I remember one in the mid 1980's about a couple in which the girl had a number of debilitating illnesses and was slowly going blind I was close to tears until the end and the tune played was "I only have eyes for you" after that I just burst out laughing and wondered if the whole story was a wind up 4:31

Always remember by this tune and voice

One of most supberb voices on radio , I listened to Simon on radio one every weekday morning back in the early 80s, his way of telling a story on Our Tune was so brilliantly done ...great memories even though there were a number of sad & ever so tearful moments, there was still a great number of uplifting true stories

Very well

OMG i grew up listening to our tune with Simon in 1980. I was 7 years old. I'm now 50. Made me cry every time 😢 ❤

It is seen, even now, all these years later, as a weakness to admit you cannot cope and to what degree, to ask for help from someone that has helped so much, recently we had the covid times and suicide was happening far more, hopelessness is a killer, your mind is not NOT your friend, the sister is an overcomer, far stronger than most people, she will be fine, and her poor husband having to find brother hanging there, knowing he has to go back to his wife who has been through soooo much already, I hope they are very much still as one.

Funny isnt it, before being born Sammy chose her life challenges, but knew that although she would not shine for long, she shone incredible bright and had a wonderful father, but her suffering ended, I hope Rob understood that

As I told my best friend the other day make the most of your parents while they are still here his dad has dementia as well it's heartbreaking for him .lucky I never saw my mum and dad like that id do anything to bring them back

Bring it back

I'm still listening to this in 2024 again

😂he bashed her , as it was ok in them days 😂women new their place

JAMES SMITH SHARON 😊

It’s the music that gets me the most 😢

Im 55 i used to listen to our tune on radio one at 10.30 on our morning break in senior school! (1981/1986) This took me back filled me with emotion at the story and remebering my life at that time!

I actually gravitate more to the older ‘Our Tune’ in the 80s/90s than the more recent ones on Smooth, although I do listen to them also. The older, slightly tinny sound, just feels like a time capsule in my life to when I was 14 when I became aware of this right after Simon Mayo’s show on Radio 1.

Can you please upload more of these

Simon bates was the dj of true stories. Miss him me so much. ❤️ he just had the voice for raido. Some djs are just not the same as Simon was. A true legend. Never forget him, and thanks sommuch for posting. It's like he never passed away. Please post more of his great true stories 🙏

How very sad 😢😢😢

Bring our tune back to radio 2 but there’s no good enough candidate dj to do it…. Steve wright bless him would have been perfect!

Listening to Simon today- was like yesterday we all would stop at work and just listen to the story xxx we need this again xxx

Great our tune mate as always

Wow I've not heard this since my first ever job in 1990. My bosses radio in the van while I was helping him fit garage doors. I was 15 years old and would give absolutely anything to go back to those days.

the human spirit is remarkable

I still miss the ' one' that got away

Such a sad sad story.

Listening to this story in 2024… the golden hour hasn’t lost its touch… or effect on me When i was younger and working in a factory we would down tools for 11am have a coffee and cry …. Then do it all again the following day 😢

Great as always mate

With all the arse holes out makes you wonder why such a young girl has to deal with that heartbreaking story

Used to work at a pallet factory on Merseyside, at 11am work stopped to listen to our tune. I've seen the most rough arsed lads had tears in their eyes.

The Our tune is one of the only radio programs that brought most offices and work places to a standstill. It was so sad, but also so meaningful with the stories of those that were involved. The Our tune is legendary, and was such a big part of growing up in the 80's and 90's. 👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

Falling in love with the person who you think is going to be with you for the rest of your life sucks I have been in love twice and lost it all just like playing poker you get your card's and look and say I have got a good hand and then you lose it all

Love to jenny

Simon was a true icon on the radio one amazing man with a heart of gold his voice made the show what it was , you could hear it in his voice that a lot of these true story’s would get to him after all he was only human but at the same time he had to be seen to be professional 👌

allways loved listening to our tune in 80s....up where i used to work in shotts,scotland....called mmmums products ltd....best job i ever had and miss all the good people i worked with..tc all

Such an awful twist

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH This is killing me, now i know why i had to stop listening to them. Man life is shit sometimes.

I loved this as a young teen in the late 80s!! Loved it and Simons voice was so right for it..❤

This was really good to listen to, I used to listen this, it really brings it home to you

You can hear it in Simon's voice just how harrowing this is. ❤

Simon Bates is a living radio legend. Now on BOOM RADIO, Sundays. Wouldn't it be great if he brought Our Tune back on there.

That really was a very sad story. 🥲

Love to you all ❤❤❤
