tunes that touched you

[BOD]

Everyone always says which was your favourite oldskool tune and if most people on this site are like me, there is no way you could pinpoint one. But for me there are certain songs that you remember in an intoxicated state that just transport you back to a venue and time in your life over many years that get the hairs standing up on the back of your neck for whatever reason...............

For some it could be 1989, 1993, 2000. We have all experienced it at different times but you all can remember them times when a tune just hits home big time the first time youve heard it and you look round the place and everyone is just on it big time and it sticks in your mind, no matter how battered you was or is now

A few that stick in my mind are :-

Cano Knows what mine is, few years ago in Manchester little old me from Guernsey went to meet the OSA crew at a Timeless Club night (For the 1st time) and his last tune in his set was this, He put it in as a request from me, Id never had the chance to go out to nights like this as a kid and loved every minute of it!

Thanks to OSA I was able to!

Very very special tune for me!

Guaranteed to take the roof off (funny though when I listen to this I always hear True Faith - Take Me Away.. Sasha is a true genius)


there's loads though for most peeps

 

[Lozzie]

omg, so many to choose from. A few have been put up already actually...

Rachel Wallace (my fave tune when I was 19...I used to go mental when it was played).

Fucking bang on Norriss with Collapse. A beauty of a tune...and got given to me by an old friend - also, THINK TANK...

And I think someone put up B-sides also...fkin crack on!


I'm going to pick this - [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tSDbSlPMY6o&feature=channel_video_title]YouTube - ‪Alfredo - Action! (Piano Mix)‬‏[/ame]

If we're talking about songs that touch your soul, this is one for sure. I'm not normally an Italo kinda girl...and when I first heard it, I'd strayed from 'piano' house, and was liking tougher stuff generally...so this tune is a bit of an anomaly. When someone cracked it out...it was like nothing I'd heard before. It reminds me of someone getting up early in the morning, to elope to their new life...leaving the past behind...lol, cheesey I know, but it just does.


There are probs more...this is a very hard quezzie.

THE DADDY

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2MtUXW4_0BY]YouTube - ‪Last Rhythm - Last Rhythm‬‏[/ame]

Was listening to this with Jo on a sesh the other week in the morning. Had it on the decks, full blasting out of the speakers. And this tune does the business. Totally original, its mellow yet you can have it large if you want.

One of the best dance tunes going imo

Been touched by it loads of times, ooh err. Its amazing hearing this on a top soundsystem in a rave, proper atmospheric
