Does anyone know it?
This song maybe

Youth Ahead wrote: Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day
The sun is so bright

That was the one I was singing, and I would never have got Youth Ahead in a million years (still don't recal the name)

I'm singing it in my head, but I can I recal who sang it?? not a chance (I want to say the Levellers or something but that is wrong I am sure)

AArgh so close!..If it comes back to you, let me know. Beautiful song.

The other tune that gives me goosebumps is Finland's eurovision song contest entry for 1976. I can't remember what that's called either, but perhaps rseppala can help me out

Youth Ahead wrote: Beautiful Day

It's a beautiful day
The sun is so bright
With the wind blowin gently through the baby blue sky
I know i've seen this day before
And i'm sure
I'll probably see it again

Wow.. I'm not sure if that's it though.. the song I'm thinking of was piano and english accent based, had a look at "Youth Ahead's" website and they seem to be yankee rockers... I'll investigate further though, thanks

Here's a list of the songs that were played in Blue Jam, a quick page search for "beautiful" and "day" doesn't bring up anything promising though

You might want to scan through still to see if it clashes any bells.

Thanks for that Juno.. I suspect I might have to dig out my jam tapes and see if I can find it again.. On the other hand, a few google searches turned up "I Believe" by Chris Isaak. It's not listed in that page either, and it looks like an incredibly soppy song, but it might be the right one.

"Clouds across the moon" by Rah Band.

Can't out-schmaltz that one!
Yeah I hear you on that one, it's on a cassette I have (Greatest hits of 1985 I think) *me scuttles off to Kazza to download *

Weird, I started up this thread again because I had downloaded it yesterday, yet here it is mentioned 2 months ago !!! Subconcious working overtime methinks

Under The Bridge - The Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

It's just an *incredibly* moving song for anyone that's hit that dark low point and beaten it. The last two Chilli Peppers albums contain some really heart-warming melodic music. Great stuff indeed.

Wish Fullfillment - Sonic Youth
(personal reasons)

One - U2
(its a beautiful song)

If - Pink Floyd

Escape is at hand for the travellin' man - The Tragically Hip

The story is great. You meet these people that are in exactly the same boat and you have a natural kinship. You say "Oh man, we gotta get together," you really hit it off, and then at end of the night you go your separate ways and continue doing your thing and probably never see them again. It's strange. But it's quite a common event, meeting people that you feel like you've known all your life, and then you really only know them for half an hour.

Christ, has no-one said fucking Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush yet.

I mean, I love METAAAAAAL!, so I've got no idea why this song gets me, but it does.

You may all mock now.

Oh, and on the subject of Mike Oldfield, I get chills from In Dulce Jubilo. Christmas memories, plus my liking for guitar instrumentals, are the reasons behind that one.

Aaarrgghh!!!

I can't explain just how much I HATE that song. It's got such an irritatingly cheery, christmasy melody it makes want to smash things. There are only two christmas songs that I have any time at all for and they are the Cocteau Twins versions of "Frosty The Snowman" and "Winter Wonderland" .

i'm lucky enough not to have heard that song too much and when i did actually start hering it, i didn't know what it was called.

of course, now i've got it on one of those "best christmas ever!" cd compilations. and it won't leave my head

As I said a loong way back in this thread - Greg Lake's 'I Believe In Father Christmas' and 'Fairytale Of New York' are my bestest Christmassy numbers.

I rather like Mr. .Oldfield's In Dulce Jubilo

But then I like Are you Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea and A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh as well so what do I know

I'm with SB on Greg Lake mind

Here's my two pence worth.

Kate Bush - This womans work

Peter Gabriel - father and son

Travis - Flowers in the window

Elvis Costello - Alison

So many sad songs!!

I *love* that song. It seems kind of cynical on the surface, but I think it's more of a lament for lost innocence. Totally takes me back to childhood Christmas excitement...
