A song that takes you back?

Recommended Posts

I was on the way home from the movies and playing on the radio was "Every Rose Has It's Thorn". Haven't heard that song in 10 years easy. Took me straight back to junior high. Ahhh the memories.:)
Can you think of any that "took you back"?

"Glory Days" takes me back to my high school days... Hard to believe next year will be my 20th year reunion. I'll probably be the youngest looking of the bunch too. :ph34r:

I just had my 10th...the changes we go through are, in some cases, unbelievable.

You ain't kidding! The captain of my cross country team, who finished 2nd in the state on our state champion team, showed up at our 10 year reunion with a noticable beer belly! :S Some other guys had already gone 80% bald! A lot of the popular girls got fat, drank and smoked. Sheesh... I wasn't much to look at in high school, as I was kind of a runt. But I showed up at my 10 year reunion in a Porsche 914 and everybody heard I was a skydiver (only had a hundred jumps or so at the time) and I get voted "Most Eligible Bachelor"... :D:D

I wonder what awards they'll give out next year? Baldest, fattest, most kids, dorkiest minivan, etc... :D

The most noticable change was this guy who was a drugie. I figured he would be dead by now. He was snorting coke and twice arrested for stealing. He is now a priest. (Not saying one is better than the other:P)

'Unchained Melody' was the first song we danced to as husband and wife, so I remember that moment...and 'Witchcraft' by Sonatra was the song that the DJ forgot to bring that was supposed to be our first dance, so I still think of that moment and how pissed Joe was that the dude forgot our Sonatra! :ph34r:

"......driving a short bed chevy, driving my first love out to the Levy. Wishen time would stop right in his tracks."

Sorry I had too.......:)
Song for me that takes me back would have to be.....

Bad: Ozzy...momma I'm coming home. Friend played it 4 times ina row when his mom died senior year in HS. he cried, I cried....it was the first time I showed open emotion to a friend. We hugged, I shut the song off and we talked. he is still one of my best friends ever.

Good: Van Halen's Running with the Devil....me and my friends at Prom.
Good and the one that I truly remember.......
Female friend had a red dress on for prom. DJ didnt play Lady in Red...she was all upset. As she is walking to limo I convinced the DJ to set up 1 speaker and play it for her. She was getting in the limo, I ran up too her and grabbed her hand and perfectly timed the song came on. I asked her if I could have this dance. It was Her and I dancing alone with all the lights on...surrounded by teachers, workers at the hall, and everyone else who was there. No one else danced just us...she cried. her mom heard the story and cried...gave me hug and asked me to marry her daughter. I still think of that night when Ihear that song.

Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me"

Reminds me of when my best friend in high school and I would drive up and down the beach at spring break in his brand new '87 Pontiac Trans Am GTA.



Funny, that one takes me back to beach week right after I graduated high school. It was in heavy rotation on MTV at the time and we'd dance around our condo while pouring tequila shots. Ah, good times.

***I heard "Red Red Wine" today while I was on hold on the phone and it took me back to riding the school bus in jr. high.

Thanks a lot! [:/]That song reminds me of when I was working down in St. Croix, US Virgin Islands.

At least you're finally legal.;)

There are several songs that take me back - usually associated with an ex. "Amazed" by Lone Star and "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf are associated with Kristi in Texas.

"Did You Ever Look so Nice" by the Samples brings me back to Trina. "Bittersweet" by Big Head Todd brings me back to Denise. "Tell Everybody I Know" by Keb Mo brings me back to Steph.

"I was Wrong" by Social Distortion brings back happy memories of a big and positive change in my life.

"Ventura Highway" by America brings me back to my college years when I took the 101 to and from school in Santa Barbara.

So many...

So Sunshine, why does it make you think of Rantoul.
Not answering this question would make you seem not to very nice.;)

Yep, as soon as I got home I downloaded it to iTunes. And that of course led to a four hour iTune shopping spree.
