Does the song remind you of anyone or anything?

Mind reminds me of an old friend who died of a drug overdose when he was 20. Everytime I hear it, I think of that friend.

Music is a powerful thing :-4

At the moment, my fave is "The Eternal Wheel" by Ozric Tentacles.

Has anybody ever written a song?

I used to write lyrics when I was a young man, and I even managed to write some music to some of them.

Posted one of my lyrics in the Pub one solitary night when no one was looking. That was a couple of months ago now. Wrote it in 1972.

We have something in common. I was born in 1972

I'd love to hear some of the lyrics.

We could start a forumgarden song

Is this 'Summer Breeze' ??

See the curtains hangin' in the window

In the evening on a Friday night

A little light a shinin' through the window

Lets me know everything's alright

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

See the paper layin' on the sidewalk

A little music from the house next door

So I walk on up to the doorstep

Through the screen and across the floor

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Sweet days of summer the jasmine's in bloom

July is dressed up and playing her tune

When I come home, from a hard day's work

And your waitin' there

Not a care in the world

See the smile a waitin' in the kitchen

Food cookin' and the plates for two

Feel the arms that reach out to hold me

In the evening when the day is through

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Summer breeze, makes me feel fine

Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind

Yeah it is the Seals & Croft song.

What makes thie Isleys rendition of this song is the stunning guitar hook and a virtuoso performance by Ernie Isley

My favorite song of all time is "Blue Velvet" by Bobby Vinton. I know I'm showing my age, but that song will outlast me!

The Brady Bunch ?!!?
That's a "yup".

That is the same song......recorded differently.

The artists I listed performed Summer Breeze as written by Seals and Crofts. I just thought I'd point out that other writers also penned songs called Summer Breeze, but, obviously, these are not the same song.

That was an excellent David Lynch movie too!

Didn't he do Twin Peaks.

I watched the whole series and the two films on a bank holidays weekend. I was so freaked out I couldn't sleep for weeks.

That's a nice song.

It makes me think of being out on the ocean on a dull windy day. The sea looks like Blue Velvet

Yes he did... and if anyone can explain "Mullholland Drive" to me, I'd be most grateful. The man's obviously as mad as a box of rocks.

Haven't seen this one but here's a good link:
