Music can create feelings, memories, emotions, remind you of someone/something or just a specific time or moment in your life. So I'm gonna start the sound track to my life!!! (In no particular order and will add to it as I go)

Red hot chilli peppers - under the bridge

I was 13... I think! (1991) very impressionable.
This song reminds me of sitting on a bench in Chumleigh, smoking & listening to some older girls singing the lyrics to this song and thinking where have they heard this song or is it something they have made up together!!
We used to do random things like make up songs! it was so fucking boring in the middle of no where, the only things we had to do was smoke, drink (mainly cider) and sing random songs... oh and a little bit of the obvious things that teenagers do ;-)
The acoustic version is the way (as I remember) we used to do it after a few cider's.

Red hot chilli peppers - under the bridge

Purple Rain-Prince

An obvious choice really... how predictable of me!


Madonna 'stay' b side to 'like a virgin'

I actually liked this better than 'like a virgin' it sounds really funny now listening back to it.
Something I haven't done since I was about 10 tho! I used to listen to it on a 45!!

"Bob Marley played his final concert at the Stanley Theater in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on September 23, 1980. The live version of "Redemption Song" on Songs of Freedom was recorded at this show. Marley afterwards sought medical help from Munich specialist Josef Issels, but his cancer had already progressed to the terminal stage. While flying home from Germany to Jamaica for his final days, Marley became ill, and landed in Miami for immediate medical attention. He died at Cedars of Lebanon Hospital in Miami, Florida on the morning of May 11, 1981 at the age of 36.

For you ~ Tracy Chapman
I try to say Therere no words to say
No words to convey
This feeling inside I have for you
Deep in my heart
Save from the guards
Of intellect and reason
Leaving me at a loss
For words to express my feelings
Deep in my heart

Look at me losing control
Thinking I had a hold
But with feelings this strong
Im no longer the master
Of my emotions............

Stevie Wonder

Song: Stevie Wonder ~ Lately
Lyrics:
Well, I'm a man of many wishes
Hope my premonition misses
But what I really feel my eyes won't let me hide
‘Cause they always start to cry
‘Cause this time could mean goodbye

Lately I've been staring in the mirror
Very slowly picking me apart
Trying to tell myself I have no reason
With your heart

Song: Stevie Wonder ~ You Are The Sunshine of My Life
Lyrics:
You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That's Why I'll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You'll Stay In My Heart

I Feel Like This Is The Beginning
Though I've Loved You For A Million Years
And If I Thought Our Love Was Ending
I'd Find Myself Drowning In My Own Tears

You Are The Sunshine Of My Life
That's Why I'll Always Stay Around
You Are The Apple Of My Eye
Forever You'll Stay In My Heart

You Must Have Known That I Was Lonely
Because You Came To My Rescue
And I Know That This Must Be Heaven
How Could So Much Love Be Inside Of You
