My parents loved Amazing Grace and it was a hit the year that they died, 1979. They died within 19 days of each other, that song was played at each funeral and every time I hear it now it brings back memories of them.

Under the Boardwalk is such a wonderful song, it reminds me and my hubby of when we met at the seaside, we have been married 45 years this year and still love a pier and a walk on the sand.

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight - chosen by my husband when we were going out but lived far away from each other.
Phil Collins - Against All Odds - reminds me of a previous relationship.
I have memories when others come on the radio etc but none stand out as much as those 2.

Terry by Twinkle - for an obvious reason

hey jude the beatles reminds me of my youth!

wonderwall by oasis reminds me of me and my dad, painting the house x

Two less lonely people in the world by Air Supply which was played over our wedding video, means so much to us

Hallelujah because it was my dad's favourite song and reminds me of him.

Hymns 'And can it be that I should gain' and 'Amazing grace'
reminding me of my baptism and also our wedding. 'Money for nothing' by Dire Straits reminding of a holiday to France.
'Bridge over Troubled Water' by Simon & Garfunkel reminding of sixth form. Blowing In The Wind by Bob Dylan reminding of long student nights

my girl by the temptations-the whole family sang it to my daughter on her wedding day prior to handing her over to her new husband for their first dance

I used to love I will survive by Gloria Gaynor, I used to dance along to it at college and it is always the song I play to motivate me with things get challenging

‘All I have to do is dream’ by Richard Chamberlain.( Yes,
Dr Kildaire!) When I was at college in the late sixties we had a record player in the common room and only had about three records that were played constantly. I just have to hear that tune and I am immediately transported back to those days.

Me & Mrs Jones is a song that always brings a sly smile! It was playing the first time OH and I had our first date and it brings back very happy memories.

Too much music, too many memories but these are some that have special meaning for me. The Way We Were by Barbra Streisand (lovely film, wonderful singer who I never appreciated before my husband took me to see it). Lady Love Me One More Time by George Benson (bygone love), Up Where We Belong from An Officer and a Gentleman ( it was playing on the radio in the ward when I discovered by mother had died. I often hear it played on that date or on her birthday). Oh Mein Papa in memory of my wonderful father. Angeline is Only Friday by the Seekers. My husband loves them and Angeline our first daughter is named after the song. I think I had better stop as I could go on for ever!

Rod Stewart,s Maggie May is my all time favourite,with fond memories of my mis-spent youth❤️

I'll Stand By You by The Pretenders - we went through some tough times soon after we got together.

sorry seems to be the hardest word by elton john. this is very fitting as my first love played this to me after he broke up wiht me. so sad

Mine is Red Red Wine by UB40 it was played over and over again at my 16th home party All the coolest kids came which shocked me lol. I can still see us in the park close by us swinging and having a laugh before popping back to the house drunk.

Mine would be Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond. We were in Las Vegas (getting married) and were waiting to watch the pirate show outside Treasure Island and the bar next to the hotel played Sweet Caroline. The entire crowd spontaneously burst in song singing along. It was a truly magical moment.

Summer Holiday by Cliff Richard. Brings back many happy memories of endless sunny days in the 1960/70s.

Weather with you - Crowded House brings back memories of when I first met my husband as every time we went on a date it was raining so he would say I've brought the weather with me so the crowded house became our song.

Band of Gold by Freda Payne was our first dance song at our wedding. TOTALLY inappropriate for a wedding but it was the first song we ever danced to and we love it. We are still together 39 years later so it wasn’t a bad omen ?

When I stayed the night at my Granny’s house, I would come into her big bed early in the morning and coorie doon for a cuddle. Granny would sing Scarlet Ribbons. It still brings me to tears. I loved watching Saturday afternoon films with my mum. One of our favourites was The Student Prince. Mario Lanza singing Golden Days breaks my heart.

I have memories of sitting around a little brown Bakelite radio with my Mum and Dad when I was very little, and I loved it when the song ‘ There is a mole in a hole’ used to come on. Years later my sons favourite was Karma Chamelion, definitely an animal theme in this family!

Cliff Richard - The Young Ones + Del Shannon - Runaway - remind me of my youth club days. It must be love - Labbi Siffre for later years.
