Do you have a song that you love so much you remember exactly where you were when you heard that song for the first time? The song became kind of like a mile marker for you, everything you heard after that was somehow changed by how much you loved that song. Sometimes there are friends, old loves standing by those songs, alongside all the other things that make your memories. But when you hear the song now, you don’t care about the memory it fosters, the feeling is fresh, the song still casts its light. What are the songs you can’t forget? I’d love to know what are on other people’s lists.
Here are three that come to mind -
1. Joni Mitchell – “A Case of You”
2. The Innocence Mission – “The Lakes of Canada”
3. Paul Simon – “Graceland”
What are some of your favorite songs of all time?
driving around with my parents listening to anything amy grant, singing mariah’s “always be my baby”with my tiny sister and watching her laugh in the rear view mirror, these are my light but oh so loaded with love favorites of all time. patty griffin and david grey have a few tunes each that i have to stop and listen to the end when i hear them. love that joni song!
Great songs. Herea are some of mine:
You’ve Got a Friend – James Taylor
Kathy’s Song – Simon & Garfunkel
Roll to the Middle – Sara Groves
those are some great picks, too!
love it. great picks sister.
miss you.
miss you always, friend! come to nashville soon! you and hank are always welcome!
most of my “song memories” are from growing up in the 90′s. not the best musical era but i do remember dancing to ace of base at a middle school dance.
i think i know the entire “writings on the wall” – there is some great pop music in the 90s! no shame…
