'Your' Song

Do you and your significant other have 'Your Song'?

Or maybe you only have to hear the first few lines of a particular track to bring back the memories of a certain someone?

Tell us the story behind 'your' song. smile



Last night, I was in the house, and one of the music channels was playing 'I Wanna Be The Only One' by Eternal and Bebe Winans. *Not* one of my favourite tracks lol but, years ago, I was seeing this guy and - for some reason - he decided it was 'our' track'. (Call me old fashioned but I thought it was supposed to be a mutual thing. confused Obviously not).

Anyway, whether it was because it was playing in the background the first night we met or something, I'm not sure, but he went out and bought it and used to play the hell out of it. I was absolutely sick of it in the end. lol


And I preferred 'Power Of A Woman', anyway. razz


So... do you have or have you ever had 'Your Song'???

not so much for a love, but my best friend and I have many songs over the years that if it comes on we'll look to each other and have a giggle or something because it's attached to a certain time or memory

not the context you're thinking of, I know hon, but it's kinda as close as I get to it for now nod

lol what a random (and rahter rubbish) song to have as "your song"! comfort

I had a few with my ex...not so much our songs but ones that one of us said at some point, "Oh this is lovely! *smooch*" mushy

You've Got Her In Your Pocket - The White Stripes
If You Dont Know Me By Now - Harold Melvin & the Bluenotes
You Make Me Feel Brand New - the Delfonics (I think)

I still have trouble listening to all of those! But so does he, so shrug !

My boyfriend and I met the day Barry White's death. It's the first topic we spoke about, so all Barry White's songs are "our" songs.

tch

i've always liked "body and soul" by Anita Baker, but my husband hates it.

we don't agree much on music, but we both love "she fucking hates me"... guess that might be considered our song then... lol

Cheers, guys. lol

Here's to those without a song... hug

And to those who are lucky enough to have one written for them... wow! worship


And, susannah, yeah - it wsn't *my* choice. lol Whenever I hear the lyrics (like last night) I always cringe a little. I don't know if they were supposed to be 'him' singing them to me. confused

No Doubt-"Making Out". Basically the whole "Rock Steady" album, but that track in particular is ours.
Listen to me on The House of Pop Culture podcast on itunes http://itunes.apple.com/u...d438631917

I don't think we have an "our song" and I'm rather glad.

Ed Harcourt's "This One's For You" conjures up wonderful thoughts of my manfriend. He once sent an entire text of NIN's "We're In This Together Now."

But neither of them are "ours."
This one's for you.

Oh, heres the song that reminds me of when me and my husband first met. And our first summer together, that we were like happy and stuff. Awesome song too! thumbs up!

Metallica
Hero of the Day

Mama they try and break me

The window burns to light the way back home
A light that warms no matter where they've gone

They're off to find the hero of the day
But what if they should fall by someone's wicked way

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Do you feel your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?
Mama they try and break me
Still they try and break me

'Scuse me while I tend to how to feel
These things return to me that still seem real

Now deservingly this easy chair
But the rocking stopped by wheels of despair

Don't want your aid
But the fist I make
For you,can't hold off fear
No not on me
So please excuse me
While I tend to how I feel

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Still the window burns
Time so slowly turns
And someone there is sighing
Keepers of the flames
Can't you hear your name?
Did you hear your babies crying?

But now the dreams and waking screams
That everlast the night
So build a wall
Behind it crawl
And hide until it's light
So can't you hear your babies crying now?

Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try and break me
Mama they try
Mama they try
