    reminiscing music

    This is not a thread to start posting willy nilly a load of sounds OK? I don't care about what sounds your into OK? I'm into hearing about a piece of music that has effected your life in some way and meant something to you RIGHT?

    So I don't wanna hear about how you 'used' to be into this or that OK and this tune was fab etc. Couldn't give a shit to be honest. GET IT??!!

    Well for me there have been many tunes at certain poignant moments in my life but the one that rings bells in my ears at present is this tune by The Afro Celt Sound System. I was at the WOMAD festival a number of years back and met a beautiful Norwegian girl who I ended up dating for nearly 3 years. This tune always remeinds me of that period in my life and how good things were and good be again. The video reminds me that I don't need to be 'out there' searching for the answers.............They're already there in my heart if i just open up a bit more.

    Please comment on future vids to come.....As I say this is not a 'free for all' OK I wanna hear stories behind the tunes OK. I'm a music man at the end of the day and that's what makes me tick.

    GO FOR IT PEOPLE!

        Okay, my song is a little hokie but it means a lot to me because it was a special event my father and I did together. On 5/25/86 they held the "Hands Across America" event and I had signed up to take part in the event. When I was telling my father about it he decided he wanted to do it too. He was 76 years old and it was one of the last things he and I did together because he passed away a year and 1/2 later on 11/25/87. I still have the pin and the T-shirt from this event along with pictures of my father and me.

                    I have been trying to find the recording I want for here.

                    Let me keep working on it, Hipster.

                    I have a cut that blew me away when I was 18 years old. It "spoke" to me.

                    Youtube doesn't have a good version at all, it sounds yucky (is that how you spell it?)

                    I will find it and post it here.

                    It is the song the defines my life. Seriously.

                    It is taking some work to find it, though.

                    Love,
                    Cindi

                      Reminds me of growing up, and is a song that my bro and my best mate have as our bonding song. they both live in N.Z so it reminds me of them, happiness, my daughter and all that is good in my life.

                          [quote=one2many;448196]Ok, My dad was an alcoholic and my mother could not deal with it, so every night he came home with drink on him, she would flip out, scream, shout, attack him, hit him, until he could not take it any more and got up and gave her a slap.
                          I remember I had a little bike, I must have been about 4, the bike was blue and it had red streamers coming out of the handlebars and it had stablisers, we had an old round coffee table, when the shit hit the fan, I uesd to ride my little bike round and round and round the coffe table, convincing myself that the faster I went and the more the red streamers became a blur, it would all stop and I would be ok......it would just stop, it never worked tho, so I would pick my mum up and comfort her and convince her to go to bed and just leave it.
                          This song was always playing and it just reminds me of spinning round and round on that bike.


                          One that is so from the heart babe. Thank you! I'll buy you that bike with the red streamers again I promise!!

                          Love you babe
                          Hips

                              See One??? That's what I'm trying to achieve in this thread. Do you get in know???

                              Right this tune was one I started off with when i first decided ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH. I needed to get sober etc. I was still chasing at the time, I was in cloud cuckoo land to be honest but this track said something to me. I needed to get off the gear,
