30 Day Song Challenge - Days 3 and 4

Yes, yes I know, I forgot to post day 3 yesterday. Well I did remember at one point but then forgot it seconds later.

So today I have to come up with a song that makes me happy and a song that makes me sad.

This song always makes me want to jump around and have fun. Its a great one to exercise to.

The sad song has to be this one. I deliberately used this video as it explains why. The Falklands War was pretty emotional for me, I was young, in the Royal Navy and many of my friends went down there on ships. I watched it unfold on the TV never really knowing if they were safe. Even now 29 years on, I get a lump in my throat listening to this song.

  1. You're right - I love and adore dancing and my feet just started tapping away there! As for your sad memory - gosh, I adore that atmospheric song and can feel my own goosebumps so goodness knows how it must make you feel. My eldest was just a tiny baby during the falklands and I remember vividly feeling sad that the joy of his birth would always be associated with the pain and savagery of war.
