Soulsearch Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Hi, My very last Forum post as i am back to work Sunday think i have had far too much thinking time? My favourite song ever, the one i will never ever get bored of (hopefully) is Neo Experience - Paradise. I really do not know why?, i know there are lots of much better records around, it holds no specific memories for me at all, its not really the style of soul i ever listen to and too fast for me to dance to but for some reason i have been listening it to it for years and years, i would say monthly at least??? Keeping it "soul" really" but any other folks have a record that they always go back to and have never ever tired of it? how ever much you hear it. Obviously it can be out of your normal listening criteria/comfort zone Just interested really and just for FUN again..................... can be a £2.50 record or a £10,000 record, can be really common or can be stupidly rare. Just "One" song and reasons given will be nice to read if there are any. 1 1
