Another anniversary one from me:

Bryan Adams - Heaven

I should really have put these in chronological order with hindsight!

The Rose

Hey Jude.
Thirteen/ fourteen camping with family in Brittany. Large group of French teens who played guitars and played this it was magical to me. Now if ever I hear it it always takes me back fifty plus years.

What a lovely thread! In terms of what reminds me most of of old friends, this has to be close to the top:

Bitty McLean - It Keeps Rainin' (Tears From my Eyes).

Someone's 18th birthday party, just a few days before Christmas, in a long-gone provincial nightclub. The girl I had a massive crush on turned up somewhat unexpectedly with a guy in tow, who was far better looking than I. Like the idiot I was I must have been looking askance at them, so she came over and told me to f*ck off to the back of beyond. I spent the rest of the night in a miserable daze, and my last memory of the evening was leaving the club and turning around to see the two of them slow dancing to Bitty's ditty.

It put a bloody downer on Christmas, I can tell you!

Three Times A Lady

Love Will Tear Us Apart. I'm listening to the John Peel show on the radio in my bedroom and I hear this song for the first time. I've just turned 16, on the verge of leaving home with the future an open book. Life was exciting, the future was mine. Those opening chords still tear through my soul and take me back to that moment.
