Most of these songs have been chosen for the song rather than the video.

Inside My Heart - David & the Giants

Julia Says - Wet Wet Wet

(This song always reminds me that God is the only one who can truly be 100% trusted with your heart)

(Video bites, but song is beautiful)

He's My Brother - The Hollies

Don't Cry Daddy - Elvis & Lisa-Marie

(I love this song for its harmony and the general message of the words)

(This song makes me think about how special father/daughter relationships can be)

I Won't Let You Down - PhD

Here's My Heart - David & the Giants

(This song's entrance into my life was perfectly timed...years after it was released. God knows exactly what He is doing)

(At age 15, this song made me wonder what ways I had let people down that people found it so easy to let me down)

I'll Be Over You - Toto

Days Are Numbers - Alan Parsons Project

(This song holds no romantic context for me. Rather it speaks vivdly to my heart about my father. I do not know his name. I have never seen his face. I never will be able to, and this song reflects my heartbreak at the recognition of the loss of him.)

(This song aptly describes my childhood in foster care. Days were indeed merely numbers. Although sung from the point of a view of a salesman, it really says it all.)

"California - Manfred Mann"

(Age 11, this song always made me feel so lost, left behind and lonely. Yet somehow, it comforted me too)

"Confusion - Electric Light Orchestra

("Dark is the road you wander and as you stand there under the starry sky, you feel sad inside." When I was twelve, confusion was the overriding thing in my life. This song became precious to me then for that reason.)

"Wildfire - Michael Murphey"

(In 1976 imagination was the saviour of my sanity. I used to swing really high on the swing staring out at the mountains while pretending I was riding on Wildfire far away from where I was.)

"I Go Crazy - Paul Davis"

(At age 10, the first few lines of this song used to haunt me intensly. Leaving people and never seeing them again, this song was scary and sad and made me feel emotions I preferred to simply forget.)

"Baby Come Back - Player"

"How Much I Feel - Ambrosia"

(Again, no romantic context here for me. At age 10, I thought of it as a general people thing.)

"I'm Not In Love - 10CC"

"What Is Life - George Harrison"

(This song is one of the most haunting that I have ever heard. As a kid, it was one of my faves)

(This song always reminded me of the street I lived in with my birth family until I was seven. It always made me feel homesick in an odd kind of way.)

"Who Loves You - The Four Seasons"

"Photograph - Ringo Starr"

(Another one of those songs that I first heard while still living at home. At seven when I left, it was the song that always took me back to familiar places.)

(1978 form 1 at Otaki College. This song always made me feel happy.)

"Fly Away - J. Denver & O.N John"

"Rocky Mountain High - John Denver"

(This was always one of those songs that, when I was a child, reminded me of how I longed to escape to normality. To be a kid in a proper family like most other kids. I always just simply wanted to fly away.)

(This was another of those songs that caused my need to fly away to strengthen and my sense of being trapped to intensify.)

"Wichita Lineman - Glenn Campbell"

"First Of May - Bee Gees"

(When I first heard this song it reminded me of my siblings. Especially my little sister who I missed a lot once I was taken away from home.)

(I always thought of my father when hearing this song as a kid. I do not know why it caused me to think of him, but it always made me feel incredibly sad because I think it made me suspect that I would never see him, that he would never come to me.)

"For Whom The Bell Tolls - Bee Gees"

"Wind Of Change - Bee Gees"

(At 13 this song always made me think about the mistakes that I had made and how I could have done things differently.)

(I normally steer well clear of vids that feature the written lyrics, but in this instance, I had no choice.)

"Time Passages - Al Stewart"

"Baker Street - Gerry Rafferty"

(Another one that made me think about my father. The lyrics in this song always made me think about how people lay other people to waste and do not even know it.)

("There's something back there that you left behind." In 1978, this song always had me looking behind me thinking about people who lay in the wreckage of my past.)

"Sentimental Lady - Bob Welch"

"Little Jeannie - Elton John"

(Freedom...at age 11 this always made me think of miles of green grass, tall trees, a gentle breeze and freedom.)

(1980 at Horowhenua College and my friend Jeannie who disappeared and who I never found again. To this day I still miss her.)

"Someone Saved My Life Tonight - Elton John"

(At nine years old, in 1975, all I wanted to do was step out in front of a fast moving car on my way to school, such was the level of misery I felt. The day I got the courage up to actually do it, a man stopped and yelled at me to get off the road. This song always reminded me of that day.)

"Magic Woman Touch - The Hollies"

"Seasons In The Sun - Terry Jacks"

"Gasoline Alley Bred - The Hollies"

(May 22nd 1974 was the first time I ever put a record on to play for myself. This was the first song I ever chose to listen to by choice and I loved it. It was a cold May morning and yet it was sunny. I made up a dance to this song too and performed if for my new foster parents. I was seven.)

("I know that we could have made it we had ideas in our heads. And I wish somehow we could have saved it, but we're Gasoline Ally bred." As a kid this song made me think about where I had come from. As a kid, it reminded me of my birth family and the complete and utter disaster that we were.)

"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again - The Fortunes"

"Jesamine - The Casuals"

(As a little girl, despite the circumstances, this song made me feel free as a bird.)

(Every time I was moved away from a home I would sit in the Welfare Officer's car with this song flitting through my head. Funnily enough, many of the times when I got moved, the weather was overcast or raining.)

"Follow You Follow Me - Genesis"

"More Than A Feeling - Boston"

(There is something absolutely sublimely gorgeous and cute about this peppy little song. I have always loved it even though I did not hear it until 1982.)

(There is only one volume that this song should be played at and that is LOUD! This song used to make me feel like I was flying when I was a kid. It really pepped me up...the guitar was always...stupendously wonderful to hear. One them "feel it in your veins" type of songs!)

"Yah Mo Be There - Michael McDonald"

"Rikki Don't Lose That Number - Steely Dan"

(aka: "Yah MO smack your face in if you play that one more time!")

"At The Rainbow's End - The Osmonds"

"Free Me - Uriah Heap"

(When I was 10/11 years old this was the anthem of my life. It described my misery & my hope)

"I Can't Live A Dream - The Osmonds"

"I'm Still Gonna Need You - The Osmonds"

"Love Me For A Reason - The Osmonds"

"Lemon - U2"

(44)

"The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore"
by
"Walker Brothers"

"Midnight Blue - Electric Light Orchestra"

(1978 - always loved the orchestral arrangement in this song...thanks to my music teacher Mr. Gordon)

(This is one of those songs I just always knew and loved. It must have been played a lot around me when I was very small because I actually do not know where I know it from and yet I know it back to front!)

"Nights In White Satin"
by
"Moody Blues"

"No Milk Today"
by
"Herman's Hermits"

(1967 this song came out. I was not even one yet. However, I remember standing at my window staring out and up at the moon listening to this song. Obviously that was a few years after this came out. It is a fave of mine too.)

("But all that's left is a place dark and lonely,
a terraced house in a mean street back of town." Another song I just always knew and must have been played heaps around me when I was small. This song always reminded me of our street where I lived with my birth family.)

"Everyones Gone To The Moon"
by
"Jonathan King"

"Sure Took A Long Long Time"
by
"Lobo"

"Streets full of people, all alone. Rows full of houses, never home. Church full of singing, out of tune. Everyone's gone to the moon."
Another one of those songs that must have been thrashed around me when I was little. I always knew it and I loved it anyway and it always reminded me of our street at sunset."

(1976 was the year I bought my first record. I was ten and I got it from a Paddy's Market. It had this song on it by Lobo and I immediately loved it. This song always reminds me of the sun high in the pine trees on the farm.)

"Last Train To London"
by
"Electric Light Orchestra"

"Shandi"
by
"Kiss"

(I was 12 and I had the ELO album Discovery, which this song is off and it was one of my faves. No romantic connotations for me in this song, to me it was more about me wanting to be able to believe that things were permanent, such as my school and the place I was living, that they would not keep changing.)

(1980 this song came out where I live. It always reminds me of the group of friends that I ran with for a while there. They were wild, totally out of control and I loved them and that lifestyle at the time. I was 13/14.)

"It's Just The Rain"
by
"Journey"

"Telephone Line"
by
"Electric Light Orchestra"

("Inside you keep on lyin', inside your soul is dyin'. You still can't hold back. Still you can't say good-bye."
One of the most haunting songs I have ever heard.)

(Okay, so no one's answering. I'll just sit tight in shadows of the night and let it ring forever more."
I think I was 10 when this song was around. But it always reminded me of loss, of the way people just didn't seem able to listen, understand or to even really see me at all. The world seemed empty and cold.)

"Morning Of My Life"
by the
"Bee Gees"

"Only Time Could Let Us Know"
by
"Link"

This song reminds me of my siblings and I when we were very small and still together, especiallythe bit about ice on puddles and swinging on clotheslines.

(This song is distinctly 60s New Zealand as Link was a Kiwi band and this song was only ever released in NZ, which is a shame, as in its day it would have done well internationally. It is another of those songs that must have been thrashed around me as I always knew it and loved it.)

"Live To Tell"
by
"Madonna"

"Rain"
by
"Madonna"

This video is absolute egotistical, self-absorbed garbage. However, I love this song, mostly in parts, but still, I had to include it for the musical composition alone.
