Song of the Day (31 Songs inspired)

GuanYin

Just read Nick Hornby's 31 songs and while I'm not overly impressed by it (it was ok in parts), it sorta got me thinking about how music and songs influence my moods (or more often my moods strongly influence my music, although, this is true of almost everyone) and often strongly relate to memories I have.

So I'm going to try to pick a song for the day as often as I can, maybe it will be a song for the period, or song of the week, it depends on how my routine and access to boards is.

So basically this is a thread for anyone who wants to post a song that has meant something particular to them today, or that they've just remembered.
For me, it won't be a song for the day ahead, but a song for the day that just passed or for a moment or feeling that recently struck. Hopefully Lucutus will sticky it.

I'm not going to post an essay here for each song, that'd be self indulgent and monopolising bandwidth in the forum, so I'll post the song and if anyone cares about the essay I'll link it to my journal where I'll write the meaning behind the song. Hopefully others will do the same

I don't expect everyone to like the same music I do, or even take the same meanings, but hopefully, if this works, we'll all get to hear some new tunes at the very least.

Todays song is 4.35am - Gemma Hayes

this is that tune from all them rte adverts , i know a few peope were asking about it on other threads , and this one has become a little bit of a ghost thread of late

the tune is called verspiel by irish composer mark kerry not a clasical music fan but the hook on this piece makes me want to head up into the attic and blow the dust of the old cassio next time i am aback at the home place, great tune

Heard this at about 3am on Sunshine 106.8 FM (Dublin) this morning. This song has a long history, but I love Juice Newton's version from 1981.

She's cute as a button. Strangely difficult to get single CD issues of her albums outside of compilation/'value' box sets.

In the context of the war in Ukraine, I find myself singing The Green Fields of France, - it is a very poignant song.

Was anyone here on 'This Is My Jam'? Good site while it lasted, a couple of years later I started doing a "tune of the month", just basically making a note of song I listened to most during the previous calendar month

For March this year it was… this long lost (Irish) country rock tune

I knew of King Kong Company but never heard them. This song popped up on my Spotify and it's a cracker. I have it on a loop all morning. It's a bop, the lyrics are hilarious and terrifying.

I'm thinking of going to see them live in November off the back of this.

That sounds like a great idea! Music is such a powerful way to connect with emotions and memories, and sharing those connections with others can be really meaningful. I’ve found that certain songs take on a whole new significance depending on what’s happening in my life at the time. It’s like they become a soundtrack to specific moments or feelings. I’m definitely interested in seeing what songs resonate with you and why, and I’m sure others will be too. Even if we don’t all share the same taste in music, there’s always something to appreciate in how a song can impact someone else. I might even join in and share a few of my own!
