Omg, I feel like I could quote a million songs here. I love music, I grew up listening to a real range of genres and decades so it’s always been a big part of my life.
When Starship, Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us comes on it takes me back to a couple of years back on a work do - it was a music intro quiz, this came on and we all just started singing then yelled when they stopped it so they just played it for us to sing to as it was pretty obvious we all knew the answer then!
My all time favourite song is “Poison” by Alice Cooper, I particularly love the lyrics “I wanna hurt you just to hear you screaming my name”
the song that always makes me cry though is “Who Knew” by Pink. It came out not too long after a very close (male) friend of mine who I had been madly in love with had suddenly dropped me from his life right after revealing he had feelings for me too but before anything serious could even happen. Literally went from the discussion that night with him talking about holidays we could take, a job he thought I’d be good at at his place of work, and ending the evening with a kiss that told me, I thought, all I needed to know, to the next day not replying to me at all (previously we’d have been emailing or messaging all day but it was pre decent text message tariffs) then finally speaking to me to say he thought we should stay away from each other for a while….i never heard from him again. So this song always makes me think of him and even all these years later I’m still blown away by just how much it seemed to sum it all up:
You took my hand,
you showed me how
you promised me you’d be around.
Ah ha, that’s right.
I took your words and I believed
in everything you said to me.
Yeah huh, that’s right.
If someone said 3 years from now, you’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong.
I know better, cause you said forever, and ever
Who knew?
Remember when we were such fools,
And so convinced and just too cool,
Oh no, no no
I wish I could touch you again
i I wish I could still call you a friend
I’d give anything.
When someone said count your blessings now, for they’re long gone
I guess I just didn’t know how, I was all wrong
But they knew, better, still you said forever.
And ever, Who Knew?
I’ll keep you locked in my head
until we meet again
Until we, until we meet again
I won’t forget you my friend,
What happened?
if someone said 3 years from now
you’d be long gone.
id stand up and punch them out
cause they’re all wrong and
that last kiss, I’ll cherish
until we meet again
and time makes it harder, I wish I could remember,
But I keep your memory, you visit me in my dreams,
My Darling, who knew?
My darling, who knew to fade
