somewhere

Not sex related but just a song that brings back an amazing memory or time of your life

Was in buying a coffee today in a petrol station and The Police "wrapped around your finger" was playing

Instantly transported back to 83 when I was camping on my own in Castlegregory Co Kerry for 2 weeks

Best holiday ....best time of my life ...

What song does it for you

Elton John & Dua lipa”cold heart..

Resonates hard with me, after a separation with kids,especially the part with “I’m not the man they think I am at home”

Even though I done nothing wrong, was just about how my kids might feel about me not being there everyday. Tough feelings!

Men at work - down under.

The summer of 1983, a small local hall on the shores of Lough Allen and a disco organised by the local branch of Macra na Feirme. It was the most mental night's craic I've ever experienced in my life.

Of all the songs that I could cite here, Downtown by Petula Clark from 1964 is by far the hit record that reminds me of an important phase in my life

Somewhere in Co. Down

Stilskin - inside.

Cranberries - zombie.

I think it was around 1994 and they were 2 of songs we always had on when a group of us were spinning around just having the best time,heading to beach parties and going anywhere where there was a band playing we wanted to see.Life seemed so much carefree and easier then and I definitely had a lot more energy than I do now.There was no issue staying up all night and heading to work the next morning back then.

"Complete Control" by The Clash - saw them at Queen's Uni in November '77 and got totally turned on by New Wave/Punk to the extent of looking after a band and touring with Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, U2, Dexys. It only lasted for a couple of years but it was a great time in my life.

Bruce Springsteen & The E street band Born to run it's a classic and whenever i first heard the late great Clarence Clemons saxophone solo during the middle of the song i was hooked straight away.
