Its funny you should say ...
Most songs remind me of something or other, either a time place or just good memories. Can't be specific about any as such as mostly it's just trivial stuff..
One that always makes me laugh though is the Pogues song, '' you scumbag you maggot you cheap lousy faggott happy christmas I hope its your last'' yeah that one. I always say to Ju they are playing 'Our song' lol......

Songs that mean something to me…
Ronan Keating – If tomorrow never comes… was in the charts at the time that I received some horrible news that meant that I had to warn my children that I may not live longer than a couple of months. As you are reading this you know that the Drs’ got it wrong.
Anything by Guns ‘n’ roses/ iron maiden/Def Leppard. These bands were the soundtrack for my “teenage angst” years, also my years serving queen and country in the Army.
Eva Cassidy – somewhere over the rainbow… when planning my funeral I decided that the aim of having songs at a funeral was to make people weep so, along with Ronan Keating, I thought that this would do the job. I even wrote out the eulogy that I wanted one of my bezzie mates to read. (controlling to the bitter end) I don’t know how relevant it will be when I die at 120 years old.
Bette Midler- Wind beneath my wings. I used to say that if I loved anyone enough to sing them such a beautiful sincere love song then I knew it would last forever. Needless to say no-one has had the (dubious) pleasure of hearing me sing that to them … :lol2:
Make your own kind of music, Mama cass. Played to me by one of my bezzie mates when I was sacked from a job because they found out my sexuality. Perhaps they thought I would taint the rest of the (male) workforce?
Affirmation – savage garden. Just a song I like when nothing else is making sense.
When I see you Smile- bad English- a song for an ex
Nickleback- How you remind me. A song that I sing in duet with a friend to make us laugh. (although the song is not funny)
Leann Rhimes- How do I live. The only song I have ever sung at karaoke. It makes me laugh when I remember how terrified I was.
Anything by Kenny Rogers. Going on family trips and my mum and dad would be sat in the front singing along to it.
Elton John- anything. He has the perfect song for every moment in my life good and bad.
Enrique Iglesias- Hero. Sent to me by someone whose heart I had broken.
Crowded House- introduced to this band by a boss who I ended up having an affair with for 8 months. (flame me if you have read this far)
Razorlight, Snow Patrol, The darkness, Damien Rice, Artic monkeys, The Killers, Massive Attack, Scissor Sisters, The Kaizer Chiefs. All of these artists are the soundtrack for the last year when I have been single and rediscovering my likes/dislikes and enjoying my independence.
The most recent poignant one for me is 'no Worries 'by Simon Webbe especially the lyrics:
I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little better
Moving on the darkest day
I just know your life's gonna change
Gonna get a little further
Right up until the feeling fades...
Cuz you think that you've been here
Just treading water
Waiting in the wings for the show to begin
But I always see you searching
And you try that bit harder
Getting closer, oh yeah
To the life you're imagining
