Happy Songs From Your Youth

[237SJ]

The local radio station is playing I Have Only Have Eyes For You by Art Garfunkel. I had completely forgotten about that song. Which songs bring back memories from your youth?

I don't have any happy songs from my youth, I was a Goth - all black clothes, tragic messy dyed hair and oozing misery and angst (and don't remember actually being miserable either).

The other day, I was talking to a colleage and she said that we were so lucky to be born when there was such good music about. I agree with her.

I'm back there in 1965, a 17 year old with the world at my feet, mum and dad were telling me to get a job but I wanted to be a hippy ....... looking back they were right and I was wrong, but there's nothing wrong with having dreams.

early rock 'n' roll... so early he was born before the First World War. Great stuff, though.

An era when most tunes had a message & singers were tuneful. These days apart from a few really good tunes which come over occasionally there is an awful lot of garbage.

I remember my mum saying the exact same thing in the late 70's onwards regarding music Ron.

I have a theory that we tend to stick the music of our youth, and anything beyond that we consider crap and can't wrap our heads round. It's a cruel reminder that music (popular) is for the young and not for us old farts.

[whiskeryron]

Oh BOO so true !!

Bobby Fuller about 1966 I think. I Fought The Law. Which of course was covered by the Clash, amongst others. Oh and Boo, I for one have not got stuck in the music of my youth. I love some of the new stuff. Keep rocking folks.
