At 16 years old, sorrounded by friends, window open letting freash air in, sun shining bright and the radio playing this song in art class of 96' - A lovely memory on a random day in my youth.

[@jimbo6059]

Beutiful memories of that summer of 96, the Euros were in England, there was an air of expectancy. Crushed as usual, but this and other songs kept us sane. I was 25.

[@PhilNightmareBrutality]

I was 4 or 5 in 1996 depending on the month and day

[@WilhelminaBrown-sd8is]

My go to at 16 was ELO, last train to London. Was in love with ELO. U2 as well. Can’t fill in my no 1 on my bucket list, nothing compares to you, fantastic Sinead, still not sure, there are too many fantastic British artists out there. My no 1 Beatles is Eleanor Rigby. I might count that in. Bit of pavorriti doesn’t go a miss depending on how yow you feel

[@paradigmbradford4050]

Just randomly got this song stuck in my head but completely forgot the name apart from "or Rome" and can I just say after bearing through thousands of ancient Roman songs I'm just glad I'm finally here.

[@doitanywayz]

same ! I haven't heard this for well over ten years when I was a child. I kept on trying to think of the lyrics. Could it be Amsterdam? or could it be 'anywhere you go'. And then it hit me- ROTTERDAM! And then I got it!

[@bradmorgan8561]

I think we all think alike, it popped in my head during a joint. I went to get my headphones instantly haha not heard it for over 10 uears

Only thing is that I didn't forget the name

This song makes me happy. I’m 25 years old and really lucky to have been raised by music head parents. All sorts of songs was always playing in our house.

Lived in Rotterdam years ago, Crazy Piano's (Bar) & those equally crazy cube houses by the library & the awesome little twists & turns with the cafes & restaurants by the water. Worked in Ridderkerk with great people, nice home life too, great times, I will always have a soft spot for her.
