Maybe it was over when you chucked me out the rover at full speed.

Maybe maybe by Aha

This used to make me cry as it came out at a time when I was initially and very cruelly turned down for PIP just like Sam's Mam was. Sam is also a local lad and my Dad used to go to his gigs before he was famous.

A soppy one but reminds me of my DS being born after many years of battling infertility

Another line from Robbie’s No Regrets ‘ if I could just stop hating you, I’d feel sorry for us instead.’

And a memory from my childhood ‘For you are beautiful, and I have loved you dearly, more dearly than the spoken word can tell’ (The Last Farewell - sighs)

The Last Farewell is one of my cool-down songs on my Spotify running collection. Always a tear in my eye when I hear it...

Needhelp101 · 01/03/2025 18:44

Am I the only one in tears reading this great thread? So many heartfelt words.

While the Chief puts sunshine on Leith
I'll thank Him for His work and your birth, and my birth...'

Love leads us into the stream
And it's sink or swim
Like it's always been

The whole song really though. Culture Club's 'Victims'.

"They seek him here, they seek him there,
In Regent Street and Leicester Square."

Dedicated Follower of Fashion - The Kinks. The whole song is perfect. I've listened to it many times and not detected a superfluous note or syllable. It's also a superb London song and it's funny without being in any way nasty.

If you've proved all there is to prove got nothing left to lose then walk away.

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing and what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection, the lovers, the dreamers and me.

The pretty lies, the ugly truth
And the day has come where I have died
Only to find, I've come alive.

"You are the only thing in any room you're ever in". Starlings by Elbow

Love this.

I have another Elbow one from the same album:

“When out of a doorway, the tentacles stretch
Of a song that I know, and the world moves in slo-mo
Straight to my head like the first cigarette of the day”

It is indeed, beautiful! I sing along loudly while I’m driving… it often makes me cry, it’s such a beautiful song. I heard it being sung by football fans (Scottish team I think?) recently, and it was raw but still beautiful.
Love the Proclaimers, have several albums.

Gazelda · 01/03/2025 21:49

So many beautiful words that are underrated.

But one line that always makes me grin is "thank you for my breasts so small and humble, so you don't mistake them for mountains". shakira.
