Very hard...but today I would pick Never ending story by Limahl as it means a lot to me

Smashingsmashed · 07/06/2021 23:08

Born to Run, Bruce Springsteen

@theleafandnotthetree that was mine and DHs song for our first dance 😍

Hoolihan · 07/06/2021 23:11

Very difficult but I think it might be Wonderwall.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 07/06/2021 23:11

The Wild Ones by Suede

@ellenpartridge

Everlong - foo fighters
Depending on my mood it's a close call between this and the one I posted
llm24 · 07/06/2021 23:17

Every Breath You Take
Sting

Goldrill · 07/06/2021 23:18

The Cult - Sanctuary

AliceSprings123 · 07/06/2021 23:18

Easy. James Taylor, Carolina in my mind.
He wrote this when he was in Europe and homesick. He's singing about my home town and God! I'm so homesick atm. No chance of going back and sometimes (like now) I indulge in a pity-fest and play this on a loop.Just as well my neighbour's deafGrin

Twolostsoulsswimminginafishbow · 07/06/2021 23:20

‘Across the Universe’ performed by Rufus Wainwright.
Several Floyd, Bowie and Cohen songs come close though.

40somethingJBJ · 07/06/2021 23:23

P!nk - Perfect. It’s so hard to choose just one song!

RobinsEggBlue · 07/06/2021 23:26

@giantwaterbottle has picked an absolute beauty. I’m going to go with U2 With or Without You

theleafandnotthetree · 07/06/2021 23:28

Great choice, though I'm sure there were people there who'd have preferred a bit of Shania Twain 🤣. I think it is achingly beautiful. Also love How Soon is Now

Cocolapew · 07/06/2021 23:28

Crackin' Rosie Neil Diamond

SheldonesqueTheBstard · 07/06/2021 23:29

I have too many favourites.

But one that blows me away every time I see it is Queen Radio GaGa at Live Aid.

Crowd control. Freddie had them in the palm of his hands.

Masterful. Beautiful.

And now haunting and apt to make me cry.

Magnificent.

redfairy · 07/06/2021 23:30

Think I'm going to marry you- Bruno Mars which is ironic as I'm twice divorced

BeenAsFarAsMercyAndGrand · 07/06/2021 23:31

@cheezy

That’s Easy Sunshine on Leith by the Proclaimers
Ooh, good choice.

I think mine is either Ruby's Arms by Tom Waits or Caledonia.

WeatherwaxOn · 07/06/2021 23:32

Quite a few I really like here. I'm going to go with the Dinosaur Jr cover of Just Like Heaven.

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 07/06/2021 23:33

Way too many to choose from but I'm going to say American Pie by Don McLean

MrsBongiovi · 07/06/2021 23:38

Very hard to pick just one.

Definitely Bon Jovi. So probably Bed of Roses.

Florawest · 07/06/2021 23:58

Elvis Costello

All his songs are brilliant but I will go with "good year for the roses"
