This 30 days has really gone on longer than it should! But the problem with this particular 'day' is that I know the words to far too many songs and I can't pick a single one. I'd pick most of Bon Jovi, Boyzone, Backstreet Boys, Bryan Adams, Joshua Radin, Michael Jackson, Elvis quite a few.
So after much thinking...
That is what I picked. And not only do I know the words to it. I sometimes write my own depending on my mood!

Day 07: A song that reminds you of a certain event
Hmm...so many events and so many memories!
But I think it would have to be Country Road. Not because it was an actual event but when the nights were cool and the days were warm and the skies were starry, Mum, Dad, my sister and my uncle and I would sit out in the garden singing songs. And that tradition began when I was about 3 and now I'm 23.
That song was the one we all knew the words backwards and forwards and it had to be sung every time we had a sing song session.
Simple times now seem so far...they used to be in my back yard!

Day 06: A song that reminds me of somewhere
It's a bit of an easy one for me!
Easy peasy lemon squeezy!
Chris Daughtry. HOME.
I'm going home...to a place where I belong. Where your love has always been enough for me.
Embedding is not allowed so go take a look...HOME - Daughtry

Day 05 : A song that reminds me of someone
Ok this song actually reminds of two people. One is Nick Flegg and the other is David Rose. The three of us were at Dundees Sports Bar in good old Poole, Dorset attending yet another one of the Tuesday Night Karaoke session.
So our mate Nick picks GOLD! Yea yea that 80's song by Spandau Ballet go have a look at it.
But here's the funny part...suddenly while Dave and I are busy cheering him on and singing along too...Nick darling decided (completely unaware) to burst into the IPSWICH TOWN FOOTBALL TEAM version of the song. So the lovely classic song turned into a footy chant. I'll out down the lyrics of what it should have been and what it was!
ORIGINAL PLAYING ON THE BIG SCREEN FOR ALL TO SEE AND SING
Gold
always believe in your soul
you've got the power to know
you're indestructible
always believe in, because you are
gold
And our lad sang this instead
Alan Lee.. goal,
Always believing,
Always believe he will score,
You got the power to know,
You're indestructible,
Always believing...
He didn't realise but the entire bar was looking puzzled while Dave and I nearly died laughing!
The next time we went he sat on the sidelines! :p
So everytime I hear this song I get a stitch afterwards from laughing too hard!
Good times! Good times!

Day 04 : A song that makes me sad
Many songs make me sad...it's quite sad. But sad not in a bad way but in a really emotional way. And I think it's got more to do with the video of the song or perhaps a negative association because of something happening to someone else.
Whatever it is it makes me sad. And now writing this is making me a bit sad.
I've dug out the original version written by Wayne Cochran in 1962 and originally performed by Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Riders. Apparently it was about two 16 year olds on a date earlier that year and the song played out in reality. :(
It has been covered as we all know and because Pearl Jam's version is so beautiful I've put them both up.
And Pearl Jam one is at this link. It's not an original vid so didn't want to embed it.
And yea this one is a day late.
