Ah yes I agree - that's what I love about Desert Island discs too - the fact that the music has such strong associations with some moment in out past that we can never hear it without some of those feelings or memories chiming in our hearts - or stirring depths of our soul that were sleeping.Lori wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 7:58 amNights In White Satin brings back so many feelings for me. A bit of hauntingly sweet forlorn love sung here. (Confession: My sisters and I used to come up with stories at night in the dark when we were supposed to be sleeping - complete with assigned characters and music. Nights In White Satin played a prominent role!My main male character was named Davey and he was a whole lot like someone some of us love...HRS Mr. Salvatore. Fun-ish fact? My girl character was Lori which isn't a stretch as it is my middle name!)
I love songs that are of a time and bring back so much!
Somehow we 're right back in a space frozen in time.
This song has intense associations for me too; I was independent for the first time and after being at a Moody Blue concert I walked home as dawn was breaking (it was early June). The walk was through hedgerows and meadows - no roads involved here. There was blossom and fresh growth everywhere you looked, greeness that seemed to sing its very colour and the dawn chorus was in full voice. Everything was full of newness, of hope, of growth and the pure joy of YES.
