Old Songs And Memories

[fitrigwrites4u]

This post was inspired by Emmaki´s post. Just wondering myself. Some old songs bring back memories. Which old song that brings back old memory and moves your heart everytime you listen to it (and why)? It doesn´t have to be your favorite song.

Nah…I just don’t listen to music. Maybe that’s because I spent my college days listening to music than studying, so that has now created some sort of aversion to it.

[fitrigwrites4u]

LOL. You were not that bad then. I skipped classes.

Errr, what did you wanna share, @idostuff4u? 🙂

[misscrystal]

I have at least 100 songs that bring back memories.

[fitrigwrites4u]

Yeah, I have a lot too. that´s why I haven´t started to tell one of mine. It´s just so hard to choose 😛

Tony Bennett is a fine singer and that song is actually relaxing. Thanks for sharing, @kjblynx 🙂

I was trying to add a video and to say why it moves my heart, but it just wouldn’t work the way I wanted it to… sowwie 😃

[fitrigwrites4u]

Oh okay, lol. I will go offline now for a bit to play with my dogs and then feed them and do some other stuff. But I will come back online later in the afternoon. So if later you still feel like sharing, you can just write the name of the song, the singer/band and why it moves your heart. But only if you feel like it 🙂

Finally I made up my mind which song I wanted to share. It is from Silverchair called Ana´s song. The lyric has got nothing to do with my memories. But this song reminds me of one of my best friends in high school. She really liked this band and their songs. She was special to me because not only she was my best friend but (whether doppleganger is a real thing or not) she was/is my doppelganger. In the school people (teachers, classmates, whoever) kept saying that we were so look alike. I have a lot of good memories with her. I remember she always helped me with math homework, while I helped her with English homework. I wonder how she is doing now, I hope she is doing great. I have an FB account but very rarely come online there. Maybe today I should come online and say hello to her.

It’s “you are not alone” by Michael Jackson.

It was the only song on a 60 minute casstte and my girlfriend and I played this particular casstte every time we were in the car together for an entire month. 😃

There are 2-3 bollywood songs that bring me to my MOST BEAUTIFUL memories of the past

[emmaki]

So share them, Maria!

I just like this whole album even if it’s older than I am. It reminds me of being a kid. My parents listened to it a lot. I like the sense of freedom this song has.

Don’t forget Black and White! I’m afraid after this for me MJ was forgettable aside from “Scream”. Earth Song in particular was awful…

[emmaki]

This is a good one. I’m still not sure what it means, but it’s about the inevitability of fate, I think (μοιρας/moiras = the fates)

But that’s depressing sounding. Let’s try another giant of the Cretan music scene, Vassilis Skoulas with “where did the time go?”. Fun interesting fact. Greeks use the same word for time and weather. But this is a reflective songs. Cretans are quite a fatalistic bunch prone to reflection when not outgreeking the Greeks. I have found my spirit people!

Visit beautiful Crete /tourist board advisory

Both of these musicians, incidentally, are famed for their skill at playing the lyra. You can hear it in the opening of the second video. Aerakis’ lyra skills can be heard in the following video (lyrics: man likes girl but a mountain separates them and fate etc so love is impossible–Cretans are VERY fatalistic!). Incidentally <name drop> I’ve met both. They speak no English aside from “hello my friend!” but are great people. I fangirled, obvs. There are plenty of others, but I doubt there’s too many other Cretan music lovers here so I shall stop… for now.

Share your music!

@idostuff4u Thanks for sharing. Speaking of cassette, I feel old, lol.

@emmaki yeah, that song was so popular, Macaulay was still so small. Time flies 🙂
