Reading through the thread of descriptions of our partners I was thinking about the concept of Our Song . I think we had a thread like this some time ago but anyway - what is the one song (as some of us may have several which were attached to certain periods/occasions) that your would regard as Our Song?

Ours in Baker Street Gerry Rafferty- soaring triumphant saxophone reflected what we et when we met... Ah!!sunshine

Brian Adams singing 'Everything I do, I do it for you' still has the power to make me cry. It was always our song... blub blub..... sad

Ours was 'Have I the Right' by the Honeycombs. It was played endlessly on the Youth Club holiday we spent in Mullion.

DD's first attempts at saying 'Mummy' used to come out as 'Minyum' so we would all sing along to Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep....'Where's your Minyum gone, where's your Minyum gone?'

Wot? No votes for Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep?

Ours was How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I've Been A Liar All My Life?

Hello - by Lionel Richie; it was the first record my husband bought me when we could hardly believe that our close friendship was changing to something more.

La Mer by Charles Trenet, though we like Rod Stewart's version too.

Margsus Mon 28-Sept-15 17:44:40

The Stylistics, "You make me feel brand new" - the words were so apt! We also chose it for our first dance at our wedding, and 37 years later it still brings a lump to my throat when I hear it.

We don't have a song! sad My DH is tone deaf and all songs sound the same to him. We used to fall about laughing when the DC asked him to sing anything. He sang the same tune to every song!

Like Bellasnonna we're with Kenny Rogers 'Lady'........for so many years I thought I'd never find you.......

Not long after we met my DH went on holiday with a few of his friends - only for a week, but by golly did I miss him! He rang when he could find a phone box, and sent a couple of postcards, one of which said "I'm lying on the beach, listening to the Mamas and Papas singing Dream a Little Dream of Me. The words speak for themselves"
So, yes, that's our song!

Instead of making a speech at our 50 wedding anniversary celebration, my husband played "You're once twice, three times a lady", so when I hear that I have a little smile. As everyone seems to agree, music can bring back so many memories. Evidently, when I was a child, and we had a wind up gramophone, if "Smoke gets in your eyes" was played, I would burst into tears, no one knew why, neither did I!
