and many many more songs I cant think of just now

Memory- from the Cats musical

Gill

all Nat King Cole and Eddie Fisher songs remind me of my lovely OH - all the songs we loved when we were courting - can't listen to Welsh choirs yet as he was a lifetime member of Pendyrus and it's too painful

Penny Lane by the Beatles which was on the go when I was pregnant with my lovely son!!!

Hotel California, by the Eagles, strangely takes me back to when I lived in a small croft house in the Shetland Isles. The boy in the next croft (about 8 years old) hadn't heard stereo before. He used to come in, sit at the table, put a speaker either side of his head and ask for Hotel California to be put on!!

Hope he's not deaf by now - I used to keep it down low.

E17, Stay Another Day reminds me of my neighbours daughters death,xmas 1994.....she was only 18 and our daughter was 3mths old and i remember he saying what a cute smile my daughter had.......later that day she died.


Oasis Don't Look ,Back in Anger.....our daughter had meningitis in 1997....she was almost 3 and used to sing sed song.....whilst she was in hospital i used to hope that one day she'd recover and be able to sing it again........i cried my eyes out when she did........making me well up now thinking of it.


LL Cool J, I Need Love......1987.....just met my other half and her got this record for me......i hated it(still do)and it makes us giggle when we think about it

Yellow Submarine... ...takes me back to college days with my friends in Cardiff.

Roberta Flack's, .. First time ever I saw your face...... and I'm in my friends' flat in Swansea where I first met OH., ...actually he and I were at their wedding , but I didn't take too much notice of him.

Tom Jones singing Delilah was always belting out over the orange groves from distant discoteques when we were newly weds in Cyprus.

Still in Cyprus, - I remember an open-air concert at a Roman amphitheatre and one of the songs was White Rose of Athens. If ever I hear it, ..not often nowadays, I'm right back there in Salamis sitting under the stars.
