Lou Reed, Walk on the Wild Side – 1972
Artist of an era. I loved his music and his voice. Raw material and I was a fan.
All those songs offered in this challenge mean a lot to me. Because music doesn’t come naturally to me. There are days I don’t listen to music at all. I like the quiet. That’s why I loved to remember all those special songs in my life. Thanks for that!

Simply Red, Holding Back The Years - 2018
Music is not a big deal in my life. So, when a song is still somewhere in the back of my mind it means something. I love this song. It reminds me of my past when I was younger when Life was busy but pleasant.

Opus, Live is Life, 2007
Just a little nothing in music, but it kept me humming all day when I heard it on the radio. Sometimes it’s just fun to sing along with a song like this.

Joe Jackson, Is She Really Going Out With Him?
In my younger years, I was a huge fan of Joe Jackson. I bought all his LPs and listen to all of his music. I saw him once in Amsterdam on stage. A great evening. I cherish the memory.

Melissa Etheridge, Like The Way I Do – 1988
Etheridge was one of the great singer/songwriters I saw in real life when she was on tour in Europe. A great event, a big stage with a table and a chair and Melissa Etheridge with her guitar. A great evening with friends.

Peter Hamill, The Love Song - 2011
I remember sitting on a rock in Greece near the sea listening tot his song. It was enchanting. So beautiful. And every time I hear this sound I am back in Greece. It’s been a while since I was on holiday somewhere on the Greek islands. I am planning to visit again in the near future.

Fine Young Cannibals, Johnny come home – 2014
One of the singles I bought in my youth and danced on. I had not heard this in ages. It was fun to get reacquainted again.

Talking Heads, Burning Down the House – 1983
Every time I listen to the Talking Heads it’s down to Memory Lane. I loved those guys especially the lead singer and guitar player David Byrne. It was the time of festivals and demonstrations against the nuclear bomb, apartheid, and injustice. I was very active in those days.

Stevie Wonder, Superstition – 2009
When I was 15 I was a huge fan of Stevie Wonder. I remember that I always went to the store to buy a single or an LP of Stevie. Not only did I liked his music, I secretly had a crush on the salesman in the music store who sold me the music. He was a huge fan too and could tell me everything about Stevie Wonder. Fun times.

Madness, Our House – 1982
I flirted with Punk back then. You always could dance on music by Madness. It was another era. I was very much British oriented in those days.

Fleetwood Mac, The Chain – 1977
In my early twenties, I was living together for a few years with my best friend’s brother. We owned this album Rumours from Fleetwood Mac and loved this song in particular. It was the time of road trips to Great Britain, former Yugoslavia, and Greece. Young and happy times!

R.E.M., Losing my religion – 1991
An oldie, but a great one. Back in the days, it was a great hit and I rediscovered it again. It brings back memories of when I was young busy working, studying and traveling.

Leonard Cohen, Thanks for the Dance – 2020
I know I was shocked when he died in 2016. Cohen was a great singer/songwriter and a real poet. His lyrics, as well as his voice, were legendary. I always take time to listen to his music, it’s that awesome!

Keiino, 2019 – Spirit in the Sky
Spring 2019. Eurovision Song Contest. A big deal in Europe, Russia, and Israel. This Norwegian song was the best in my opinion and for a lot of others although my country The Netherlands won. But the Norwegians were a hit with that special sound of Fred Buljo (the bold singer). He sang in a special language which was an instant hit. I loved this song very much, it kept me mesmerized for weeks. Since then I try to follow him on FaceBook every time he has a new song.

David Bowie, 2002 – Heroes
He died of cancer in 2016. I thought about him a great deal this past year. His music, his lyrics, his presence and the way he stood out in the crowd. A great musician.

B.B. King, 1993 – The Thrill is Gone
I have seen B.B. King live in the Netherlands in North Sea Jazz festival in Rotterdam. It was 1985 I think. It was with my then-new love Ron. King was larger than life, with his voice, his body, his music. So enormous and engaging. I love his music and the memory of a great time.
