@Lettice. Have you heard Ray Stevens’ version of “Misty”. A bit more up tempo than the Johnny Mathis version, but really good.

“The Look of Love’ by Gladys Knight and The Pips.

Mrswoo Great shout re Harvest Moon . Goose bumps every time I hear it .

Pammiel" Thank you for the reminder of Ray Stevens, but no, I don't like that one. It's the twangy guitars, makes it sound like country music of which I am not a fan.

My ex husband said it summed up how he felt about me as he had never found it easy to express love. I always felt he had Asperger's syndrome as our son has.

Another song is I'm not in love by 10cc. Very haunting.

Oh ladies you’ve certainly got the memories flooding in.
Love this post.

"Let's hear it for the boy" by Denience Williams
In 1984 I was pregnant and went for a scan and they asked me if I wanted to know the sex of the baby. I already had two daughters and they said "It's a boy!" I was thrilled but couldn't tell anyone as Mr R had said he didn't want to know so this song became very special to me!

These Foolish Things (remind me of you)

Always Something There to Remind Me( you'll always be a part of me)

I am finding as I get older I am taking more notice of the lyrics of a song and what they mean, where perhaps when I was younger I concentrated on the tune more, I have lots of favourite songs but sometimes one will resonate more in that moment in time, when my DH was in hospital after a life changing event I heard the song " Just you and I" by Tom Walker and that has definitely stayed with me.

“We’ve Got Tonight” by Bob Seger.

Real goosebumps song.

Two out of three ain't bad - Meatloaf.
