Or listened to a CD and all the feelings that you experienced when enjoying the CD in the past comes flooding back to you?:musicnotes

The first summer that it was just my daughter and I (post divorce) we planned a girls trip to Seagrove, FL for a week.

We drove with the top down all the way down there playing Los Lonely Boys - and our favorite song was Heaven!

Everytime I hear that song now - I can smell the beach air, feel the wind blowing through my hair and appreciate the closeness that my daughter and I shared during that week!

These two songs remind me of boot camp. Near the end of boot camp, we were allowed to go to the commissary and purchase items. I bought a cassette player with two tapes (the Judds and FC Barnes). I wore those tapes out!

The first one always brought back loving memories of my Granddaddy Keen who always had a story to tell. The second one (Rough Side of the Mountain) told exactly how I felt in boot camp!

Bro. Chosenbyone,

"Rough Side of The Mountain" reminded me of Bro. Ron Mullings message
last year at Tx. Dist. Campmeeting. That if we thought it was tough climbing
up the rough side of the mountain, what would it be to have to climb up the
smooth side.
That made me change my thinking somewhat. All these rough places in my
life have only been places in which to dig my feet in, to stand in, until I
could rest a bit before continuing on life's journey. I'll never think the same
about those "rough" spots. They may be just "stepping stones'. Here I was
thinking they were stumbling blocks!:happydance:happydance

Blessings,

If I hear Paul McCartney's "I'm not in love" at a mall somewhere, it takes me back in time to the summer of '72.
It is as if I am there all over again.

Strange, I was just 8 at the time.

Yea, when I hear "Enough is Enough" by Barbara Streisand it reminds me of when I asked my first husband for a divorce. I wasn't in church then. Enough is just enough sometimes! Actually, I didn't ask him for it, I told him he was getting one. :boxing

I noticed the background in our wedding pictures, years later, in that little Baptist church - "Jesus Saves".

We had no clue what that really entailed.

When I hear I Saw the Sign by Ace of Base I think of the day I filed for divorce. It was playing on the radio as I drove to the lawyer's office and I thought, "How appropriate!".......

[Margies3]

Helen Reddy singing "You and Me Against the World" and "Send In the Clowns" takes me back to when I was 17 and driving around in my '68 Firebird with an 8-Track player thinking I was the coolest thing on four wheels!

[GraceAmazing]

Let's see...I'm a singer/songwriter, so almost EVERY memory of mine has a song associated with it. One that sticks out is "Any Man of Mine"...the summer I turned 18. If I would have had my way, I would have played this song at my wedding as I walked down the aisle. Thank God for a smart mama who said "Absolutely, NO WAY!"

Oh, man, you hit the nail on the head!

My first memory of a song that stuck with me was when I was in elementary school, and the song was "Seasons in the Sun". Even as a young boy, that song made me cry!

When I hear it now, I'm right back at that moment........

Also, as a teenager, two songs got to me........."All by Myself" and "Dreamweaver".

If I hear them now, I'm right back in my 1968 Nova in Owosso, Michigan, driving down the road with tears in my eyes........

Midnight Special by CCR.

[rgcraig]

There are a few songs that connect me to feelings I had when I listened to them for a period.

When I'm feeling a little down, I will play these songs and regain the feelings I had while listening to them the first time.

Pretty cool how it does that...it is amazing how music/feelings are so closely connected.

Jessica by the Allman Brothers....just a great instrumental!!!! Takes me back to 1975.....

I was a fool to ever leave your side
Me minus you is such a lonely ride
The breakup we had has made me lonesome and sad
I realize I love you 'cause I want you bad, hey, hey

I spent the ev'ning with the radio
Regret the moment that I let you go
Our quarrel was such a way of learnin' so much
I know now that I love you 'cause I need your touch, hey, hey

CHORUS:
Reunited and it feels so good
Reunited 'cause we understood
There's one perfect fit
And, sugar, this one is it
We both are so excited 'cause we're reunited, hey, hey

brief instrumental interlude

I sat here starin' at the same old wall
Came back to life just when I got your call
I wished I could climb right through the telephone line
And give you what you want so you will still be mine, hey, hey

I can't go cheatin', honey, I can't play
I found it very hard to stay away
As we reminisce on precious moments like this
I'm glad we're back together 'cause I missed your kiss, hey, hey

CHORUS

Yeah, yeah, yeah
Ba-a-a-by

Lover, lover, this is solid love
And you're exactly what I'm dreamin' of
All through the day
And all through the night
I'll give you all the love I have with all my might, hey, hey

The Anchor Holds is the song that got me through a decade of struggles: 1991-2001

[jaxfam6]

i saw the name of the thread and my first thought was yeah some of it does but not like a bowl of prunes. =)

[jaxfam6]

The Anchor Holds is the song that got me through a decade of struggles: 1991-2001

Mine is "God is so good to me"
I heard this sang by a young boy who as blind and physically not as well as he could have been. When my world seems to be a little more than I can handle I think back to Natchez MS and hearing that young boy sing and how he brought a church to their knees without even realizing what he was really doing. He could not see the tears although he could hear the people sobbing. Young boy, just doing what he loved to do, sing to God. When you knew his life and what he had been through just be alive and you heard him sing it literally reached in and pulled out any doubt, anger, fear, or self pity you might have had in you.
To this day when I hear that song I can not help but cry and thank God for all that he has done for me and how blessed I truly am.

Bugs and butterflies, come out - In the spring!

Flowers bloom and the whole world - turns green!

The sky is filled with sunshine,

and spring is in the air,

everyone is happy,

smiles are everywhere.

Everybody loves spring!
(everybody loves spring)

Everybody loves spring!
(everybody loves spring)

...

YEAHHHHH!!!

I suppose I won't forget these lyrics in a while.... :)

[Mrs. LPW]

Elizabeth Goodine's "Lead Me Lord" takes me back to a specific time and place. When I made a specific promise to the Lord and He made a specific promise to me.

All of the Alabama Christmas songs take me back to a specific time and place...

Most of the older McGruder songs take me straight back to our District Campmeeting.

Music has always been a huge part of my life, so most songs older than 5 years usually spark a memory in me. In the last 5 years there have been so many "new" Praise and Worship choruses that they haven't been sparking memories as much.

I really like the song One Less Stone, sung by my youngest daughter April.
And My Redeemer sung by Brother Larry.

[jaxfam6]

Since the late 70's and early 80's are the time when I was most impressionable I would have to say I get a lot of memories from songs I hear from that era but being a last child of 8 and my older brothers and sisters growing up with music of the 50's and 60's those songs usually bring back a lot of memories also.
Of most all songs the one I think I love the most was one that my sister used to sing to me when I was little and she would take me places with her. Connie was my big 'Sissy' I called her that till I was an adult and one day it just did not sound right to say any more. She is 18 years my senior and very much like a second mother to me. She would sing

Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I need you
My whole world's wrapped up in you

When the road I walk seems all uphill
And the colors in my rainbow turn blue
You kiss the tears away
You smile at me and say
"Funny face (funny face) I love you"

Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I need you
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me
Funny face, believe me
My whole world's wrapped up in you

And when I hurt your feelings as I sometimes do
And I say those mean things that we know are not true
You forgive my childish way
You hold me close and say
"Funny face (funny face) I love you"

Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I need you
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me
Funny face, believe me
My whole world's wrapped up in you

Funny face, I love you
Funny face, I need you

FADE
These are the sweetest words I've ever heard
Funny face, don't leave me

I will instantly go back to being a very little boy and sitting in her car driving down the road.
Just sitting here typing this up has brought tears to my eyes. She moved away when I was only 12. She married and started her own family but she never stopped loving her baby brother. She still means the world to me and I love her more today than ever. Last summer her husband was posted here in Phoenix to work for his company and for the first time in 30 years we got to see each other almost every day. We spent many weekends just sitting in a tea house drinking tea and talking. I will cherish those memories just like I do the ones from when I was a child. God must have known I needed her here at that time because while she was here our father passed away and even though he had left us shortly after she got married and he never kept in touch it was still very hard to deal with for a few days there. The thought of what never was and never would be never can be now. While he was alive there was always hope but with him gone all hope is gone. God had sent my sister here to spend that time with me so that I would be able to get through it. I think in many ways I was as much a help to her at that time as she was to me. Any way, Thanks for bringing up memories, think now I will go have myself a good cry.

Good night Sissy, I love you forever and always

Yes, the ringtone I have on my phone when my wife calls, immediately takes me to a particular time and place. It is so real there are times that I forget to answer because of the mental trip!

Don't care to disclose the song, but it isn't too christian.

That is so funny, the first thing I thought of when I read that, was I wonder if anyone on here has ever heard him sing that!! I may be biased, but I think he tears that song up!!

[Margies3]

Here's one for Michael Phelps -

When I hear
"I wonder how it felt
to wake up in the belly of the whale?
I wonder how it felt
to know the mouths of lions had been sealed......
I'm just a child
my life is still before me
I just can't wait
to see what God has for me
but I know that I will trust Him
and I'll wait to see
what life will be for me.

I go back to the very first special number a VERY special little girl sang in church. Even then, her voice was incredible. And today? Oh my goodness!! No one has a better voice than Michele :)

That is so funny, there is song that makes me laugh every time I hear it, "here's a quarter, call someone who cares".

I had just got off of the phone with my first husband who I was in the middle of a divorce with, and he was telling me about the wonderful things going on in his life, to which I responded "that is wonderful, but you really should be sharing this news with someone who cares".

I wasn't trying to be hateful, I was serious, I just didn't care anymore. My mother was standing beside me and she kept chuckling at how blunt I had been. A few hours later we were walking through a store and that song was playing! Me and my mom started laughing so hard we both started crying (probably hysterically at that point!)
