Today I have been thinking about a lot of songs that remind me of times in my life. It started this morning when I was in church and the song "You Are Mine" started playing. This song always make me remember my Granny D who passed away last February, but it also reminds me of my wedding day because we had this song as part of our ceremony. So I guess this is a very bittersweet song for me :)
I love music very much and I tend to associate music with a lot of memories. For instance, when I first started dating my husband three years ago I found a song by my absolute favorite band that would always make me think of him and it still does whenever I hear it today. The song was never very popular but I still love it and feel like it describes him perfectly... it's "Bliss" by Muse and I love it! WARNING: the video is weird and is NOT part of my association with my husband :)
I have other songs that make me think of my sisters and best friends. Erasure's "Take a Chance On Me" reminds me of my oldest sister Amy and the times that we sang this in the car when I was a kid. Pretty much any Madonna song reminds me of my sister Julie, especially "Like a Prayer" and Lauren will always be associated with anything Disney or Lion King-related :)
What songs remind you of other people? Are they funny memories or serious?
Awww, thanks... I think of you often when I hear Erasure, too. And did I tell you that I accidentally melted my "Pop: The Top 20" CD recently? Left it sitting on top of the toaster oven... oops!
ReplyDeleteI was JUST thinking about this today when I went running... literally almost every song that comes on my Ipod reminds me of someone in my life. So crazy, but so cool. :)
