What song makes you think of your parents?
My Dad loved folk music, my Mum loved pop. They had a lot more depth to their musical tastes of course —both enjoyed classical music and sang in choirs— but those are the genres I associate with both.
This song instantly takes me to our family home, the tape deck in the kitchen is on, it’s summer and the windows are open. As they prepare a salad, or prep some fruit, this is the song that’s playing.
“California Dreamin' (Single)” by The Mamas & The Papas
