A song that reminds you of someone

Tweet

Many songs remind me of people in my life. I am quite a sentimentalist. My song challenge entry, sad songs, was influenced by songs I associated with my father. My first girlfriend – Rod Stewart’s Sailing – we met on a cruise in 1977 and this song was the last one played in the bar for us to dance to each night. My Mum – Elvis Presley – Love Me Tender – she is a big fan of Elvis. My sister in happier days – Donny Osmond – The Twelfth Of Never My Dad – Nat King Cole – Stardust – he loved this and when I learned that the song was set to Tchaikovsky’s Pathetique Symphony and bought him a copy of tht he played it many times over before his death. My science fiction group friends – Metallica – Imperial March from The Empire Strikes Back – often played at our house parties. My Grandfather – Josef Locke – Hear My Song. My granddad often sang and whistled this to himself. My Aunt Pauline – Anything by Bob Dylan, who she adored. No doubt there are many more too, though I was surprised how many friends and relatives I have to who I can’t match up a song too. Youtube – Josef Locke – Hear My Song Arthur Chappell
