Starting this on the back of the thread about songs that take your breath away. How about songs that just make you want to dance? "New Shoes" by Paolo Nutini is one of my favourites ......

Anyone else find if they think too long and hard about some memories theses songs trigger, the nostalgia is almost slightly painful? Hope that's a normal reaction Grin

ParkheadParadise · 26/01/2021 20:34

@tellmewhentheLangshiplandscoz
I love music for me it's definitely connected to memories.
Red light is also a favourite.
