It's that time of the month again. Time to sign in! You get five points for signing in and another five points for answering the question.

 

Are there any songs you associate with cherished memories in your life?

 

 

I've always had feelings for City of New Orleans by Arlo Guthrie. When I was in high school we would be annually taken on camping field trips and one of the chaperone people was a musician. That was one of the main songs I can remember singing around the campfire.

I associate Free Bird with my highschool graduation, it was our song.  It didn't help that I recall fondly my dad being the loudmouth he was known to be shrieking "FREEBIIRRRD" at the top of his lungs when it started. :laugh:

Does Cindy know?  :laugh:

 

Srsly though, so many.  The first one that comes to mind is "Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden, because that's the song I walked down the aisle to at my wedding 13 years ago.  

 

Nearly anything by U2 from 1993 or before brings to mind tons of high school and college memories.  :wub:

Which one should I pick? MaybeTeenage dirtbag by Wheatus. It was my first class when I started working as a teacher. The kids didn´t want to sing an ordinary summer song when it was time for the school to end. They wanted to sing this song instead. I´m not much for boring summer songs that you hear every year so I thought it was a good idea. Some of my colleagues didn´t agree though so I had to fight for it. I won but in the program they renamed it to Teenage because they didn´t find dirtbag to be fitting. lol

And, oh boy... There are a lot of such songs.

 

Any songs by my friends' band Ghost Voyage, because anything to do with them will be among my most cherished memories. Especially Ghost of Dawn, because it reminds me of the summer a couple of years ago when I spent a few weeks at the friend's place (who is the singer of GV) and he was in the process of writing the lyrics and I was writing a novel and he got the inspiration for that song from my novel.

Does the new guy need to do this? I'm doing it either way. Consider me signed in.

 

I'd say the whole of Muse' album Black Holes and Revelations brings up some very dear memories for me. The title song in particular even though it's one of my least favourite

Most of the songs I associate with childhood are ones that I played as part of my middle school orchestra.  I can't remember any of their names, but they were fast, technical pieces that I had a ton of fun practicing with.
