Soundtrack to my life
Earliest memories
I can’t believe I am admitting this but my earliest memory is of Donny Osmond – Puppy Love! I don’t even like the song but my mum used to listen to it all the time on vinyl and she would sing along… now that’s something I will never forget.
Growing up
My mate Alana who I went to primary school with always got her dad Stuart to do the end of term school discos and we always requested Steps – 5,6,7,8 and to this day it makes me want get up and show my line dancing “moves”
High School/College Years
I remember sitting in the sports café at Peter Symonds College with my feet on the chairs, eating a cookie and searching through my purse to find change for the jukebox. I would always play The Proclaimers – 500 Miles as I absolutely love it and it always made everyone in the room smile.
Falling in Love
I think that The Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter is such a sexy, chilled out tune. You can’t help but fall in love with someone playing this one.
Breaking up
Now hundreds of women will know what I mean here but this song from Pretty Woman makes me want to cry and sing along at the same time. I think Roxette – It must have been love is my way of clinging on to the fact my Richard Gere/Mr Darcy-esque man is out there… somewhere.
Going clubbing/parties
I think the music coming out of my room is better than when I get to the clubs sometimes, but Muse – Supermassive Black Hole is always guaranteed a play while I am getting ready to go out.
Growing old/funeral song
When my nanny died of ovarian cancer back in Feburary 2006 it really hit me hard and almost ended my future in journalism. Westlife’s – You raise me up was a favourite song of hers after we had bought her the album and a walkman for Christmas which she could listen to in hospital. She requested that the song be played at her funeral and over a year later I still cannot listen to it.
