Just had a great chat with the family about music and different songs also about how it effected them emotionally.
My Dad had some interesting songs
The Hollies-He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother-
My old man was in the navy about 30 years ago and he's best mate worked with him, He's mate tragically died in a car crash and that song reminds him of he's best mate.
Micheal Jackson-One day in your Life-
This was he's first date and he used to sing it to her. (Bit Cringey i know)
A recent one for me was
Coldplay-Speed Of Sound
The song came out around the time of 7/7 attacks on London, For some reason the song just reminds me of that tragic event.
Has any of you got songs that mean something to you or something you can relate to ?

Jerusalem - A moving song in itself, but also played at his funeral so reminds me of him again, strange I know but I was only about 14 and from a lot of the stories I hear about him he was the kind of guy you would get the best out of after one (or several drinks), so obviously something I never really got to experience.
Thanks Charlton Life... You are my Oprah...
Echo and the Bunnymen - Killing Moon some relationship I kind of had that went horribly wrong (didn't kill her, promise)
This Mortal Coil - Song to the Siren - First love
This Mortal Coil - Kangaroo - First love again.
What a girl.
Other than that, "This Is The Sea" by The Waterboys - got me thru a few dark moments.. would recommend reading the lyrics, for those who don't know it.
A very good friend of mine had twins a few years back. One didn't make it
D-Ream things can only get better man u away.
My husband can't listed to Puff Daddy I'll be Missing You for the same reason.
One fairly obscure tune which I think sums me up is "Be My Friend" by Free. I do value friendship highly and this track will be played at my funeral (hopefully in about 30 years' time!).
It's the one thing that sticks in my mind about my first trip to The Valley (and no, that isn't a joke - it was playing when we walked in)
Andrea Boccellis Time to say Goodbye - grandads funeral and hearing my man wailing :-(
Eric Claptons Wonderful Tonight - first dance at my wedding
was played at my friends 10 year old daughters funeral.
i held it together until this came on and set her dance class mates off, which set me into floods of tears.
'kin hell. just typing it has blown dust in my eyes.
