Thanking miss-philosopher!

[PMRpro]

Earlier today miss-philosopher tried to post the link to "a feelgood song from childhood in London" - The Hollies and The air that I breathe. She seems to have tried twice and deleted both.

For some reason it is difficult to post YouTube links that work, I have had a lot of problems with some so I am trying to find one that works because I have just had a very pleasant half hour listening to it so wanted others to have the same pleasure!!

As you could see, my first attempt failed - but you can search using google or, if you got an email notification, you can get to it directly from the link in the email,

However - thanks to HeronNS who has shown me how (partly)!!!!!

No. Tried 3 or 4 versions. I suspect it's the ones that tik tok or others have started sponsoring.

Love this song. It was one of my favourites when my husband and I were courting lol. We will be celebrating our 50th Anniversary this coming October. We met when I was 13 and he was 14 and they all said it wouldn’t last 🤔

[Hidden in reply to Bird-67]

That's lovely. 🙂

Lighter shade of pale is what I remember - it is next on the mix I think.

No, we have got to 46 years without killing each other - and I was taken on one side a couple of times and told it was wrong ...

[Bird-67 in reply to PMRpro]

Yes love that one too, oh the nostalgia.

Think it was 1967

[Hidden in reply to PMRpro]

Hopefully this one works...I am now sick of the opening bars. 👍😉

[Bird-67 in reply to Hidden]

Am I right in thinking that Allan wrote this song for his then girlfriend who he went on to marry and is still with?

[Hidden in reply to Bird-67]

I don't know actually. But if so it's good....if you haven't spent all morning on YouTube trying to work out how to share it. 😂🤣😂

[nickm001 in reply to PMRpro]

How about this version , done as recently as 2018? It is amazing that he can still do it...Couldn't find "Lighter" Shade of Pale, but found Whiter Shade of Pale :).. starts at 4min into video

You are quite right - brain was in lockdown after playing trying to get it to post!!!!!

[Grammy80]

Those songs are priceless and always bring back memories. I can't remember where I put my phone...but I remembered so many of the words. Great fun.

Then I watched other videos for about 30 minutes....thanks~! 🎵🎶🎵🎶

[Hidden in reply to Grammy80]

That always surprised me. I listened to a song yesterday I hadn't heard since the early 80s and yet I knew it by heart. I do know it's beneficial for Alzheimer's patients who can sing songs when they can't remember a lot if their life. I worked with someone who was researching it. But I can't remember the outcome of the research or, for the life of me, her name. 🤦‍♀️🙄

[Grammy80 in reply to Hidden]

...maybe if you start singing again, her name will come to you~!

[Hidden in reply to Grammy80]

😂🤣😂

[Hidden in reply to Grammy80]

This is not her (obvs), but I found it interesting reading.

[Grammy80 in reply to Hidden]

That was really interesting, very, especially what was written about the composer of Bolero~! This info will also enable me to identify which parts of the brain are going first....but it sounds like I'll always have music~! xo

[Grammy80]

How is this one girls....?
