Although I can't like Golden Brown from The Stranglers because of its subject matter (heroin), I find it an extraordinarily hypnotic song. I dance to the song with my ex girlfriend, and because of the effect of the music, during that song our minds merged into one  - an experience I will never forget until the day I die.

Strangely enough the guitarist Hugh Cornwell was also involved in the writing of Chardonnay, one of the songs on Cerys Matthews' Cockahoop.

So I played it at his funeral - much to the consternation of my family who are sooo high brow But it was for him and as the coffin went behind that curtain, I sobbed..

. Oh Isadora that's made my eyes fill up, but how lovely that the song reminded him of your mum
I still can't hear it  now without having a tear... its such a lovely song.

Because the Night - Patti Smith Reminds me of my late sister, she died in her early thirties but as a teenager played this record (in our shared bedroom) until it nearly broke. Whenever I hear it played I am reminded of her and  am transported back to happier times. Always makes me smile
That's lovely FF xxx

So sorry to hear about your sister.

That's one of my all time favourites too, my kids love it and they always used to ask me to play it in the car, we'd all sing really loudly so it has happy memories for me too.

I have loads of favourite songs, couldn't pin it down to just 1 (or even 50)...it changes depending on my mood.

Today it's April Skies-Jesus And Mary Chain.
