"Walking on stilts at the edge of my mind"
OK, before the year 2000, and what memories it brings back.
Can't say this is the only "favourite" song I have, there must be several, for varying reasons.
I (male) remember always having had some doubts about my sexual preferences, and then I heard this Spanish song "Mujer contra mujer".
I was switching channels on my TV set, and then came upon the only Spanish TV station on cable we have here : TVE (internacional).
There was a huge crowd, and I think most of them were girls, they had their lighters on, and moving along to a very intimate song.
I understood that this was about the love between two women.
At that time I did not understand Spanish yet, and I guess it was one of the reasons for years later to study that language.
The lyrics are quite nice.
Here's the beginning:
"Nada tienen de especial
Dos mujeres que se dan la mano
El matiz viene después
Cuando lo hacen por debajo del mantel
Luego, a solas, sin nada que perder
Tras las manos el resto de la piel."
There is nothing special about it,
Two women holding hands
The nuance comes afterwards
When they do this underneath the table cloth
Later on, when they're alone, with nothing left to lose
After the hands comes the rest of the skin."

Don't really do songs as such as I'm not really keen on singing as such. However, I do have a few I like, and this is one from one of the only bands I've seen live.
The Enid - And Then There Were None. In fact I love the whole album. Takes me back to their gigs I went to. The album is: "Something Wicked This Way Comes"

One of the most underrated bands ever, these guys were on the cusp of immortality before grunge killed 'em stone dead
Perhaps this is unfair of me because this song was decades before even my time, but I still think it is one of the most (if not the most) romantic instrumental pop songs ever written. It still makes me float away...
