Mind the cobwebs...
 ...I had a thought the other day...No, stop applauding, I know it's a rare thing... But this thought was one following the hearing of a certain song... I'm sure we've all got songs that take us straight back to certain places, times, people, events etc...So, the thought was this... Here's a thread where we post the songs, and - maybe - tell the story behind the song that makes it special for us...In few words or many, is fine... Or not...As you wish... ...Song + Event = Nostalgia... Oh, if you have many...Eak them out...One at a time...Maybe?... ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stone Roses - Fools Gold... This song was played everywhere around the time it came out...Especially the pubs around the village where I lived...There was three btw...We were quite well stocked for pubs, I have to admit...Then again, there was also a big church, so that might explain it... Aaaamywho, this was all around 1990 and the time I started visiting said establishments with my chums...And Fools Gold seemed to be on the jukebox all the time... Yes, if you do the maths, I was actually, technically too young to go in them...But, despite knowing my Dad, very well...  ...I was still served with no problem... ...What?...How old?...Um...  ...16-17...  ... ...This post has been edited by McBadgere: May 16 2014, 01:19 PM |

Let's see...
There's Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. It was from back when I was in high school... and the marching band could do a rendition that would make you want to get up and just... move. The entire Machine Head album is quite good, for those of us who recall when "heavy metal" meant actual musicianship... (OK- that comment places the seal on my old foggiedom). And then for a change of pace, Hearts of Stone Southside Johnny and the Asbury Jukes. The guitar work is poignant and just... weeps. And I can only listen to the whole song when I am properly in the mood. A number of Tom Waits songs... anything from Burma Shave to Shiver Me Timbers to The Heart of Saturday Night. "Your arm around your sweet one in your Oldsmobile" Indeed. Considering that when I was first dating seriously, I drove a 1975 Cutlass.... -------------------- The dreams down here aren't broken, nah, they're walkin' with a limp...
