Yeah, I've got a double CT CD with that song on Live In Japan/Budokan I think.

I always felt like this song defined my life. After college I was lying on the beach in Florida on vacation and decided to never go back north. I turned the page and started a great new chapter of my life that I have never regretted.

I love Bog Seiger Like a Rock an Night Moves. Great music:thumbsup:

I say this if you listen to these artists songs and of course Led Zeplein, The Who, Queen, Pink Floyd, The Eagles and Kansas they all sound just as good today as they ever did. You are not going to be able to say that about all the pop stars today dancing around in their underwear singing music that will be forgotten tomorrow. (Unless your Ellie Goulding or Adele that is)
 
I'm sorry, I always have to tell a story... :o

My hubby... well he was serious boyfriend then LOL ... lived in Texas, he was in the Air Force. I lived in Alabama. Something like 900 miles apart, I think a 16 hour drive with a heavy foot, no tickets, minimal potty and refueling stops. We'd had a serious couple of arguments on the phone during the week. I would no longer take his phone calls, I had some thinking and crying to do. It might be over between us. Saturday night... er... Sunday morning... probably 1 a.m. the phone rings...

me: whuh? 'lo?
him: you damn well better be home. meet me here at the payphone (there was only one and it was 6 miles away. I lived waaaay out in the country then). I can't find my way out to your place in the damn dark.
me: whuh? how? u? now? AWOL? MPs coming?... whut day zzit? (I'm known for speaking in tongues upon first waking up)

We were married later that week.

When we first heard Cindi Lauper's I Drove All Night years later, we looked at each other and said... 'yep'....

So funny you mention this song - I recently put it on my mp3 player; brings back carefree feelings and thoughts. :-)

I used to live about 200 yards from Gerry Raferty as it happens.

Not so much particular songs but certain albums bring back memories of good times from that era for me. "Upstairs at Erics" by Yazoo, "Luxury Gap" by Heaven 17 and "Organisation" by OMD are the 3 I cherished most back in the 80s. But back then you bought a record, on vinyl, with an inner sleeve and lyric sheet and you flipped it over after 20 minutes. I buy all my music on mp3 now and it's much more convenient but on the flipside I couldn't name half the song/album titles anymore. It's much harder to form an attachment to an artist or song without a physical product that you can cherish IMO.

Nice thread!
But also a very hard question like jazzy said:)
So much has happened in my crazy life, and i am not easily defined by just one song, however, after thinking hard and long about it, there is one song that always, without exception brings me back to a certain point in time, which was possibly the happiest and most carefree of all my life so far.. Still hope i can top that period:)

To let you into my memories a bit:
I first heard this song when i was 17. It came to pass when i attended a very controversial school with possibly a bit too much freedom for most teenagers, and had made a pretty awkward "move" on the hottest Arts-teacher i had ever laid eyes on, she was pretty wild, looked like some rockin chick with that typical huge afro like head of curly blond hair, and was incredibly cool to talk with.

One day she came to collect us for class, when me and a mate were hanging out in the aula where we were playing a bit of ping-pong, after she told us to come, she turned her back to me and then my "move" was i actually fondled her bum :lolup:

Don't know what got into me, but i couldn't resist and that is exactly what i blurted out when she looked back at me quite surprised..
Expecting a slap in the face, and some huge trouble afterwards with the principal, instead: she leaned towards me and whispered in my ear "we will have to discuss this after class"

You can probably imagine that i couldn't even act normal that whole class, and was actually shaking with anticipation as i really had a crush on her, but finally the class ended and we talked a bit, pretty awkwarsd still on my end, but she calmed me down a somewhat, and gave me her address where i was to come by later to have dinner, and then discuss the matter further:p

So i brought some weed, she cooked me one of my best meals ever, and vegetarian too, we drank the most amazing wine (never had drank wine before, after tasting it once when i was younger and spitting it back out, thinking all wine was disgusting like that)
Then we smoked some weed, all the while having great conversation about the magic of life, art people and whatnot.

Then she put on this song... i really spaced out, all the world was opening up to me, many things i had seen and heard off, things i had read and things i had pondered or imagined all fell into a place, where it made sense:)
It was like enlightenment, sort of. Then we kissed, and that lead to the most fantastic sexual experience i had so far, and the best morning after experience i have had in my whole life.

Now whenever i hear this song.. it's magic:thumbsup:
I choose this song since it reflects both a turning point in my life, and one of my best memories ever.

She bought you croissants and coffee in bed? You lucky b**stard!! :eek:

:lolup:

Well to be completely accurate, she made tea with rose leaves, and some homemade bread with old cheese, right after that i got coffee and a joint, we stayed in bed all day, and then went out to dance at night:)

And it's not quite gentleman-like to tell, but before that tea was served, i was woken up quite uniquely with an act of selflessness on her part which was at the time also a new experience for me :smilewink:

Well there just went my Moscato all over the screen:D

I asked my hubby Frank what his one song was and he said no doubt this song , it reminds him of sitting around a fire by the ole Mississippi river passing a joint drinking little Miller ponies and hanging out with his buddies , what can I say I married a Louisiana Man;)

Didn't know that song from the Doobie brothers! cheers for sharing, loved it:)
 
The Real McCoy's "Another Night" - that was released at the tail end of a carefree year I'd spent many prior years planning and saving for, in my late 20's, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Brings it all back...

Just recently had a reunion (that sadly I had to miss), but it was fun texting (and even talking on the phone) with old friends with whom I hadn't connected in literally decades - anyway, it got me all nostalgic, since some of my classmates have either passed or are seriously ill, and now I put "Just The Two Of Us" on heavy rotation on my mp3 player - I remember when that came out, how young I was, my whole life ahead of me, lots of plans - some of which went off spectacularly, others which didn't come to fruition, but listening to this song brings bittersweet tears to my eyes. :)
