They are all on You Tube if you care to listen...<br /><br />When I was younger I used to listen to music all the time, and have many similar favourites to yourself. I enjoy Cliff, Diana Ross, Queen, but also The Beatles, Al Greene, in fact I am into Mozart too! <br /><br />I just love music.<br /><br />Good post ;-)maria smithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-10438123559020908852012-06-12T23:49:08.651+01:002012-06-12T23:49:08.651+01:00Hi Anne!

Music is like smell, it takes you right back there in an instant, even if you can't immediately think of the name of the track or even the singer. I smiled at your Carpenters references. Any Carpenters song ALWAYS makes me think of my mum. The funny thing is, I can't actually remember her playing Carpenters records but she must have done because they have such a distinct link to her for me. Ditto John Denver. Abba makes me think of my older sister and Wet Wet Wet (yuk!) always makes me think of one of my younger sisters. As for me, it has to be Wham!, Fun Boy Three, Haircut One Hundred, Tears for Fears and most of all, the still wonderful Housemartins which bring back most memories for me. Sigh!

I love music. I could fill a whole blog with my favourite songs, or songs that remind me of a specific time/event. The best thing that ever happened to me - music-wise - was a) marrying a musician and b) acquiring an iPod so that I have music wherever I go!Annalisa Crawfordhttp://annalisacrawford.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-39690133055456750762012-06-11T20:52:48.666+01:002012-06-11T20:52:48.666+01:00OMG, what an excellent post!

You brought me back to my angst-ridden teen years, when I liked nothing better than escaping into my room, turning on my radio or record player and either have a good cry or forget about my problems all together. One of my favs when I was down? "Alone Again (naturally)" by <br />Gilbert O'Sullivan. Not anymore! More often than not, you will find me listening to some good, edgy hard rock. It's a great release!<br /><br />I completely agree with you, music is one of our best companions throughout our lives. Songs evoke emotions and strong memories. I'm with you, thanks to all the music makers and thanks to you too, Anne! :)Intricate Knothttp://intricateknot.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-26153360600861088502012-06-11T05:24:09.116+01:002012-06-11T05:24:09.116+01:00Anne, thank you for your lovely comments on my blo...Anne, thank you for your lovely comments on my blog, they made my day.

Reading this it reminder me when I couldn't sleep as a child I use to listen to one of my dad's classical tapes to relax me. We played Queen's, Don't stop me now as we walked back down the aisle after getting married, to get everyone into the party mood. I also forgot as a teenager I would play and play certain songs when they reminded me of someone I fancied or if a boy had upset me and I felt sad. Ha ha.

I...I think I was a champion wallower as a teenager. I still get a perverse pleasure in making myself feel sad by listening to those old songs. Minnie Ripperton's Loving You (is easy cause you're beautiful) came straight to my mind. The song that makes me think of Mr A is Lionel Richie's Hello. A feel-good song for me is It's Raining Men (Halleluyah!!) and I'm Still Standing.<br /><br />Yes, I saw that Gary Barlow programme. Isn't he amazing and weren't all those kids fantastic! One of these days I might join a choir. I've love to give it a go.Rosalind Adamnoreply@blogger.com
