Question

Does anyone hear a song and it take them back to a time in their life? kinda random, but sometimes I hear songs that immediately make me think and feel like I was back at that time in my life, my most significant being in 2001 Outkast' "whole world" (random)... when my best friend lived in Chico and I visited her there, she played this over and over, and it is when I fell in love with my current boyfriend! what's yours???

Answer 1

Several songs remind me of a certain time....Like Curtosy of the Red, White, And Blue....Toby Keith, my husband is fighting in iraq.

And Beautiful mess by Rascal Flatts.....and The most recent is 1 more day by rascal flatts, cuz i wish i had one more day with my husband to tell him what he meant and still means to me before he got deployed.

Answer 2

After my ex left me: ABC Many Happy Returns:

When I accepted this job
I was resigned to my fate
When I got there early
She'd arrive late
You can say she's gone forever
Or just sit tight and wait
She said I was unprincipled
That I was not the first
Like the Phoenix coming back
From the ashes, uh-huh
I know what's good,
But I know what trash is
In the head-lights,
In the highlights of her hair...
Hit the head lines
But she's not there:
_ chorus:
Many happy returns
Many happy returns
These are the lessons I could have learned
Return. Many happy returns
And these are the letters I should have burned
Okay, I'm sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Like the world, spinning 'round
On its axis, uh-huh
I know democracy
But I know what's fascist
When she's gone, all I got to learn
Is the law of diminishing return
When she's here, one thing I've found
(No)things get better second time around
_ chorus
Okay I'm sad, not blue
Okay, remember
All that matters to me now
Is the message I sent her
Now she's gone, she's gone away
Now she's gone forget her
Coming back another day
If you'd only let her
Now she's gone, she's gone away
But she's gone forget her
Coming back another day
So why resurrect her?

Just Like Heaven by The Cure. It reminds me of when I used to hang out with a really good friend I havent seen in like 10 years, just driving around and going to the lake.

Answer 4

I had a teacher for two classes in HS my senior year, and at the end of each semester, he would show a slide show, with the song "Here Comes The Sun", by the Beatles. Everytime I hear it, it takes me back, and it's so peaceful.

Answer 5

Time Of Our Lives by Paul Van Dyk
I'm Still In Love With You by Sean Paul
Despre Tine by O-Zone
Love Comes Again By DJ Tiesto and BT

They reminded me of my trip to Ibiza as they were "in" those days.

Answer 6

Anything retro. I feel like a teenager/kid again. It's great. And theme music from shows I haven't seen in years, like Simon in the Land of Chalk Drawings... you know the song that Mike Myers ripped off for his sketch.

Answer 7

For me, it's albums, what I was listening to when...
David Byrne's Grown Backwards reminds me of when I stated dating my wife, The Doors Soft Parade reminds me of my freshman year of highschool, The Byrds Mr. Tambournie Man reminds me of college ceramics class, Bob Dylan's Blood on the Tracks reminds me of when my parents divorced. Donovan's Sunshine Superman reminds me of the time I joined my first band.

Answer 9

Beatiful by James Blunt

Answer 10

Groove is in the heart by Deee-Lite.

I was in high school when I first heard it.
I really think it defines my way of life.
It kind of reminds me that everything is a lot easier then I think if I just chill out.
