I find some songs reflects my life. Have you got any songs that go down memory lane?😀

For me, "Do you remember these" by the Statler Brothers encompasses in a nostalgic way much of the early years of my life. "We didn't start the fire" by Billy Joel is also good, but of a different tenor.

i had to search for the Statler Brothers one, but first line brought it back.

Billy Joel's "The Stranger" has lyrics that are poignant for me. Makes me think of Jung's psychological theory about our 'shadow' selves. There's a long instrumental intro, and interlude later in it but the background is beautiful and it displays the lyrics once it starts. Since lyrics a primary draw for me i try to find videos that have them when i post music online.

"Only the good die young" by Billy Joel and "Could I have this dance (for the rest of my life)" by Anne Murray invoke memories of my wife. I occasionally listed to many of my favorites on Youtube.

Do you miss those conversations ?

Yes, greatly. He was father of my twin sons. We both read a good deal and the way we didn't need to talk incessantly, just occasionally sharing from what we were reading or a thought it inspired--was something i valued highly. We had some 'irreconcilable differences' but were still legally married tho estranged when he died in 1978.
 
Look what you started @Moonbeam52.

But on a lighter note this song spoke to how i felt about DH # 3 after our divorce (he stalked me at 2 yrs and 7 yrs post divorce--more intensely the 2nd time, had to get restraining order. Which sounds serious, and it was--i was more worried about my daughter actually. But the lyrics laid out the problems between us and represented my feelings so well i kind of found it freeing to rock out to this in my living room.

 
When my daughter was in high school, her and her friends formed a Band ..as they do... my daughter plays Bass , and acoustic guitar but mainly Bass... as well as a myriad of other instruments.. ..they used to play as youngsters in all the college campuses, and even were invited to play at the Roadhouse London, which was a very well known stepping stone for many famous rock bands before them. They tended to copy Dylan a lot, and then branched out to writing their own songs, and music.. ..I could go on forever, but suffice it to say by the time she got to Music college , she and the saxophonist and drummer , decided to do a version of the next song ( not Dylan)... and it was completely indistinguishable from the original..even to a Music producers' ear.. ( we are lucky that working in showbiz (tv and film ) we know very well know Music producers, and we played it to them, and they all said that they thought it was the original version... ..

if you haven't guessed it already... here's the song..




On the strength of that copy... my DD was headhunted to play for an established star as Bass guitarist on her next record.. and the song went to Number 2 in the local charts...
