These are in no particular order, and not all 43 of them will have explanations !
1. Cherry Red by The Groundhogs
The song that I got my nick from.
2. Any Other Name (from the American Beauty OST) by Thomas Newman
Possibly the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard. It never fails to calm me.
3. Fix You by Coldplay
I first heard this around the time my friend Louise commited suicide. She is the thing I lost that I can’t replace, and she always understood why I might love someone even if it went to waste. Miss you always, baby girl.
4. Can’t See Me by Ian Brown
Used to listen to this with my ex in his car when we were first seeing each other. It reminds me of late summer evenings driving along to nowhere special looking fine and cool in a very noticable flash car with someone you really cared about. It is a happy sexy song to me. I will feel like that again with someone, one day.
5. I Love the Night by Blue Oyster Cult
Being introduced to BOC is one of the few things I am happy to have met my previous (the guy before my recent) ex for. This is a song that means warm summer nights and happy times for me.
