Musical Throwback Tuesday - Hold on to the night by Richard Marx

 Another beautiful song from the 80s.  It really was the best decade, without a doubt.

 

 

Musical Throwback Tuesday - Listen to your Heart by Sonia

A total throwback to the 80s and my childhood. This used to be one of my favorites back in the day. Such a fun tune to dance to.

Anne Murray is still one of my favorite voices.  She first released this song in 1978, I was a 4 year toddler, but I first heard it when I was around 8 and just loved it. 

 

It's one of those ballads that hits you right in the gut and brings tears to your eyes with the hauntingly melodic lyrics and music.  Not sure if any of you remember this one, but it's a classic.

Musical Throwback Tuesday - Honestly by Billy Joel

A hot summer night, around 3am, we are all packed into our family wagon, and we're traveling down the road towards the Kruger National Park. I am around 12 years old and have been looking forward to this trip for months. 

 

We woke up around 2am, had a quick bite to eat and packed the car. 

 

My dad and stepmom are seated up front, and in the back me and my 3 brothers are laying, all over each other, one head on a shoulder, one laying on the seat, one against a window. 

 

We slip in and out of sleep on the 6 hour trip. As we make our way down the dark, quiet highway, this song plays on the radio. It's one of my favorites and to this day, makes me cry.

 One of my all time favorite singers, without a doubt, growing up, was Olivia Newton-John.  I loved everything about her, her voice, her music, she was absolutely stunning.

 

I still remember watching Xanadu, and just being so excited.  Here's a very big throwback, wonder who many of you will remember this.

This is one that takes me back. I remember hearing this song so many times on the radio, it's always been one of my favorites. Love will keep us together - Captain & Tennille

This one takes me back as well. I was born in 1974 and grew up in the 80s with all the good music. 

 

There are specific songs that remind me of different times, and I can be instantly transported to a certain year, place, country.  This one from F.R David, is one that takes me back to our life in Portugal and makes me miss those days, so very much.  

 

Hope you enjoy ♥

I was trying to figure out what to post today, I haven't taken many pictures the past few days, to be honest I've been busy trying to help my stepmom with my uncle's passing, and with the time difference between here and South Africa, it makes it hard.

As I was sitting in bed thinking about it, this idea popped into my head.

Why not take every Tuesday to put up a music video, but not from nowadays.  I mean going back in time, reliving some of the best music that was made.  Music from my childhood, music that brings back memories.  

This came about I think because I was talking to my stepmom about one of my Uncle Tony's favorite songs.  I remember being around 11 years old, and he was over for dinner and this song came on and he started dancing.  He couldn't dance, let me just say that, so it looked so funny and to this day, my brothers and I will laugh about it.

Anyway, it's a good memory.  So, in his honor today's video is for him.

I love you Uncle Tony, rest in peace 💖
