So, to appease the forum gods, let’s start a new generic thread. Or maybe that wasn’t the point. Who gives a fuck.
Here we go then, a song that for reasons that are meaningful, or just because, defines you. The one you go back to, maybe you have no idea why, or maybe it has meaning.
I shall begin.
1979 by Smashing Pumpkins
There is just something about the song that captures me. For someone of my generation it is a song that covers the Breakfast Club and Say Anything, or Sat Elmo Fire if yountranslate it to films. I like t(e Pumpkins but they are not my favourite band by a mile, yet this song and video combined are my go to when a little tipsy, makes me feel good.
Crack on, or make this the loneliest threa£ ever. Whatever floats your boat.

The sound of silence. by David Draiman with Disturbed. I was spellbound with his voice and its variations.

I haven't got one song. The best I can do is there's always been a tune which kind of captures the moment of the women in my life. It started a long time ago, and carries on til this day, but it's ace, whenever I hear one, I get whisked off.
The first one was "I wanna hold your hand" by The Beatles.

It's not a song I particularly like but it transports me back to the day like no other.
Seasons in the Sun by Terry Jacks - I was just preparing for a tour of duty in Yemen
It's really a whole album that starts off my musical journey - The Who Live at Leeds

Audrey's reminded me of Paint it Black when I used to watch Tour of Duty.
