There are many patriotic songs that can move millions, but one that makes me wish I was part of a group is "I am Australian" by The Seekers. U-tube it and listen to the words. Maybe in reality it is just a song and perhaps their society is not like that, but I wish it was my song  Judith Durham has one of the best voices of any female singer and when she starts to sing after the first verse... WOW! |

We played at the funerals of my mom and dad and sisters recently.
Its sung brilliantly by a lady who also had a very short life.  |

Dance with my Father again by Luther Vandross.....particularly on this day as my dad was gravely injured on foreign shores serving his country, when I was a small girl.
He never did recover from his injuries and died back here in the UK.
Because of the unit he served with I never really saw or knew him that well.
Gets me every time I hear it played. |

"Nimrod by Elgar....just reminds me of all the suffering and losses in war,probably because i have heard it played in that context at the cenataph every year of my life."
Actually yes, Nimrod is also close to me through my association with the Forces.

hoobastank the reason
I'm not a perfect person
There's many things I wish I didn't do
But I continue learning
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I'm sorry that I hurt you
It's something I must live with every day
And all the pain I put you through
I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you [x4]
I'm not a perfect person
I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go
That I just want you to know
I've found a reason for me
To change who I used to be
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show
A side of me you didn't know
A reason for all that I do
And the reason is you

My First, My Last, My Everything - Barry White
Witchcraft - Frank Sinatra
Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Andy Williams
That's All - Rod Stewart's version
All of them remind me of a special someone who provided the much needed firework in my life and touched my heart. It is just over 2 years ago since he died, and I miss him dearly. |

Thank you!
I avoid listening to these songs this time of the year, as I could end up crying buckets! Hey ho, onward and upward they say.  |
