song memories

random songs playing and bringing all kinds of thoughts and memories......

Blue Oyster Cult: "Don't Fear the Reaper"
sitting in the union at CP, with M and S and P and J and wee Jimmy behind the bar, and the atmosphere full of smoke and chat and life and freedom

David Bowie: "Absolute Beginners"
first time at the pictures after starting C St; and standing in the wee old kitchen looking right out down across all the back gardens, down to the sea.......

and Bowie's "Heroes"....just a favourite, just because.....

Cher, thank you

what is it about Cher that cheers me up so much? Rhetorical question really, kind of, since it doesn't matter much to me why....just glad it does.

And as soon as I hear "If I Could Turn Back Time" the video runs in my head......I love it, I love it. I don't car that it's kitsch and camp and tacky, I just.......love it. Brightens me up.

and that is A Good Thing :)

The Eagles

listening to "One of These Nights"........instant flashback to college, and freedom for the first time; free from him, free from them, free to be me, to find out about other music, other people...... the whole feeling brought back just on hearing that song.....really good to feel it again.....

thank you, Phyllis, for introducing me to The Eagles(and blowing a raspberry at 'him'...... who was irritated at my liking something he hadn't introduced me too.........)
