Cleared out my mum’s house a couple of years ago as she has early onset dementia, now in a care home with very late stage dementia at 60.
Im missing her so much it hurts just now, sitting looking through some of the things I kept - including a few mix tapes from before I was born (1991) - majority is 1980s, but there’s two songs I can’t work out at all.
One is a pop song I think, with pan pipes and the lyrics sound vaguely like ‘I close myself and …’ (no idea). The tape’s a bit knackered, it’s about 37 years old. The other is an instrumental - that sounds a bit Irish or Scottish, it’s guitar and violin music. It sounds like it could be a waltz or a soundtrack to a film.
any guesses are more than welcome!!
Shazam hasn’t got it at all, sadly.
It’s helping a bit as I can hear my mum singing a bit, and it gives me an idea of what she was like before I knew her … I’ve attached photos of the playlist.
She did have a few records I remember where it was like cover versions of chart songs - hits 45 or something? I’m not sure if half of these are off that - it’s hard to tell, several were definitely covers but the sound quality’s so bad it’s hard to work out what’s a cover and what’s just a bit too high pitched!
Are there websites I’ve not tried that might work? I’d upload a recording onto here but no idea how!!!
