[Music] Post just two songs that transport you all the way back to your youth when you hear them

[Berty23]

youth covers quite a wide age range so I am covering younger youth and older youth.

Rhythm is a dancer (guessing 92 which was the year I became a teenager) - A brilliant dance track and the first my neighbour got for his fancy CD player.

Dario G sunchyme 1997 - sound track of my summer of carnage that I turned 18. Lots of things happened I won’t be telling my kids about. I grew up in south devon and this summer involved working long hours at a leisure park and lots of clubbing and beach parties.

Little White Bull - Tommy Steele
Let there be love - Nat King Cole

Kin ell, are you like a 100

Two songs (well one album and one song) that take me back to Christine Brown, the one that got away. Naff name, but astonishingly amazing girl.

She was a disco type girl, while I was more the Black Sabbath/Led Zep type of teenager. They were right out in the seduction stakes but Rumours was a great success.

Three and a half years later and Move Closer by Phyllis Nelson used to make me well up after she'd dumped me. 38 years on and hearing any of the songs still make me remember what a selfish and arrogant tw*t I was and what I lost.

Er no, but LWB came out in the early 60s when I was 7 or 8 and Nat King Cole was always on in our house. Kin cheek!

Two that always come to mind. I don't know why.

My yoof officially ended in 1983 for various life-changing reasons. The two tracks that take me there with a jolt are these. Ironically all this happned in Vancouver. And here I am again, in Vancouver, plotting the most exciting thing in my career (and having some R and R). Funny old world. Thanks [MENTION=19]Icy Gull[/MENTION] for the thread :

I could post all sorts of other pairs for other bits of my yoof but its all lovely and never mind, eh? (as they say in Vancouver, eh).

I thought everyone enjoyed side 2 of Meddle sitting on the floor of a darkened room with joss sticks burning (and passing round a joint)

Youth being early teens. The above 2, stuff that I still like now but rarely listen too.
