'Monsieur L'Abbe' by Michel Polnareff (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFtGt2N-3hk)

Met a new friend Yann - she's visiting from France. I started playing these Polnareff oldies for her and she gushed for home.
Having recently re-discovered this after one year not hearing it has already made my year.
Thank you, Yann and Li, for all your friendship; let's never let this end.

Man, I love all kinds of music. Heavy metal, R&B, Hip Hop, Pop, videogame soundtracks, 8-bit chiptunes, the list is endless!^^
One song that always gets me going and inspired is I Believe I Can Fly by R. Kelly. Loved it since I first heard it off of Space Jam a couple decades ago and I sing along to it to this very day! ;D
all interesting, great choices! <3
VNV Nation - Illusion (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=evpGu3eO0pY)
another favorite: Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa
a funny, slightly wistful tale of a garage band that drifted apart, unusual for a Zappa song to display what appears to be genuine sincerity.
This song was based on the 1979 band members' experiences with their first bands.
Hehe. This one suits me well. :icon_chick:

She is also my favorite pop artist. :)
Now Is Here (Clannad) - I had this played at my wedding, there's something particularly magical about it that's always spoken to me on many levels.
In The Stone (Earth, Wind and Fire) - my favourite EWF track, this never fails to pick me up.
Englishman In New York (Sting) - "Confront your enemies, avoid them where you can/A gentleman will walk but never run", "Be yourself no matter what they say"
These Colours Don't Run (Iron Maiden) - a statement of courage, duty and defiance cemented by Bruce Dickinson's use of the phrase during the Eggfest incident.
The Show Must Go On (Queen) - though in general songs have lives beyond any single rendition I feel uncomfortable with cover versions of this as this is so defined as Freddie Mercury's swansong - to deliver that performance (not just this song but the album Innuendo as a whole) while dying, knowing it would be his last - I only hope I could go out that way.

A favorite thing is something that you have returned to over and over again over a long period of time, so like years I guess? That is just my opinion though. Anyways, it is this song apparently.

Pretty much anything Thomas Bergersen composes, but I always have been loyal in saying that "El Dorado" is my favorite piece he did even though I still find new ones that I really love.

Probably the song I'll never tire of hearing is Miriam Makeba's Pata Pata. Manfred Mann's Pretty Flamingo is probably my second favourite. Like most people of my generation I can also spend a lot of time listening to the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, the Beach Boys and Creedence.
I think that part of what makes a favourite song is remembering the events that took place when first I heard it.
