Title: One song to take to desert island!
Post by: gunnerbee on March 19, 2008, 14:45:05
probably been done before, but with so many great songs and you are only allowed ONE to take, which would it be?

Not sure about a song but music would have to be Vivaldi's Four Seasons :)

I like that link, I ended up watching the version of Paul Rogers singing  with Queen, I am well impressed! ;D

Can't isolate just one song though, I think whatever I chose I would be sick of it in a month...

Prince - Purple Rain - without a doubt the best song ever written, it still makes me cry!  :'(

Hard to narrow it down to one song for me - but, no woman, no cry - Bob Marley would be in with a shout. I'm not a huge Bob Marley fan really, but there's something about that song that just makes you wind down and relax!

Don't know about one song, but one group I'd have would be Girls Aloud, but it wouldn't be for their singing skills.  :o

Don't you normally choose 10 then narrow it down to one.
There is a few more I couldn't be without.
Easy to narrow it down to one but not 10.....

Whoa, forget my previous link.

This performance (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq_SgN75C_U) of Va Pensiero is much better.  Has the words too.
