Thinking of songs for my funeral took me back to my teenage years when the first love of my life so so cruelly dumped me.


On the radio was Wishing on a Star by Rose Royce. Then Dance the Body Music by Osibisa - the next line is "it will make you happy", cheering me up slightly.


Then in the 6th form common room "Changes" by Black Sabbath.


Later was "Spread your Wings and Fly Away" by Queen.


What was your song/s?

Music doesn't remind me of bad things in a sad way.


Even if I hear music from a difficult time, I remember how much I enjoyed listening to it at the time and how much it cheered me up then.


Although, Faithless Ft. Estelle got me through a very difficult time and holds a special place in my soul. Couldn't NOT dance to it.


Probably didn't title this very well - as much about reminiscing and remembering good times as well as bad! My experience above is very much water under the bridge and not for the older reader Tony Blackburn pleading for Tessa Wyatt to return to him, on live radio. But music does take me back to other times. In fact Music was my first love. And it will be my last. To live without my music Would be impossible to do. In this world of troubles, My music pulls me through.

Patience Red Devil, John Miles was going up the Groovy Fookers thread at the weekend.


Chicago - that is another thread, songs that we smmoched to, which would have been joined by Not in Love by 10cc and for some some strange reason we'd finish with Stairway to Heaven

Smooch I meant.


Great posting by Jah Lush on the groovy fookers thread - Jonathan Richman - That Summer Feeling. Great fan of JR but not familiar with the song, but almost had a tear when I heard it and that certainly talk me back to when I was a teenager in love.

    • Indeed ianr, I didn't have time to include all Royal Mail options, thanks for that extra bit, they have been spot on for me, I use them a lot and have never had any issues with delivery, touch wood!
    • People are switching to electric cars irrespective of fuel prices.  100s of millions that could be spent on hospitals and schools for example have been lost due to fuel duty freezes and a supposedly temporary reduction.  Fuel is relatively cheap at the moment.  With a stonking majority when is it time to rightly take on motorists? Farming, I simply referred to Paul Johnson of the IFS who knows more about the economy that you, I and Truss will ever know. Food?  Au contraire.  It's too cheap, too poor quality and our farmers are squeezed by the supermarkets and unnatural desire to keep it cheap.  A lot less takeaways and more home cooking with decent often home produced, food should benefit most in our society. Be honest you do t like Labour. 
    • In fact there was a promotional leaflet came through the letter box today, for sending by RM's parcel post by buying online.  There are also options mentioned for having the labels printed  at a Collect+ store or at a Parcel Locker.  More info at https://www.royalmail.com/.
    • Is it? Let's see  Farming is a tough gig with increasingly lower returns, if farms have to sell off land to pay inheritance tax it will reduce their ability to survive. Which in real terms could mean more farm land lost and more reliance on imported food which sees money flowing out, not in to the country.  But I guess as long as you get cheap food that doesn't concern you 😉  Lol "what about the cars"  again Mal... like a broken record....  Governments know that squeezing car drivers for more fuel duty will drive down income from taxes as people switch to electric, which would leave them with a black hole in income. Guess the fuel duty is a fine balancing act tiĺl enough electric cars have been sold to raise tax revenue from their use.
