I was listening to the radio this morning (singin' in the shower, you know how that is), and this fabulous song came on: "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel. Anyway, I realized that every time I hear that song, I think of my grandfather who died when I was nine. He used to be the chief photographer for the New York Daily News, and that song mentions the paper and some other things that I remember hearing that my grandfather liked about NYC.

So, my question to you is, are there any songs out there that you associate with certain people, and if so, what is it about that song that brings to mind that specific person?

Every time I hear "How do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes, I'm reminded of an old girlfriend of mine. The reason it does that is because she sang along with it the day before she dumped me. *grunt*

"The Wind Beneath My Wings" by Celine Dion reminds me of one of my grandmothers.

"One Week" by Barenaked Ladies has basically become the theme song of a friend and I whenever we hand out.

when i hear "vicars wank too" by peter and the test tube babies, fallwell comes to my mind.

*Simply thinks of shower part of opening post*

Uh, wha? Oh sorry, when I hear songs off films I immediately think of the film e.g. Sweet Home Alabama reminds me of Con Air as does How Do I Live?

That's funny that you mention that, since that's the edited version of what I originally wrote...bwahahaha... Oh, uh, I mean--*adjusts halo*

Perhaps you should go back to your be-toweled chickie avatar, to be in the spirit of the thread? J/K

Enya - Watermark: I think of my mom, she's the one who first played this song for me, to show me what a good piano player can do. It really motivated me, too

WHAT!? I was just asking.

[EDIT] Now, if I had asked if she liked cream pies, then you'd have a reason to slap me, but I didn't.

Sorry, I'm being me at 0213 in the morning and bored stiff... metaphorically speaking.

Every time I hear "Higher" by Creed, I think of this girl I met over the net.

Forgiven.
Now where does she say she likes pie?

Yup. Sorry. I'll try to keep them trimmed from now on.

Icky, only just noticed that, my bad.

I thought it was toast?

And no, you can NEVER change your avatar, now that you've used Happy Rei.

3 A.M. Eternal by KLF : I think of my first vacation without parents to a far away place. I went to Florida with my friends. I think I was 20 years old.

YES, AND TOAST! REI LOVES ALL!

Nuts, I like this avatar, but I also have other avatars I have to use. Why hast thou forsaken me?!

*Breaks down and sobs*

There is a specific song that I associate with a certain person but I tend to associate songs with places and events. One my first drive in to my new place of work, oh about four years ago, I heard the "What its like" by Everlast. That song reminds of my first days at work at my real job...and I've been working at that place ever since. Funny though, the more I listen to that song nowadays the more depressed I get.

Well, not exactly the same, but when ever I smell one of those awful chocolate orange, I think of Zelda:OoT, cause the Christmas I first got that I had one that melted into my entertainment center, the area reaked of it for weeks and I can't exactly remember which was finished first, but I whenever I smell one, ahhhhhhhhhhh nostaliga.

When I hear Little Green Bag by George Baker, I think of Reservoir Dogs.

Heh, same here. I have the Pixies AMV to Evangelion and it fits well.

Where does this stuff about Rei liking pie come from?

On topic: Eminem's "My name is" reminds me of my old friend Esben. I don't often associate songs with people, mostly places or actions: for instance, Tool's album Aenima, specifically the songs H and Third Eye, I associate with waking up at the end of a long trip.

mmmm...pie.

Anyway...You get what you give...I think of some dumb stuff I've done in the name of publishing.

Are you guys serious? Wow, I wonder if this is a girlie thing or a me thing... Hmm.........

See, just about everyone in my life has a song, or two, or ninety-seven (as is the case of my first love). Every guy I've ever had a sizable crush on has had a song. I think my cats even have songs. Weird.

Ok, if you care, here's how my brain works:

Ando = "Pure Morning" by Placebo--it was playing in the background of one particularly fun day in the pool room at college, so whenever I hear that song, I think of that day, and consequently of Ando. It's one of the few memories I have of us not arguing, so I like it.

Sarah (Ando's gf and my best friend) = "Crash and Burn" by Savage Garden--when I left Australia, Sar and I were having tough times, so it's nothing short of amazing that she and I have only gotten closer since then. Not only do I have fabulous memories of the two of us mimicking the video from this song with all the sign language, but the words really ring true when one of us really misses the other.

Let me be the one you call
If you jump, I'll break your fall
Lift you up and fly away with you into the night
If you need to fall apart, I can mend a broken heart
If you need to crash, then crash and burn
You're not alone


I could go on and on and on, but a) I don't think you care, and b) I don't think you care.
