What song(s) make you remember your first love?

Paul Anka's "Put Your Head on my Shoulder".

Site was the Friday night junior high dances at the Y and I had a huuuge crush on a guy named Wayne. Tall, handsome, blond. Totally out of my league. Who am I kidding? I didn't HAVE a league; I had never danced with a guy who wasn't forced to during the once-a-month gym class ballroom dancing lessons when the boys were admitted to the girls' gym.

The fantasy was that he would hold his hand out, ask me to dance and That.Song would be playing.

The reality is that he wouldn't have pi$$ed on me if I was going up in flames.

That song, every time I hear it, makes me hopeful again.....

Me too!...the Beatle's songs remind me of my first love.. I remember driving when I first heard I want to hold your hand on my car radio and remember thinking..they are really good I wonder who they are...I found out:D and loved all their music... except in the later years I was kind of sad they were no longer the sweet innocent boys we all met in the 60's.

People changed, music changed. I read that some radio stations didn't want to play "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" because they thought it was too racy. Same with the Doors' "Light my Fire" & "Wake up, Little Suzie."
Now, anything goes. :)

My girlfriend and I drove 90 miles one way to see a movie together (We lived in a small isolated town in Montana), without having any idea what was playing, and having never even heard of this film. We walked out of the theater stunned by the film, with the ending still playing in my head. So when you ask what song I associate with my first love, this is what popped into my head. I know it's weird, but it is what it is.

You didn't know just how close you were to ground zero.

When I was in High School a girl Annette walked up to me and said do you want to be boyfriend and girlfriend and I said Ok. She had a twin sister Angella and they were doublteaming me most of the time. She said our song was "Strangers in the Night". I remember her father asking me what my intentions were and I said that she had several boyfriend at school and dumped them and she will probably do the same with me. We went to the Saturday Night Hops at the High School a few times with her and her sister and their dad as the chaperone. The a couple of months later she told me she wanted to go steady and I ask her what that ment, she told me and I said no and that was the end of that.

My top five grind songs in Long Island basements bathed in red or blue lights. Man O man, those were the days.

The Dells: Stay in My Corner


The Moody Blues: Knights in White Satin


The Jimi Hendrix Experience: Drifting


Paul & Paula: Hey Paula


The Flamingos: I Only Have Eyes For You


Then I had to clean up my act and grow up.

Associating a song with a first love is difficult for me because love was so fleeting when I was young. I do remember one song one summer when I was on a Greek island, in my late teens, and a young Scandinavian asked me to dance at the cafe. He was tall, and blond, and very handsome. I was shy, but went along. I still remember how close he danced to me. My relatives snatched me away from there. Never saw him again.
Here is the song:

Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer​

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer,

Thou wilt bind the broken heart. Let not sorrow overwhelm us;

Dry the bitter tears that start. Curb the winds and calm the billows;

Bid the angry tempest cease.

Precious Savior, dear Redeemer, Grant us everlasting peace.

Text and music: H. R. Palmer, 1834-1907.
