Ocean Drive -Lighthouse Family.
The song was about when my Daughter was born. It has the line ‘Sun's gonna shine on everything you do’ which when I first saw her made perfect sense. |

Some of the more popular songs reqleased/played on the radio early 2015 as it reminds me of last time my dad was alive before we knew he was sick I was getting the house I currently live in ready to move in and he was happier than anyone I’d bought it as would be living near him again and would call up every day I was there working on it. Had a small radio and all the songs they played then when I hear now makes me think of that time |

Stereophonics Dakota is a special song for me, my sons favourite, he would have it on loop during his GCSE's
And being Welsh girl, listening to them play that track live, in Wales the day after Wales beat Belgium was a very special moment, and I was stood with my boy, that was a truly happy moment |

Pocketful of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield because it was stuck in my head the whole day when playing my first cricket match for the men's team. Worked well though because I got 4 wickets  |

Aaah the Cardiacs.
R.E.S. is my fave by them.
The Voice or Sleepwalk by Ultravox are two amongst many many many songs that take me back to a happy time.

Talk talk.. Its my life... It was the night before live aid... A balmy sweaty evening at a house party at Enfield cemetery lodge. ... Beer had been d*unk... I'd been dancing with the sexiest minx at the party, fingering while we danced (which back then was a lottery win), thought I was on a certainty.... Went to find somewhere to consummate our love.. (which wasn't easy as we were in the middle of a cemetery).. When I returned she'd gone...
Whenever I hear that song takes me back to that crushing disappointment |

There are so many tunes that bring back so many memories...good, bad and emotional..Radiohead just blow my mind completely especially 'In Rainbows' album, I've seen them a few times and I've just melted there and then. |

quite close to you |
So many; and usually by bands that I don’t have much of keenness for:
‘Waterfall’ - Happy Mondays, Summer ‘92 just a day spent with friends with a Sony Walkman, some tapes, Merrydown cider and some red Alba portable speakers
‘Earth Boots’ - Galliano
‘U know what’s up’ - Donnell Jones
‘Cosmic Girl’ - Jamiroquai
‘Mysterious Ways’ - U2 and ‘Something’s got me started’ - Simply Red : this was the year I got my first hand job, blow job and lost my virginity while these two songs played at a birthday party …it all happened in the space on both these songs. And I hate both these bands |

The Cardiacs in the pub? My local needs to take note. What a band 
For me it’s The Wonder Stuff - Unbearable and The Bluetones - Marblehead Johnson. Both transport me back to long hot summers with my favourite chap of the time and singing at the top of our lungs just because we could. |

That is a lot of information right there! I love how music and seal a moment in time and reignite a memory. You posting a Donel track reminded me of leaving my husband.
"Where I wanna be" was the song back then. |

"Imitation of Life by REM, reminds me of being 17, starting college and being optimistic about the future"
Are you still optimistic or did you listen to "losing my religion" and take a different turn? |

"Pictures of you by the cure.

"White stripes - seven nation army  "
Love the white stripes anyway but this song was taught to a bunch of my school kids at "Rock club" and they were singing it for months. We would have spontaneous "Dern Dern Dern Dern Dern Dern Derns" throughout the day!

There’s loads, but The Power of Love by Frankie Goes To Hollywood, was plying one day as I was feeding my newly born daughter.
It stuck and although my eyes moisten when I hear it, it’s happy moisture. |

I think it's more to do with everything being new and exciting as well as the opening possibilities of adulthood as your world suddenly gets much bigger |

There used to be "all dayers" at the Sir George Robey pub in Finsbury Park that would have that kind of line up on their bill. I can mentally see the poaters |
