Just like the well known Radio 4 show, but a little different.
I want to know what album/song means the most to you and why.
I'll start...
Noah & The Whale - The First Days Of Spring
My partner left me two years ago. Completely out of the blue. This album is about Charlie Fink's own break up with Laura Marling and it's a work of art. Anyone going through a break up, I highly recommend it! It gave me that tiny bit of hope when I was close to hopelessness.
Your turn. Goooooo... |

Blood on the tracks - Bob Dylan
Shelter from the storm was the first song I was conscious of as my father used to play it and sing along.
Simple twist of fate was the song that was woven into a love affair.
Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts reminds me of a particular road trip when travelling China.
Actually so many memories surrounding this album and it's songs through many stages of my life. |

Fast car by Tracy Chapman.
It's the first song I really remember hearing and actually taking in. It always reminds me of my mother. She played it loads when I was young and still does.
Its been a light for me. In the darkest parts of my life I can listen to that song and it makes me feel home, warmth and unconditional love.
I need to go phone my mom. |

If - Bread. I sang it while playing my guitar on the slopes of the Great Orme to a young woman I'd just recently met. She, many years later, became my wife  |

Elvis Presley - The Wonder Of You
Makes me remember my Dad (passed away when I was 11) singing it to Mum. A treasured memory!
Frank Sinatra - Strangers In The Night
I used to sing it to Scarlett whenever she was upset with me. I'd slip my arms around her waist from behind and sing it gently in her ear. It would always make her laugh eventually, which in turn made her forgive me, which in turn led to great sex!
I must start singing it to her again lol

The first festival I worked on a main stage a band played, I'd heard a couple of tunes I knew but then they started into this track..It's not a great track lyrical wise....However.... As soon as Laura blew the low rider riff on the trumpet the crowd started to bounce.. I looked out and a feeling just swathed over me.. I had to work in this business..I now do... This track is summer to me every time I hear it... And Sunday night in the woodland at Bearded is going to be magical...

Oh that's a tough one and so many I could name but for me it would have to be the extended version of the album The Liberty Of Norton Folgate by Madness.
Having followed them for 30+ years when it was released this album was the one that finally got them the critical acclaim and recognition they had deserved (IMHO) for so many years and really is for me anyway their magnum opus (the 9 minute 42 second title track alone proving they are so much more than those whacky blokes that wrote catchy singles and made funny videos back in the 80s).
I was also lucky enough to go to the album's launch party in London where the band performed a gig to a small audience of less than 200 people, so it will always hold a special place for me. |

Despite owning so many albums and songs and playlists etc there aren't really any except for one. There are songs that can make me cry but just because they are emotional and not linked to one event/person.
When my daughter was born we took lots of videos throughout her first year.
As it came up to her birthday I took these and cobbled together a single DVD starting with the suitcases by the door ready to go to the hospital and ending with her birthday - to give to family.
I needed some music to fade in at the beginning and at that point of the video we had no idea she was even a she.
After searching around, I hit upon Michael Buble 'Just haven't met you yet' and it fitted perfectly. So I added it in and it worked.
So despite my prog rock and metal leanings, the one song I'd take would be that one.
"And I promise you kid that I'll give so much more than I get.
I just haven't met you yet" |

So I Thought by Flyleaf. It was playing in the background when I put some horrible events into words for the first time and begun to heal. |
