyone one in a pub where I worked (when I was about 25)...he did it to 'wooo' me - it totally worked lol

    What song bring backs happy memories for you?

    p.s. he had a really good voice too

    'When the doves cry' by Prince. Used to love Prince and my bf at the time was gorgeous and used to sing this to me! Why is when you get older you don't get excited about things like that anymore?

    Stairway to Heaven, my life's anthem.

    Doobie Brothers - Listen to the Music - just because it always makes me feel happy.

    If you're going to San Francisco, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair...cos my husband sings it to me.

    Anything by Pink Floyd makes the back of my neck tingle with happy memories of student days - I really wish I'd seen them live.

    I love my musicals as well I think my favourite song is one that Michael Ball sings from Les Miserables...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJnjcX8skXk

    I love this one from the film 'Working Girl'. It makes me feel positive every time I listen to it...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv-0mmVnxPA

    I love Queen songs - who wants to live forever with a background of Highlander always makes me smile or cry depending on my mood.

    Oh and Dire Straits 'Telegraph Road' gets me every time - and I did see them live waaaay back in 1984!!

    Rod stewart - 'you're in my heart, you're in my soul' and 'when I need you' - when dh and I first started dating, he was on the road a lot and the latter song was appropriate. The first was our first song at wedding.

    I also love Chamapagne Supernova and dont look banck in anger from Oasis, reminds me of dh and I early days.

    'Dizzy' mine and best mates song from the 90's.

    'Sit down' by James. - it was everyones fave at school. A girl in our year died of Toxic shock syndrome and it was played at her funeral and our leaving disco - not a dry eye in the house at either.

    Its funny how much a song can bring back so many memories!

    True by Spandau Ballet and More Than This by Brian Ferry, they remind me of being young free and single. Also slow dancing at night clubs

    Stereophonics - handbags and gladrags. Just love hearing Kelly Jones singing this. My best 'me' time is working at my allotment with this playing on my ipod and I hate it if anyone tries to talk to me when this track is on!!
    Wet Wet Wet - Love is all around, Wishing Well, tracks for the 'me' time. Marti Pellow sings so well on these
    Also like quite a few Bryan Ferry/Roxy Music songs - been a fan for longer than I care to remember.
