PussEKatt Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 We have a few threads with songs and the latest is "Songs that make you cry" How about your very best song ? This thread should be full of really fantastic songs.Ill start with, "Unchained melody" by the Righteous brothers. 1 1
bielesibub Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 best song all depends what my mood is, normally I meander all over the place when I'm listening to music, I do love this though - takes me back to the start of my 2nd year in Pompey. 1
blandy Posted August 19, 2023 Moderator Posted August 19, 2023 It's not really possible to answer. I mean there's songs with great lyrics, songs with great playing, songs with great emotion or poignancy or which are linked with memories or... But for the sake of answering, this never fails to hit the spot 1
dAVe80 Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Impossible to answer. This was on an old playlist I made, and I'd not listened to for ages, and I did declare that it would be in my top 5 favourite songs ever. That's about as much as you're gonna get of an answer at this point. 1
picicata Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 Lots of choice but this always one I will come back to
Lichfield Dean Posted August 19, 2023 VT Supporter Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) On another day I might have gone with Cinema Show, but I think overall on balance right now I would go with this: Edited August 20, 2023 by Lichfield Dean Just realised there's a really weird edit on this version between Duke's Travels and Duke's End. It's not meant to sound like that! Ah well. 2

useless Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 I don't joke and if I did it would be way better than that, I just thought of what could be my favorite song and thought of that, I've posted many versions on this forum as proof it really is my favorite song. If quesiton was what's favorite composition then would have been something different completely. 1
Marka Ragnos Posted August 19, 2023 VT Supporter Posted August 19, 2023 (edited) It's not impossible to answer, not at all. It's just unsatisfying to answer because it feels like I'm somehow losing all my second-place songs by declaring a first-place song lol. And, as others have said, it changes, too, almost daily. But what doesn't? All said, this has been my most enduring favourite for almost 30 years: Edited August 19, 2023 by Marka Ragnos
GarethRDR Posted August 19, 2023 Posted August 19, 2023 This is either going to devolve into the What Song Are You Listening To Now? thread or slip quietly into obscurity. And everyone saying there's no definitive answer either personally or otherwise is of course correct. That being said, if someone put a gun to my head, pain of death, threaten my family etc. for a single answer, I could actually give one... (At the risk that hasn't embedded properly as I'm currently sat in the Faraday cage on wheels that is a South West Train, my answer was At The Drive-In's Arcarsenal) 1

If quesiton was what's favorite composition then would have been something different completely. Oh, I have to say, that’s just … the best. It’s a brilliant song by two brilliant artists. The lyrics are more concrete and precise than ten years’ worth of many other songwriter’s works.

My mate was is friends with Steve Mackey's former wife. I didn't know this until he just dropped into a conversation that he'd once been on a pub crawl round london with Jarvis Cocker which included a pub quiz. Jarvis is a good quizzer. He seems to think Jarvis is a nice guy too. 1
