What song brings back good or bad memories for you?

[Gracie]

Bad. Ex proposed while this song was playing, I said yes, he turned out to be an asshole.

 

[Gracie]

Good. Youthful time.

Very good. Sitting on the sand at Pismo Beach Cali, smoking a joint and just watching the surf at dusk.

 

[Gracie]

Good. Cruisin', free, not a care in the world while friends in the car banging on a tamborine.

VERY good. Working at a small cafe, man walks in wearing a red flannel shirt. Instant love but it was not meant to be.

 

[Gracie]

Bad. The day I said yes when I shoulda said no.

 

[Gracie]

Bad. Navy man (boy) off to wherever. Said he needed something to remember me by. So I gave it to him. Shoulda said NO then, too, cuz all Navy men (boys) and other military guys say the same thing to innocent untouched girls.

There ARE many assholes out there, unfortunately. I CAN be an asshole, at times, ass (sic) well. Thank you for this thought-provoking thread, Gracie. I WILL be responding with my own choice of songs after I have some breakfast and coffee.

My absolute favorite song by Mr. Lightfoot. Thanks for posting the video.

"Crocodile Rock", by Elton John. It's probably the first song by Sir Elton I can remember taking notice of at age 11 or so. From that point on I was a HUGE Elton fan, until the late 1970's, when he seemed to run out of good ideas and good music.

We drove down to London to that music.

"Proud Mary", by CCR. This one is STILL my favorite by John Fogerty and Company. I believe it's one of THE best rock/pop songs ever written.

"Up Around The Bend", by CCR. Possibly my SECOND favorite song by the group. I first heard it when my dad brought home the CCR album, Cosmo's Factory. I was instantly smitten by the sound and joy in the music.

"Hound Dog", by Elvis Presley. This is the first song I remember hearing by The King, in 1970, at age 9, thanks to my mom's 45 single of the song. This started a love affair for me with Elvis's music, and which continues even to this day.

 

[bluzman61]

"Bridge Over Troubled Water", by Simon and Garfunkel. Quite possibly THE most beautiful pop song ever written. It gives me comfort and solace each time I hear it.

This came to mind right away.

Two bad memories. When Mom died in 1991 at 47 of pneumonia and other complications.

And when our house burned down several years ago.
