what songs are important to you?

Discussion in 'Music genres, Bands and Artists' started by old cat lady, Mar 15, 2012.

  1. as in a song(s) you share with a partner, that reminds you of somebody, etc. I'm not much of a music fan but there are a few songs that have so much meaning to me.

    this song always reminds me of my best friend and ex Maggie. when we were dating we would walk around the park, share her headphones and listen to this song on her ipod. it became one of "our" songs. she went home on new years and I was in dunkin doughnuts one day texting her girlfriend about when we used to be dating, and right then it came on the radio. I take it as her way of saying hello because the same shit happened another time with our only other song, right when I started talking about her when me and my friend passed one of the spots we always used to hang out.

    and this is my song with my boyfriend :) we listened to it together while walking around on a warm summer night when we were just starting to hang out. he talked about how romantic it was. we have been together for almost 2 years. I was so sad that they didn't play this song when we went to the smashing pumpkins concert this october. :(

    i lost a loved one and this song nails how i felt in every way
     
  3. I can't believe I forgot to add this song. yes, it's katy perry LOL but the lyrics are spot fucking on (make out to radiohead, steal alcohol and go on roofs, etc). it's actually scary how much this song describes us and how I feel about her.

  4. A couple of my favorites;
    Neil Young - Old man, reminds me that sometimes expectations are not realistic and that we need to live a good life without the extra pressures. To grab the love that may be right in front of us. (Plus it just sounds great).

    Cats in the Cradle - Harry Chapin, reminjds me that time passes too fast and that it is easy to miss the good times (hurting them) with those you love the most, whilst in pursuit of other things that really doesn't matter in the long run (fame fortune, etc). :smoke:

    Could post hours worth of tunes for this guy, spent many hours smoking up exploring music and deeply philosophyzing.
    Damn it now I'm thinking of a dead friend...time to fire up.
    He jumped out a 7 story window(No, I wasn't there).

    edit: Haven't been able to listen to radiohead since one of my wife's mentally deranged family members decided Thom Yorke was God and...this song reminds me of politics as usual ("you have the throne/ leave me alone") during this difficult election year.
     
  14. You're "not much of a music fan"? :eek:

    Are...are you an android?
     
  15. I guess so, lol. I'm just not really into music like everybody else is. the only band I really love to listen to is radiohead. other than that my 'like' and 'favorite' lists on youtube are all random songs from different bands.
     
  16. This is gonna sound condescending, and I don't mean it to be, but I feel bad for you. :(
