Music Moves You!!!!!

[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
Funny Face

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.

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!

Boot camp????

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!

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!!

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!)
