@SimplySteveRedux

Some from me, these three have a connection, mid/late 80s, one creeps in early 90 (must've been hungover):
  • Sometimes I just forget, say things I might regret It breaks my heart to see you crying I don't want to lose you I could never make it on my own*

Make believing
We're together
That I'm sheltered
By your heart

  • I'm frightened as much as you Though I'm barely touching you I've shivers down my spine And it feels divine*

Fourth (unconnected, same time frame though):

Who's gonna tell you when
It's too late?
Who's gonna tell you things
Aren't so great?

Is the second one I drove all night? Roy Orbison or Cyndi Lauder.

Love the Orbison version, not heard it in so long Smile

Hi all 🙂

Sometimes I just forget is Glory of Live Peter Cetera

I'm doing a theme at 9pm-ish, hopefully the theme will be a bit more difficult challenging than my usual, but the songs won't be.

CoffeeBeansGalore · 11/12/2020 20:01

Thsnk you @NeedToKnow101. Will look forward to it 😊

Why 9pm??😄

shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 20:32

@SimplySteveRedux
One of your songs was Maria McKee
Show me heaven

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 20:35

@Honeyroar

Dunno, I'm trying to pull a crowd.. Grin.. well it's taken a while to get my songs together. I'm sure it will be completely underwhelming 😘

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 20:37

🤣. It’s about time I posted some, so I’m not really laughing. Just sitting here with baited breath clock watching!

shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 20:37

@SimplySteveRedux
Is your theme that the songs are from films ?

Please post some! Grin

Wrapped in her arms I see you across the street
And I can’t help but wonder
If she knows what’s going on
(90s)

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 20:51

Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
(80s)

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 20:52

You just walk in
I make you smile
It’s cool but
You don’t even know me
(90s/00s)

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 20:53

And there’s a theme. All that before 9pm too Cinderella!

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 20:58

😂😂🤣 don't know any of them, but is the theme cheating?
Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 20:59

No.🤐

NeedToKnow101 · 11/12/2020 21:02

Songs and a theme for our Friday night special...got more songs but the the theme will be too easy..

So come on, let's knock on every door
Tell them love is the answer
Whether they're rich or poor, oh yeah
For we don't care what you do
60s

Those were the times we had
Sharing the joy that we thought would last
Memories of love and affection
Never really was just like a dream
80s

After the rush has gone
I hope you find a little more time
Remember we were partners in crime
It's only two years ago
The man with the suit and the face
80s

Riding through the city on my bike all day
'Cause the filth took away my licence
It doesn't get me down and I feel okay
'Cause the sights that I'm seeing are priceless
00s

He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
00s

shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 21:05

@Honeyroar
There are two of your songs which I think are stop by Sam brown !
I'm sure they both can't be !

shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 21:06

After the rush has gone is Spandau Ballet Gold

Honeyroar · 11/12/2020 21:06

One of them is Shiny, but which one?

shinynewapple2020 · 11/12/2020 21:08

@NeedToKnow101 I think your last one is Amy whitehouse
Not sure what it's called but lyrics go tears dry on my own
