Every so often a song comes on the radio that "sparks" a special memory. Some songs bring back thoughts of special events, others bring back a memory of someone or other .. maybe a lost love, or maybe a a lost opportunity. Some songs bring me back to a time or place either good or bad .. seems for me anyhow .. I mark the passing of time or events, and or tie a special song to a past memory .. ( this is terrible I know .. but everytime I hear Sweet Emotions by Arowsmith I think about this particular stripper in Quebec) I find it facinating how music is like the thread that binds our quilt work of life experiances. have you ever thought of the songs that tie you to particular memories? Here's my top 5 songs and memories ... if you have some .. maybe you can share them,
1. Whiter Shade Of Pale (Procul Harem) Jr. Highschool dance first dance with first girlfirend
2. Heroine ( Velvet Underground) addiction of any type sucks .. song sparks memories of a time and place no one wanted to be in
3. She's So Cold ( Stones) irony at it's best , my wedding song
4. Sweet Emotions (Arowsmith) in Canada strippers from Quebec for some reason seem to be born with a talent.
5. Wish You Were Here (Pink Floyd) brings back thoughts, memories .. and smiles of friends either dead or lost .. makes me think life's too short and enjoy the moments we have
As I was doing this list at least 15 more songs came to mind, but I limited to 5. These aren't my 5 all time ones .. but close enough. Let me know what yours are if you will .. I'd enjoy that.
