Westlife "Unbreakable" and Daniel Beddingfield "If You're Not The One".

Both of these songs remind me of my ex boyfriend, and the former was our special song. Both beautiful songs in a short beautiful relationship.

Jennifer Rush - "The Power of Love"

My all-time favourite song also reminds me of my Nan who died last year who adored this song, and it was played at her funeral service.


BBMak - Back Here

Reminds me of the last few months in Year 11 at school, where apart from revising and studying I had LOADS of cool fun with my school friends.

Interesting topic!

The Best by Tina Turner remind me of my Nan's funeral as it was her favourite song.

Mysterious Girl by Peter Andre reminds me of our residential trip to the countryside in the last year of primary school.

Music by Madonna reminds me off being at the swimming baths in 2000 and some young kids were singing it, and also driving up to Scarborough on holiday in the same year, it was always on Radio 1.

Romeo by Basement Jaxx reminds me of my GCSEs, it was my favourite song at the time and I had such a good summer that year!

Waiting For Tonight by Jennifer Lopez reminds me of the Millennium, especially the video as it was always on throughout Christmas and New Year 1999, and I played it just after midnight!

Space - Neighbourhood
You should see my street, I have the wierdest neighbours in the world, we have annoyin kids, dealers and a shop that gets robbed every other week.

Baz Luhmann - Everybodys free (to wear sunscreen)
This song reminds me of my old English teacher Mr Wright, he used to ramble on about anything.

Bluetones - Slight Return
This song reminds me of when my friend had a argument with his parents and ran away from home, and stayed at my house for about 5 hours then went home.

Soundgarden - Spoonman
There was a few of us round my mates house and they were fun fighting basically and i found 2 spoons laid around so I gave them both a spoon and they had a spoon fight. It ended with chunks missing in the plaster on the wall, so we ended up trying to colour the white bits in the blue wall with felt tip pens.

I don't really have a lot of memories, but songs often remind me of stuff that I should be doing or should have done.

I guess I could name a few.

Radiohead - 'Just'
Reminds me of the day I realised nothing matters (in a good way.)

Anything by The Corrs
Reminds me of a girl I knew when I was 15 or so - it's the voice, the way it occasionally goes squeaky and a bit scratchy. (I can't bear to listen to The Corrs - I think you can deduce from that how the situation ended.)

The All-American Rejects - 'Swing, Swing'
Reminds me of last summer... that song really did my head in for a while, although I'm not entirely sure why.
This post is highly unlikely to be serious. Please treat it accordingly. Unless it's music-related, in which case I'm damn well right.

Hero ~ Mariah Carey

I didn't have a very happy childhood and I used to listen to this alot to help me cope with the hard times.

Regulate ~ Warren G & What's my name ~ Snoop Doggy Dogg

Reminds me when I was in high school when I went through a mad rap phase.

Chains ~ Tina Arena

Reminds me of when my life started to get better. A better song couldn't have came out. I swear I thought she wrote it for me. As corny as that sounds. :lol:
I'll be the bitch tonight (I'll show you bitch - bitch!)
Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented, Cool, Honey.

I should ass:

Bis - Am I loud enough

When I found out it was my last day before school before exams and I ran up the empty coridor alone singing This is the last time that I say my name, I've made mistakes but I am not ashamed, Now Am I loud enough to hear my name

It really reminded me of the notion that school would end forever and that hate I had fading fast.

hmmm that's a great topic...
phew! there are so many songs i relate to memories in my 23 years of life... i'm a very musical person, so there's a song for each and every moment in my life, i can relate a song to *any* moment in my life, by insignificant it can seem, but it's true. some of these moments:

- The Christians "Words"
Driving back home from my grandma's in Barcelona when i was a kind, in the car with my parents and sis. that song brings me to my childhood. that's weird, but true. Another of these is "Wonderful life" by Black

- Michael Jackson "Heal the World"
I looooooved Dangerous. It's one of my first CDs and i was delighted by aaaaall the things MJ did. I spent hours listening to B&W, Heal, remember the time.... this feeling has faded away with the years. another big memory related to MJ was his collabo with Babyface "on the line".

- Lauren Wood "Fallen"
One of the first songs i played on the radio when i started off in 1993. it was a vinyl, so it was always accompained with the dusty sound of the LPs... simply hillarious.

- Mariah Carey "Fantasy"
She was *my* fantasy. my first music love, mariah. that was a summer on the beach. this song was on aaaall the time.

- Whitney Houston & CeCe Winans "Count on me"
Although she's almost over, Whitney is one of the few voices i consider really emotional, one of the few that move me by just singing a song. still, soooo many of her songs make me feel emotional: saving all my love, exhale, one of those days, didn't we almost, why does it hurt, but especially count on me. it's *our* song. we started out as friends, and now we can't live without each other.

- Annie Lennox - "Love song for a vampire"Dracula (by FFCoppola) really freaked me out. ever since i watch all the films about vampires. this song takes my breath away everytime i listen to it, it reflects Dracula's feelings... in fact, any Annie Lennox song takes my breath away: No more I love you's, waiting in vain, something so right....

- Eternal - "Angel of Mine"
Any Eternal song brings me to the high school days, but especially Angel; it's the reason why i became crazy about these girls, but foremost, why i fell for Easther Bennett.

- Daft Punk - "One more time"
Craaaaaaaaazy nights in the beach parties in Lloret. phew!

- Aaliyah - "Rock the boat"
On the beach in Lahaina, Hawaii, dec. 2002. That freaked me out too, i was there resting, lying in the sun, floating in that hawaiian vibe you get on those dreamy beaches, and this song starts to sound in my CD. i'll always have a kind memory towards this girl.

- Norah Jones - "Come away with me"
Romantic nights in Barcelona. this song just blooooows me away.

let's give it up... i could tell a hundred more. anyway. ciao!!
