Love it mate. Sorry for you for going through that shitty time but glad there was positivity in here. The beauty of music right here. Thanks for sharing!WestwayKid wrote: ↑24 Jul 2019, 10:15amComa Girl always takes me back to the summer of 2016.

Re: Songs That Take You Right Back
I had a somewhat similar experience with my daughter and Johnny Appleseed. No divorce woes at the time thankfully but it was our song for a while, that whole album actually. She's a young adult now and has her own musical tastes that don't always align with mine but she got herself a nice Know Your Rights shirt a few years ago.WestwayKid wrote: ↑24 Jul 2019, 10:15amComa Girl always takes me back to the summer of 2016.

Came up on the iPod today and, bam, it was like I was in 1986 (but in a good way).

Breakout - Swing Out Sister
Always enjoyed this happy tune but I'll forever remember it coming on the radio in August 2017 and Alex ringing me at work, something she never does. Anxious what the news was, I was over the moon to find out 1, she was absolutely fine and 2, more importantly, that she just found out she was pregnant.

The song does little for me personally. But that's a real nice touch all the same mate.BitterTom wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019, 7:59amBreakout - Swing Out Sister

Money On My Mind - Sam Smith
The stations were avidly playing this 2013/2014. Just moved up north, unsure if I'd made the right decision. Being grown up for the first time, discovering the delights of council tax and PAYE deductions. However come the start of 2014 I was set up on a double date, not expecting much, I met Alex and thought she was amazing and I had to get to know her more. Always associate this song with that sort of time, as I was telling Alex an hour ago.
She's always hated it apparently.
