5 on Friday - Set 9

Today's set is a trip down memory lane, to that golden time when I first moved to Toronto in the late 80's.
When I was 21, I moved from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Toronto, Ontario. Unlike many Maritimers, who pine away in the Big City and only last six months, Toronto was a form of heaven for me. I lived there for 13 glorious years, and returned to Nova Scotia only because my gram needed someone to live in the house with her, not because I was tired of Toronto.
Whenever I hear these songs, I'm instantly transported to that time in my life, especially the first one, E = mc². When that song is playing, I can feel the pulse of the city run through me, hear the streetcars, feel the heat of a Toronto summer, hear people speaking in all different languages, feel the pull of the vast store of experience and culture, the friends I made there, my husband's family whom I miss every day.
For more tunes, visit Travis at Trav's Thoughts.
1 - E = mc² - Big Audio Dynamite
Somebody I never met
But in a way, I know
Didn't think that you could get
So much from a picture show
Ritual ideas
Relativity
Only buildings
No people
Prophecy
Time slide
Place to hide
Nudge reality
Foresight
Minds wide
Magic imagery
- Mick Jones
2 - In God's Country - U2
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Every day the dreamers die
See what's on the other side
- Clayton / Evans / Hewson / Mullen
3 - My Ever Changing Moods - The Style Council
Daylight turns to moonlight
And I'm at my best
Praising the way it all works
Gazing upon the rest
The past is knowledge
The present our mistake
And the future we always leave too late
- Paul Weller
4 - Don't Look Back - Fine Young Cannibals
Never had the good things
Only money can buy
I'd drive my car but
I haven't got a car to drive
Oh, I know these times are bad
And it makes you want to cry
Don't be sad, we'll get by
Baby, baby, don't look back
- Gift / Steele
5 - Need You Tonight - INXS
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I've got to let you know
You're one of my kind
- Fariss / Hutchence
Janet says Didn't know you were in TO for that long, Julia! In God's Country (apt for any part of our great nation I've had the opportunity to live).
Akelamalu says Some songs can evoke very vivid memories can't they? I love the photo of you. :)
Bond says Interesting set list. Memories are made for music.
