Angie Baby - Helen Reddy

Heard it on someone's transistor radio during a train ride in Hong Kong during one summer when I was around nine. I don't know why, but the song set my imagination on fire. I still have a vivid memory of this experience.

Way Out - The La's

I threw up straight after finishing an unusually stressful exam, so I was taken to a medical room. I was in this horrible place between wanting to throw up and wanting to sleep when I heard this song nearby. This song played loudly while I retched like crazy.

During one bout of retching, it suddenly occurred to me that English songs were a rarity around here. I got off the bed and followed the song to a classroom, and found a new pupil listening to it. She was French, but could speak English. We became friends in that instant.

N Joi - Anthem

It reminds me of the summers of 90/91 when I used to go down to Otterspool Prom with my mate and meet up with his older brother who was usually down there with a load of people from Quadrant Park and other parties, just riding out the come down. It was the start of a slippery slope for me because I was already a bedroom DJ, and it just sucked me in. I remember this being on when I rolled my first E and it kicked in.

Crazy, crazy daze, but I'd wouldn't have done it any differently.

I definitely feel old because I'm struggling to remember the title of another take-you-back-to-that-special-moment song. The only line I can recall goes something like 'goodnight iron, goodnight iron'. :/

'Free' by Deniese Williams and 'Show you the way to go' by The Jacksons - both in the charts at the same time.

I was totally loved up.

Well done, but almost. Google says there are four versions of Goodnight Irene.

The Leadbelly version:

The Weavers version:

Spoiler

The Peter, Paul & Mary version:

Spoiler

The Pete Seeger version:

Spoiler

Seems that the Weavers version is the best known, which explains why no one recognised 'my' (Leadbelly's) song all these years. Thank you for solving this decades-old mystery!

When I was moving from Isle of Man to Leeds. I was on a bus to the airport listening to Rihanna's Rated R. I got through departures and listened to the last few songs before i was too excited/nervous/anxious to listen to any more songs as I was leaving everything behind. The last song that played from that album before turning off was actually The Last Song, i must of been taking everything in during that song, as remember the feeling I was feeling at the time, how dark it was from being cloudy at the airport, and the path I walked from the window through the chairs and bumping into a lady who asked me about her questionaire, about how many days I was going away for, i lied and said 4 days as I didn't want to get into the fact I was moving away. it all comes back with that song weirdly.
