What song do you not like as it brings back unhappy memories?

Oh that's such a shame.
It's so lovely though, to know that people have enough love to envelope children with it.

Rick Astley and Never Gonna Give You Up. It was the theme tune to my first love. We broke up and even to this day 33yrs later I still wonder what if and how he is doing. No trace of him anywhere on Facebook by the way.

Roberta Flack, ‘The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face’, it came on the radio when I came in the door after a bad breakup. Still can’t listen to it.

Me too, DillytheGardener. I can STILL see his face, even now - over 50yrs later .

For me it's a song by Val Doonican, called "the special years" about a little girl geowi g up and all the different milestones there would be in her life. My Sister died a few weeks before Val. This song made me think of her 2 grandaughters, and how they would miss her.
Mama B. Thank you for sharing your story with us. Hugs to all who have shared on this thread.

Alone Again by Art Garfunkel. I was in an unhappy, violent marriage and I spent 12 years feeling I was alone with four children.

I stayed because I thought it was important for my kids to have a 'proper' family. Left over 30 years ago and have never regretted it.

The song When a Child is Born by Johnny Mathis. It was constantly on the radio when I had just lost one of my expected twins in childbirth. Also for the same reason the smell of Palmolive soap takes me right back to that time as it was the soap I had taken into hospital with me, I have never been able to use it since.

Yes, smells are very evocative, bumble. I saw some shampoo in our village chemist that I haven't seen around for decades and bought it. The first time I used it, it took me straight back to my unhappy abusive 1st marriage.

I gave it to my daughter.

Heart of Gold

Used to love it but it was played at the funeral of my friend's husband

He was only 50 and it was terribly sad

Monday, Monday by the Mamas and Papas - a bad break-up of my first engagement.
