Musical Memories

Sometimes music can trigger memories that you would never had recalled otherwise.

There was one particular song that often used to come into my head, but since it was my own voice singing it I did not give it much thought. Until I stumbled across the following on youtube, purely by chance.

It takes me back many years (I do mean many). I was playing football with the boys, in the sand, barefoot, as we did......one of the lads used to keep his tape player on the side and replayed this song over and over again. I loved it. 

I miss that time. I was very happy and knew very little about the 'real' world. But mostly that was a time when Dubai was mine. All mine.

I don't know of this song, however, am sure you have beautiful memoirs associated with it.

Guess most amongst us miss the young UAE, when home was indeed home. I don't know if it shall ever be that way again - I do know, there probably won't be another place like her. I miss her.
