What one song says it all for you?
Mine is an early 20th century ballad: 'A Mood' It was written by the manager of the Finsbury Park Empire, E.J.Macdermott to music by Alison Travers.
A Mood The songs of the birds in the sunshine, The buzz of the bee, the caw of the rook, The bleating of lambs, the murmuring brook, Fill my soul with a deepening wonder. The sun sinks to rest in the evening With halo of gold, the hush of the twilight, Sombre bright hue, heaven all starlight, Then my soul from things earthly will wander. The nightingale's song in the darkness, The hoot of the owl, the chirp of the cricket, The croak of the frog, the dim distant Roll of the sea on the grey rocks yonder. The songs of the birds in the sunshine, The buzz of the bee, the caw of the rook, The bleating of lambs, the murmuring brook, Fill my soul with a deepening wonder. Fits me to a tee: totally uncool, veering more and more to sentimentality and a lover of all nature. Yehaa! |

I had this song played at my wife's funeral, recorded by Willie Nelson.
I thought it rather fitting because I spent a lot of time away from home driving my tanker. Even though I wasn't always with her she was "Always on my mind" I asked the vicar to explain the reason I chose it to the congregation. Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could have And maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should have If I made you feel second best Girl, I'm sorry I was blind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind And maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me, tell me that your sweet love hasn't died And give me, give me one more chance To keep you satisfied I'll keep you satisfied Little things I should have said and done I just never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind |

Margaret.....I love the Peggy Lee song......it was a favourite of my dear old dad.....and Russell, your choice is one of my favourites too....but the one that really chokes me is.....'To Dance with my Father again'
If you had asked me when my father was alive, if we were close I would have answered 'not particularly'.....but this week saw the 21st anniversary of his death...and I don't think a day goes by that I do not think of him....and like Paul Mc Cartney...if I could have a time machine for an hour, I would go back and tell him of the spectacular impact he had on my life. |

'Lovesick Blues' sung by Hank Williams always makes me happy.
There are many songs which take me back to a particular moment or person. |

I like a lot of different music -
But one that stands out in my mind when I first heard it was "All the Young Dudes" Mott the Hoople... Bowie certainly knows how to write the classics. :cool: |
