I had a great response to my blog post last week – What Music
Will you Listen to When You are 80 – I will share some of the responses through
tweets and facebook posts.This week I am pleased to share a guest post with you,
written by our very own Claire Selbie (owner, Musica Westmidlands), sharing her
memorable songs.
“The beauty of music is that it is so evocative. There are
so many songs that will always take me back to a particular time in my life and
that remind me of special people. Here’s a whistle-stop tour through some of my
favourites:
Stranger on the Shore
(Mr Acker Bilk) – One of my earliest memories is of hearing my Grandad play
this on the piano. Since then, it has remained a favourite – these days I play
along on the flute!
Brimful Of Asha
(Cornershop) – I have a vivid memory of listening to this song with my
oldest friend, Naomi in her bedroom. She’d bought the single (possibly the
first one she’d bought?) on TAPE! We must have been about 7/8 and were playing
with our teddy bears (cute). Whenever I go out and hear this song, it reminds
me of her.
Wonderwall (Oasis) –
Growing up with two older brothers, this was played loud and often in our house
when I was growing up.
Under Cover of
Darkness (The Strokes) – This song was my savoir in late night essay
writing sessions in my last year of uni.
It reminds me of too much coffee, notes spread all over my bedroom
floor, back-ache from sitting at my desk for too long and sleep-deprivation!
I’m A Cuckoo (Belle
and Sebastian) – I’ll finish with this song which brings back lovely
memories of dancing around the Big Top tent at Bestival this summer with some
great people. Listening back to it makes me feel happy, strong and free.”
Please keep sharing your thoughts with us!
