have you a special song that can whisk you back over the years to a certain place or person,? you dont hear it for ages,then it comes over the radio and you are transferred back to yesteryear.

old forgoten faces turn up, the ex boy friend/girl friend, friends who have passed on, moved away,wonder where they are now? all because of one certain tune or song

"Walk On By" sung by Dionne Warwick. It was a hit record when I was a lad of sixteen and on holiday in New York. Whenever I hear that song, I am reminded of that wonderful holiday.

oh yes......got to be Careless Whisper...all those tongue sarnies of yester year....no wonder I got Glandular fever!!!

Klactovesedstein by Blue Rondo ala Turk
Odd I know but takes me back to the first holiday I had without my parents.Me and a friend went to Skeggy ,stayed in my Grandads 4 berth caravan and had the best time ever especially in the nightclub on the front.
Lost a lot that holiday
:wink:

VIENNA. ULTRAVOX.
Dinnington. Snow. Winter. Roaming round Manor Road & breck lane with Chaz, Mark & Craigy. Frozzen. Going to Marks house to warm up & him playing the 7" over & over cos it was the only new record he'd got.

Journey: ESCAPE; The Album...

:blush: I was 16 :blush: :blush: I'll leave it at that! :D :thumbsup:

The year this song was released i'd met someone who was in a very bad place emotionally and was running on empty. The line 'I want to repair your desire' was so approproate. In fact the whole song said something about our situations and it seemed that both of us needed to 'take a left, a shap left, and another left..... the time was right for both of us to 'start again.'

Once Around The Block

You quiver like a candle on fire
I'm putting you out
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout
But I'm fascinated by your style
Your beauty will last for a while

You're feeling instead of being
The more that I live on the inside
There's nothing to give
I'm infatuated by your moves
I'm got to search out for your clues

I want to repair your desire
And call it a gift that I stole from
just wanting to live
Now I see the vision through your eyes
Your innocence no longer fuels surprise

Trying to outrun your fear
Your running to lose, heart on your sleeve
And your soul in your shoes
Take a left, a sharp left
And another left, meet me on the corner
And we'll start again


Talk about music theorpy!!! I can't hear it without thinking what we almost had and the flame that, for a short while, burned too brightly.

There is a BareNakedLadies song called "If I Had a Million Dollars" which I LOVE, it really takes me back to when I first met my boyfriend, we were best mates back then. If anyone knows the song they'll know what I mean :) Read the lyrics here: http://music.donyell.net/barenaked_ladies_lyrics.htm

I would really suggest this song to anyone wanting to romance someone in a really cute way, since its not slushy at all and the lyrics are so sweet.

Pearl Jams 'Elderly Woman Behind.....' reminds me of being 14 absolutely ****faced on our weekly parties.

No Doubt - Don't Speak

things weren't working out with my ex and we were falling apart, the lyrics were so appropriate to how we used to be best friends as well as lovers and then it started to fall apart between us, so whenever I hear it, it takes me back to that very sad time.

I have songs that remind me of certain times of my life, but then certain tracks REALLY take you back, you've probably only ever heard them a handful of times since you were little.

My brother was into all the prog rock stuff and things like Tubular Bells, Yes, Pink Floyd etc all take me back to me being about 5 years old, him with his music on full blast while he was practicing his bass. I know Pink Floyd are still popular, but they're not a band I've really heard since.

No specific memories as such, just of being young and carefree.

You just remind me of Sunday lunchtimes, my mum would put Roy Orbison on while she was getting the lunch ready, and every time i hear the Big O, I can practically smell the roast pork and yorkshire puddings she used to cook.

I can remember being really young, probably around 4 or 5 and my mum blasting out Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. My mum, also a glaswegian, who had lived on a "Baker Street" when she was a kid, loved the tune and for a while it always seemed to be playing in our house. It always takes me back :)

Another is Dionne Warwick's Heartbreaker, I was a bit older but it always reminds me of the Terry Wogan breakfast show on the radio, my mum getting us up for school, tea and toast for breakfast and it being all cosy in the livingroom but cold and dark and windy outside :)

LOL :D

'Everytime you touch me' by Moby reminds me of a caravan trip to Wales when i was 16 (4 girls and 4 boys) ... would like to add however it has no relavence to being touched lol.
And 'think about me' by Artful Dodger hits me like a brick everytime i hear it, reminds me of a holiday to greece 4 yrs ago with my best friend.. i remember hearing it by the pool, in this incredible 5 star hotel thinking there is nowhere on earth i would rather be then here right now, i don't have that feeling often.
Oh my thinking of it there are far to many to mention.. think i will have to compile a soundtrack of my life (for me obviously i don't want to bore everyone else with it lol).

This is something else I thought that I had imagined in my youth... When I have mentioned it before, people always look at me strangely, because its not the same chilled out Moby we know from today... It is the same person, right? :confused:

By my reckoning, the song she's talking about would have been about 1995??

He had a single out in 1990 called "Go" (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Are you thinking of that one? He's been on the go (pardon the pun) for yonks.

No, it was most definately called "Everytime you touch me", and it was out around 1995 and it was great to dance around too.

Oh Halcyon days in the Flagship in Blackpool at 16 drunk on Malibu and coke...

No its deffinatly that i just checked the album.. it was Moby in his happy hardcore days, 'set it up DJ' and all that!

The song 'Yesterday' by the Beatles takes me back to sitting on the lawn with the neighbour's kids when I was a child.

Supertramp's 'Logical Song' takes me back to a party when I was in my teens. I can't remember why....the other thing I remember is that the album lyrics insert was printed on really nice smelling paper.

Karma Chameleon - sitting in a coffee bar waiting for a bus when I was trying to get home in a hurry when my aunt was seriously ill.

Todd Rundgren's 'Can we still be friends' reminds me of a mix tape I put together for the car in the early 1990s, when I worked at Lodge Moor hospital a lot. I remember distinctly scooting up there from Walkley via a very steep hill!

Doh! Sorry!

I thought of another one - ABC's "All of my Heart" reminds me of being at Kelham Island with my Mum, about 10 years old, eating a bag of cheese and onion crisps and being the happiest bunny in the world cos I wasn't stuck in the house! Easily pleased, me, you know...

'4 Non-Blondes - What's Going On' reminds me of my first kiss with my first (and only!) girlfriend; she was really into the song, and kept asking for it to be played in the pub we were in.

'H and Claire - DJ' reminds me of being on a hen-night in Leeds and being really drunk while dancing on a revolving dancefloor.

'Cher - Believe' takes me to the nights I used to spend in the Planet; in those days it seemed like they only had one record! :D

'Mammas and Papas - Deam a Little Dream of me' takes me to a night I had a row with my then boyfriend; I had had a row with him about something trivial, and went home in a taxi. I got a call from him, and sent it to mailbox. By the time I got home, I was feeling a little bit guilty and sad and listened to my message. He hadn't spoken; he just played the song down the phone to me.

Needless to say he was forgiven by morning! ;)

ah bless.....:hihi:
