So I'm doing the song meme again. This time my words came from
ranuaShe gave me Iron, Yellow, Joy, Snow & Family
So......
Iron
The Alarm - Deeside (A band not hugely known outside of the UK but they were part of my rebellious teenage years, not least because I would follow them from gig to gig when I was 15 telling my parents I was at friends houses when I was more likely sleeping on a bench in a train station having missed the last train back from wherever I'd been to see them
The opening line of the song is 'The iron gates clang in this steel mill town' and it s about the closing of the steel mill & how it destroys the town..... I guess that happened the world over......

Counting Crows - Big Yellow Taxi
Counting Crows are one of my favourite all time bands, got into them back when 'August & Everything After Came out' and they're still one of my 'go-to' bands

Journey - Wheel in the Sky.
I went to see Journey play at Hershey on my honeymoon. My overriding memory of the evening was seeing them play this, hubby standing behind me with his arms wrapped around me & me thinking that life was pretty damned perfect at that exact moment in time.

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Snow (Hey-Oh)
I have a love hate relationship with RHCP - I loved their earlier stuff & then they seemed to go too 'mainstream' but at the same time some of the later tracks I just adore, they're just not one of the bands that I rush out & buy the new album anymore

New Model Army - Family
Another band not particulalry well known outside of the UK & a few northern European countries. My late teens rebellious phase...... its just this one involved festivals, hitchhiking & illegal substances.... good times indeed...
