Of all the songs ya know? what one means the most?

Just a quick question ladies and gentlemen? What is the song that sticks most in your head....the kind of song you hear if you're listening to the radio or your MP3 player and then it brings back a life changing moment of your life? Something that you knew would stick with you for a long long time. Mine, has to be...Damien Rice and the Blowers daughter....tell all?

Celebrate Your Mother...

...not a life changing song but it's a real song.

Ruu_Old · 19-07-2009 5:38pm

The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored

The lyrics are not amazing but it's the whole song really. I love the music in it. The bass and guitar strike chords with me and also remind me of good times.

brummytom · 19-07-2009 6:10pm

Good thread renraw;

For me it's got to be 'Peggy Gordon' - Luke Kelly/Dubliners.... beautiful song, sums up the ups and downs of love perfectly

(I'm kind of obsessed with the band :P)

Martha by Tom Waits. When I was little I used to think my dad and Tom Waits were the same person coz he was always singing along to the album Closing Time

so it always reminds me of being little snuggled up on the couch with him. It's not my favourite Tom Waits song by a long shot but it means a lot to me coz of that

The intro is other-worldly- can't compare it to anything, it goes right through you.
That and the way it builds from nothing.

Lollipops23 · 19-07-2009 8:32pm

Closing Time by Semisonic...memories of school and some deadly mates!

also Butterfly by Crazytown, not the bestest song in the world but reminds me of summertime and spending the whole day in the park!

FlutterinBantam · 19-07-2009 8:34pm

I'm a Scatman by Scatman John.

fullstop · 19-07-2009 8:44pm

Toploader - Achilles Heel
Semisonic -Secret Smile

Both bring back bittersweet memories

Captain-America · 19-07-2009 8:46pm

Gaucho by Steely Dan has to be one of my favourite songs.

I bought the LP on the strength of a review in the NME during 1989. The band were referred to as "**** With Attitude" then and it has always stuck with me.

killwill · 19-07-2009 9:40pm

Pink Floyd and Comfortably Numb. I can't believe noone mentioned any Floyd on 3 pages!!!

tribulus · 19-07-2009 9:50pm

I've had a rather happy and uneventful life so far so the songs that come to mind are songs from funerals.

A friend died when he was 14 and had a couple of Westlife songs played at his funeral. You'd never think he was into that as he was the most stereotypical alpha male teenager you could ever meet

lynsalot · 19-07-2009 9:51pm

Funky town by Lipps Inc

No idea why - but the opening tune
Dun dun dun dun dun
dun dun dun dun dun
and malcom in the middle everytime it's in my head

fantastic

also it runs into garden of eden i think that's the name of it... same opening sequence but melody changes after first couple of bars lol
