Patsy Cline was born on this day

 

So was Pigpen, a member of the 27 club unfortunately.

 

Riding my motorbike back from the farm to the village this morning for breakfast, i passed a cat ran over on the side of the road.

Immediately my brain tuned into The Doors live intro to Break On Through

Dead cat, dead rat
Can't you see what they were at?
Fat cat in a top hat
Thinks he's an aristocrat
Thinks he can kill and slaughter
Thinks he can shoot my daughter

Do other posters often involuntarily link real life experiences to songs they have heard, and yet perhaps not listened to for years? And yet there they are, way back deep into the brain.

 

 

 

 what a voice!

 

 

 

 

 

If you're not listening to this with severely elevated volume then you're doing the song (and yourself) a huge disservice.  The Pretenders with Room Full Of Mirrors off of their '86 Get Close album.

Associative thought process.  Just another way of ordering experience.  Happens all the time.  With music it usually works in the reverse for me.  Oftentimes when I hear a song I get not only visual memory flashes but the feeling of that time is recreated, too.  Michelle from the Beatles '65 Rubber Soul album always brings me back to Christmas in Germany in '66 with the quaint lit candles on the Christmas trees, which were still legal back then.
 

 

Dolly Parton ‎with the title track of her '74 album Jolene.

Kate Bush with Running Up That Hill off of her '85 Hounds Of Love LP.
 

 

I guess this was a major hit in the U.K. back in '69.  Not my cup of tea but I don't want to be too partial to my tastes in offering music up.  Sue Glover and Sunny Leslie with Brotherhood Of Man on United We Stand.
 

 

I can't imagine anyone here not having heard this number.  Shirley Bassey's '64 hit single Goldfinger.
