peter gabrial  sledgehammer still sounds fab even now!

chantal kreviazuk     ghosts of you, slow and haunting great to listen too whilst reflecting on failed relationships, moreso if deep down you still miss some of them but cant quite admit it to youself.

For me, tunes are like photographs....they all hold memories. Some I like to recall, some I choose not to, but if I have to;   'I'll take you home again Kathleen' - my Dad used to sing (well try to) at every family boozy party.   'Don't you forget about me' - memories of my friend Sam and some fab times we shared together.   'You're so vain' - my 1st attempt at karaoki   Riding High by Sassafras....fab memories of my youth and the Brum rock scene.   I could go on and on....Mmmmm

Starlight by Muse, 

This one is for you Ali on your birthday, miss you so much and love you more than words can say, just wish you was here now to listen to it with me and enjoy our song together                                                                                                                                                                             

well befor this one dies, i thought i might just as well post something hear.......so it has to be

duran durans'     ordinary world(from the 'wedding album')

i always loved this song, but sadly after my ex and i split, it became a sad metaphore for how things had changed,( you know devorce, struggle to stay at focused, whilste everything(appears) to fall down around you, the battle to keep composure, and just to  lead a normal daily existance) but sadly i have'nt listened to it once in the past four years, but i heard it on the radio today, and you know what- it was a relief, hearing it after so long  made me realise just how far i have come in the last few years......its great!

Nickleback - Remind me ......................... memories of my mate Sue come flooding back who lost her battle with cancer 9 years ........ :)                                                                                                                                                                               

Apologies for resurrecting this one, but hey, I'm a newbie, I'll get away with it   A few people mentioned this one already, but for me, the definitive version of "First time I saw your face" has to be by the Stereophonics. No video, but here's a linkie for their version http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCaqZ-tbf5A   Another two songs, this time by White Lion that nail me every time are "You're all I need" and "Til death do us part"   Guess I'm a big jessie for it, but you can't beat a good power ballad to tug at the old heartstrings eh.                                                                                                                                                                             

OK, this selection might be a bit unusual, but that's me I guess,

Watermelons in easter haze - Frank zappa
Throw your arms around me - Hunters & collectors
Sunny side of the Street - Dizzy Guilespie
Gloomy Sumday - Mel Torme
So What - Miles Davis

Here's a few from a very very long list:

Needle & the Damage Done - Neil Young
Commando - The Ramones
Next - Sensational Alex Harvey Band
Looking for a Kiss - New York Dolls
Rock and Roll Nigger - Patti Smith
Lust For Life - Iggy Pop
Aint Got No/I Got Life - Nina Simone
Rat Tomago - Frank Zappa
Lush Life - Ella Fitzgerald
Small Axe - Bob Marley
Superstition - Stevie Wonder
Protection - Massive Attack
Bright Side Of The Road - Van Morrison
Gypsy Eyes - Jimi Hendrix

...I'll stop there                                                                                                                                                                              

hey minnie, Solid Air- John Martyn ( the best )   shine on you crazy diamond, pink floyd,   everyone knows someone like this and usually they aint around anymore , and this is the day to remember them as well, im off to have my minute silence                                                                                                                                                                             

Travis .... from The Man Who ........Turn ...played at my sons funeral ! was his song at the time ! Bless you babe ...never forgotten  x
                                                                                                                                                                             

sorry meant to add this poem by Bruce B Wilmer ....... The world would like to change you , there are pressures all around , you must decide just who you are then firmly stand your ground. You have an image of yourself, an ideal sense of you, and to this vision you must always, struggle to be true .You know what you are good at and where your talents lie,but if your ruled by others, your uniqueness could pass by. Remember , there is much to learn but all new things aren't good , wisdom lies in what you learned and what you have withstood. So be yourself and don't allow the world to take control  preserving your identity ..... is life's most precious goal !  in memory of my son .....it's been  9yrs now ! bless you x

roberta flack, the first time ever...

always considered that song to be related to devine intervention
                                                                                                                                                                             

How about "Love hurts" by Nazareth. truely the most moving song, sung with real passion and reflects where I have been too many times before.

Sad ol git!!!
                                                                                                                                                                             

I couldn't agree more WJ..a classic song, one of my favourites
