Making Up My Own Words.

So, today after Church today, I went to the shops, while walking around the Town, I heard a song! It stopped me dead in my tracks. I hadn’t heard it for many years, and I loved, loved the song! I didn’t know what it was called, but the tune was just perfect.

The tune had triggered something beautiful in my head, and I wanted to get home and type in the few words that I ‘knew.’ I didn’t know who the artist was, no idea!

Back at home, the tune was still playing happily around in my head. I say happily, for sometimes, just before bed, an advert comes on the telly and a tune I hate, always seems to come on, just before I go to bed, and it plays around loudly in my head, as I lay there in bed trying to get it out! It is not going out, nor is it going away! To prove its point, it is still shouting in my head in the morning.

The tune, I heard today, I couldn’t get enough of, and wanted even more.

I remembered, ‘The Big Bang Theory,’ Where Sheldon couldn’t, get the tune out of his head, he just kept humming it, until one day, suddenly there was a trigger and suddenly he remembered it.

Sitting down, confidently, I typed in the few fractured words that, I did know, and typed them into my phone. One of my favourite films came up, ‘My Fair Lady’ with a song from it, I knew that wasn’t it, because this was a song from my youth.

I kept trying, no joy, it was very frustrating I didn’t’ even know, how to sing the song out loud, I was too embarrassed to sing it to Paul, who too would have known the ‘song’ I persevered, then bingo!

I played it and read the comments below, here are a few:-

“This song came on the radio at work, so I wrote down the lyrics I could hear, then came across this song! It’s great.”

“Heard this song, instantly brought back memories of when I was young. How did I go this long forgetting this song?”

“January 6th 2024, I just heard this in the grocery store. Googled it and listen to it on the way home again. Good stuff!”

“Love this song! God bless the 80’s.”

“Who is still listening to this great tune 2022 I am, miss the 80’s been along time since I heard this song, I just stopped driving pulled over and reminisce, great times.”

“I miss the 80’s We were SO lucky to have been alive them, to all my school friend, I wish you the best.”

“Complete masterpiece! Wish these older songs would get more recognition.”

“Love this song….takes me back in time, I just at the age never realized that one day the lyrics will be resonating so strongly with my life.”

“One of the best songs ever written.”

“I remember hearing this song a couple of times back in the day. Such an incredible chorus rhythm….the lyrics. I didn’t get the singers name or anything like that.”

“This song takes be back to my childhood.”

“I first head this song on an old battery-operated radio I used to listen to before I went to sleep. I’ve loved it ever since. A proud child of the 80’s.”

“This song is ageless fantastic rhythm!”

“Loved this song growing up and now I love it even more.”

“I was driving home today, and this song came on the radio, and I got swept with a rush of nostalgia that took me back to a place where I would love to go again I ‘ve heard this song a million times but I’ve never actually listed to the words and I can honestly say it resonates with my live so much and relatable. Absolutely love this totally give me the feels and I’m so please I have heard this song today.”

There were many more, fabulous comments.

When I was younger, like many others there was no internet, and so some of the songs, all the words to the songs were not always caught, so would make up my own, of what I thought it was, and years later, with the real words, were made known, I would still like my own words better! Or worse, found out the song wasn’t as innocent as I thought it was.

So, what was this amazing song?
