After the massive downer that was track 4, it's time to pick things up again with a 60's classic. Open the link below in a new window to play the track whilst you hear my story.
The classic Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline
As I mentioned when discussing track 2, I've always been a big fan of 60's music and I can remember Neil Diamond being one of my mum's favourites. I only have a few memories of my mum ever putting music on and Neil Diamond is one of those few memories. More recently though, in 2015 (I think), Sweet Caroline became my beloved Reading FC's anthem - it was the tune that the players would come out to the field to. The reason alegedly being that it became popular amongst the players when we secured promotion to the premier league for the first time in 2006 with a record breaking 106 points, scoring an agonising 99 goals, losing just twice all season and going on a 33 game unbeaten run - the best football I'll ever see. The best DVD I'll ever own.
