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.

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

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
