Ever have a day when that happens, like you just need to fill your world with some sort of song . . . and it's like your theme song for the day. I changed my ring tone on my phone to that song, posted it for my "ladies" and listened to it over and over.
Isn't it funny how a song can take you to a different place and time.
When I think of "Try a little Tenderness" I see this in my head~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mNGIg8f-0Wc One of my favorites! Don't you just love the 80's! I do . . . I guess the decade of your teenage years is always one of your favs . . . and the 80's will always be mine. Nothing like big hair and bubble gum music!!
Every time I hear the GoGo's ~ "we got the beat", and "Our lips are sealed" it takes me back to my freshman year in high school, when Jaqui and Christi Oberbaugh and I decided we were going to make a band and sing like the GoGo's . . . We listened to their music on a portable tape player, and and sat out side of the school on the lawn and sang.
And every time I hear Stevie Nicks, I think of Jaqui . . . it doesn't matter what song, I think of her. Always have, probably always will. Even though she doesn't "like" her like she used to, I will forever associate Stevie Nicks with Jauqi.
When Drew and I broke up, And Gennae and her boy friend broke up, she and I listened to a lot of Jodee masssina . . . Bring on the rain . . . so pretty much any time I hear that song it takes me back to the day Gennae was coming to have lunch with me at the store, and it was raining and we were sad, and she came in and said that she was listening to that song. I think I can almost remember what she was wearing that day!
I remember when Roger and Jaqui and I were juniors in high school and he was driving me to work and Jaqui was riding along, and we were eating peanut butter crackers in the car, and Roger decided to go 100 miles per hour and he flipped the car. The song on playing was Billy Idols, "White Wedding" It was also the song I had them play when I gave the toast at his wedding to Hileigh . . .
Music can take you to a different place and time . . . it can conjure up good memories and bad . . . it can help you to "visit" people you hadn't thought about in a long time. I love music . . . Enjoy some music today that takes you back in time. Remember . . . and enjoy the memories . . . For where you have been in life helps you to know where you are going.
