donsdaft Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Music wise. What song signalled your passage from boy to young man. Not in a sexual way ( necessarily) just the song that made you waken up to the real world. Joni did it for me, I left the caravan ( in 1970) and by the time I reached Lossimouth beach I was thinking of other things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocket_scientist Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Brilliant question. Good thread. Not actually applicable for me as it wasn't music that got me into girls. I was in love with girls in primary school. Can still remember my first loves and my early fantasies, mostly rescuing damsels in distress. I can't remember when I didn't love music either and Joni Mitchell one of my all time favs, although not necessarily that song. A Night at the Opera was my first LP. Led Zeppelin were the band I got heavily into in the 70's. Women are still the biggest driver for me. I fucking love women. More than anything else.

Gervaise_Brookhampster Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Not in a sexual way but this song seemed to be a milestone in my growing up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten Caat Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Probably get pelters for this but song that reminds me of the first time i fell in love ( tho I was too immature to do anything about it) was when I was 11.......Sandy by John Travolta in Grease. This was in 1st year at high school the girl in question ended up going out with a 6th year when we were in 2nd year. And now aged 50 she looks like a horse ( seriously) and dresses like a 1930s housemaid. I suppose time hasnt been too kind to me either though....

Buc Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Was when this song was in the charts that I fancied my rather mature weighty neighbour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MálagaSheep Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Ma father had never a great taste in music, but the week before he got killed, he sat with friends in his house and a discussion about funerals was spoke about and this was the song he wanted played at his funeral when it came, dont think he wanted it played so soon tho! As i stood over his coffin looking down on his casket with his name and the Dons scarf he had stuck on his lorry window, and this music playing, i said to myself "malaga its time to grow the fuck up, who the fuck is going to watch over me and keep me right, i have to fill his shoes" I never will but i always try. From that day on i changed into a man, time to face the real world! Sorry its a bit sappy, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupie82 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I suppose for me it was when I first decided to listen to something I wasnt much used to at the time. My dad had a great taste in music, but I never really appreciated it and often just listened to pop. In 1994 i was given an album for my birthday of a band i had never even heard of. It sat in my room for a few weeks, still sealed and gathering dust. I was sitting next my mate on the bus to school one day and he was listening to what I would call his usual rubbish. He always tried to get me to listen to his stuff, but i was never keen, as he was into the Doors and the Beatles, which wasn't my sort of thing at all. Anyways, i chucked on the headphones and heard for the first time; Live Forever.. it changed me right there and then. My mate told me the band was Oasis and I told him that I got their album for my birthday, but never opened as i had never heard of them before. The song gave me goosebumps and stuck in my mind all day. As soon as got home i threw on Definitely Maybe and to this day it still remains one of my all time favourite albums. Not everyones cup of tea, but i had changed from listening to child pop, to some more grown up music!! Malaga... it's not soppy at all!! I had the very same song played at my Grandads funeral and it always reminds me of him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
