Instead of what song are you listening to right now...

...I want to know what songs bring up memories whenever you hear them. You know, when you hear a song, and sometimes it just reminds you of time in your life, or sometimes it reminds you of a specific event?

YouTube - Slow Train Coming - 08 Man Gave Names to All the Animals
YouTube - Slow Train Coming - 01 Gotta Serve Somebody
Or Van Morrison's Brown Eyed Girl, Wild Night...


Those songs all remind me of when I was young and I used to go on a lot of family trips with my grandparents. I remember vividly sitting in the middle of the back seat, talking with my grandparents, listening to those songs.

Or YouTube - Fleetwood Mac - Rhiannon always reminds me of a night when my cousin sung part of the song with one of my sillier nicknames in place of Rhiannon.

YouTube - Anna Nalick - Breathe (2AM) Whenever I hear that song, I'm reminded of when I worked at Barnes&Noble, because it was a promo CD we played a lot. Sometimes when I hear it, I actually feel like I'm back there, working on the shelves...

So anyone else? I'm more interested in this than what you're listening to right now, because you can like and listen to a LOT of music, but not all of it actually leaves a mark on your life, you know?

Make it Rain by fat joe and lil wayne, reminds me of the night i met my girl, today was our 1 year anniversary and we listened to it haha

I have soooo many songs that remind me of certain points in my life.....of course I can't think of them until I hear them.......it's the actor in me, gotta be in the moment.

Aww, that's sweet. lol, I can't imagine that being mine and my boyfriend's song tho...

....lol, it's harder to tease you on the net, I can't do the voice and facial expressions here....but yeah, consider yourself mocked.

lol, in a nice way tho...as nice as mocking can be....

mock me?????

Mock you!!

Come on, with a name like sgtpeppr you HAVE to be able to give me at least ONE song that has some kinda meaning to you, that reminds you of something that happened....

Don't hold out on me now!

The first time I really got my heart broken was in high school, it certainly wasn't anything as big as later heart breakings.....but anyway, I remember listening to Nirvana Unplugged Live in NYC over and over again. I used to go down to the nurses office where I volunteered and just laying in one of the beds and listen to the CD. That was one of my first music associations.

I remember the first time I listened to Sgt. Pepper's all the way through.

still fly by big tymers man that song right there brings me back to my good days
and collage girls are easy by easy e those two songs every time i listen to them i just space out and think of the day i first heard that song fuck i miss those days

dude, hem, you just described what I'm talking about! Those songs that just take you back for a minute, and once you snap out of it, it makes you long for the old days.

Boyz in the Hood by Easy E! That song takes me back. "Woke up quick at about noon..."

We're time travelers and music is our vehicle

dude, possibly because i'm very high, but that sounded profoundly deep....

did you ever see that movie Somewhere In Time?

I'm not high and I thought it was a pretty damn good line

No...but it looks like I will have to check it out. Christopher Reeve..how can it be bad?

Oh, it was good....one of my grandmother's favorite movies. The idea is you can go back in time if you surround yourself completely with things from that time. Like NOTHING out of place, your clothes, the change in your pocket, the room around you....I thought it was cool. Plus it's a love story.

Ever see the butterfly effect...another good time travel type movie
Donnie Darko also

Saw BOTH of them, and yes, love them both.

This is an interesting concept, music as memory trigger, there are so many tunes that bring back a certain time and place when I hear them, way too many to list here, I don't have days to type them out,here's just one.. When I hear "In The Ghetto" by Elvis it brings back hot summer nights cruising around Biloxi Miss. in 1969, good times...

I know these peeps
YouTube - Foreigner - I Want To Know What Love Is

lol, is it an interesting concept? So does that mean I'm the only one this kinda shit happens to? Because seriously, the right song comes on, and I'm back in the day when I was young (I'm not a kid anymore but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again...)

lmao, at first I thought you meant you know FOREIGNER, I was going to say....

but that video, was fucking AWESOME (I AM high...that might be a factor...) I love how the dude's drumming with remote controls. And the dude on the fucking toilet...and towards the end, when that same guy from the toilet mouths the WOMAN'S voice saying "let's talk about love" SO fucking PERFECT omg, that killed me.

Yeah they did that in New jersey at the Hazlet train station but # are from philly....I went to highschool with 2 of them
