Songs that remind me of...

We all know that music evokes tons of memories of events or people from one time or another. Here are some songs that do this for me.

Mr Brightside by The Killers – IOW Festival 2013 with my brother Richard after being told off by my dad for being too drunk and chucking a bottle of water over my sister!

King by Years and Years – Skeleton 2015 season. Maddy and I are sort of in love with the band and we played them A LOT!

Rather Be by Clean Bandit – Lillehammer 2014. It was Alice’s alarm tone and she very nearly ruined it for me with the amount of times she presses snooze.

Every Kingdom album by Ben Howard – this reminds me of an ex. I introduced him to Ben Howard one evening when we were chilling at his, it was a really nice moment too.

We found love by Rihanna – this makes me think of nights out in Loughborough with Harriet, one of my best friends. She’s a massive fan. It also makes me think of tough bike sessions as it’s a great 

song to cycle to!

Call me baby by Carly Rea Jepson – JAYNE NISBET and warm weather training 2012 Monte Gordo!

Manfire aka Happily by One Direction – ‘We’re manfire, we are man fire!’ this was a car tune during our (JC, Sarah, Nony and Donald) time in Tenerife warm weather training last April. It isn’t called manfire (obviously) but until I check the playlist I can’t actually remember the actual song title!

3AM by Busted – as a teenage I was a huge fan and used to spend afternoons listening to them. For this particular song a friend of mine (Charlotte) and I used to headbang whilst laying on her bed?! We recently went to see McBusted and it did not disappoint.

Jump around by House of Pain – this song or a mash up version always reminds me of my brother and sister! For many Bestivals running we’d always meet for Jaguar Skills wherever it was and whatever the time and this tune was a classic. Some of my favourite festival memories have been from his sets (and the aftermath).

Everytime we touch by Cascada – this song is the song of my first girls holiday in Tenerife aged 17 with my best friends and one of their mums! It will without fail get me up on a dance floor even now.

Stronger by Kanye West (does he need a surname anymore?) – this song always takes me back to Fresher’s week 2007! It was played without fail every night and was huge.

Run by Snow Patrol. One of my favourite songs full stop. I’ve seen them twice at IOW Festival and the second time was just so brilliant and a great moment with my boyfriend at the time.

Guns and Horses by Ellie Goulding – one of my favourite artists. Her whole first album not just this song brings up memories of feeling really liberated one summer between Uni. I’d play it on the way to work with the sun shining and remember feeling pretty happy.
