Childhood
When I was little my mother used to blast James through the house every weekend, and I'd sing it at the top of my lungs whenever we went out to the amusement of any fans, and we also went to see them live. I maintained that they were my favourite band until about age 10 and they still have sentimental value today - in the summer we were in a cafe in France with a band who did requests and played 'Sit Down' for us.
Early Teens
Although I can't remember ever not knowing this song, about 3 or 4 years ago a couple of friends and I went to an Irish festival that Bob Dylan was headlining, he was not fantastic of course but we'd had such a good day and we'd managed to get fairly close to the front of the crowd and he started playing 'Like a Rolling Stone' but almost very slowly rapping it and the whole crowd seemed to object and sang the version we all knew and he had to keep up with us.
Now
My best friend introduced me to the Cat Empire which she knew from her sister and this was our favourite song for ages and we'll still play it and sing along whenever we're together. Her boyfriend, another friend and I are taking her to see them for her birthday in fact, so hopefully she won't read this blog!
