tippergreen"29: A song that you remember from your childhood"
Define "childhood," as I was singing pop songs when I was 6. But perhaps it means that nebulous age between 0 and 6?
I think the safest bet is to pick a song we used to sing in the car on long drives. My mum had a thing for ballads.
I couldn't find a version of this song I liked, though. The below is a compromise. I don't know why it wasn't filmed at the Loch, which is utterly gorgeous. My brother was married there at the priory. I still remember how red my arms were from stripping the willow afterwards (and, oh, my toes!).
And if you don't know what stripping the willow is...I love this video. Oban, easily one of the prettiest towns in Scotland, broke the world record in 2011. Stripping the willow is so much fun! The fun starts at 1:31 in the attached video. It's a bit repetitive at first, so feel free to skip ahead to around 6:30 when the videographer starts walking down the way.
