For years the song 'everything I own' as sung by the band Bread was just another song. I never listened to the words.
Then one day I was listening to the radio whilst driving and the song was discussed and it was written by David Gates as a tribute to his late father. At his fathers funeral, his uncle told him that although he hadn't seen his father for a while due to touring with the band, his father had said that he was very proud of him. I carried on driving and they played the song and I listened to every word. I stopped at the next layby and sobbed. A few weeks earlier I'd lost my grandfather who I was very close to and miss every day. '' I would give everything I own just to see you once again'' Nearly two years on I still can't listen to the song . |

Only Tender Love .
By the Scottish band Deacon Blue. Anyone who ever lost a long time love only to be saved by a long lost lover ( as I was ) will get the lyrics . Also a great track. Last edited by FLYER; 16th June 2014 at 23:45.. |

I was at the funeral of a very close friend only last Saturday the wicker casket was carried out to One Day Like this by Elbow. Many tears shed and I cant get the song out of my head. Dave

Various songs strike various emotional responses with me, but the one that always bring a lump to my throat is, The British Soldier, by Harvey Andrews. Based on an actual event, where Sergeant Michael WILLETTS GC, shielded others using his body, after a bomb was thrown into a police station he was in.

'Cascada, Every time we touch' always seems to make me stop and reflect for some reason.
