Songs to remember by.......................

So anyway, inspired by Pedge's thread about inspirational songs, I was wondering what songs remind you of a loved one or friend that has died?
I think music is the "soundtrack to our lives" and particular songs can remind you of all the good times, the laughter, the happiness, the tears and the fears that you shared with your loved one. A song can bring your dear departed to you in an instant, from the opening chords and for a brief time you can remember and smile.
What song embodies your loved one and why?

Come Back-my husbands grandad who passed away
In Hiding- travelling up to the city in a car with my two good mates who just won the local football grandfinal, and the only two people I knew at the time who loved PJ
Breath- the movie Singles
yeah, theyre my memories. Not especially important to you, but mine all the same.
My mate has been gone ten years next year.
My thoughts are with you.
thanks yellow, and mine with you.
I just love how the music, the songs are like a celebration of that person and if they pop up randomly it's almost like they're speaking to you, reminding you not to forget! As if you could!

Exactly!!
Songs hold so many different meanings and memories for everyone.
I love how it's all personal interpretation.

So the day I'd been dreading finally arrived and I knew it was going to be THE SINGLE WORST PERFORMANCE OF MY LIFE!! And it was!! I howled like a baby, I lost my voice, I shook, I was off key, I wished for a hole in the floor to swallow me up! But I did it! As she asked of me. And I just hope that made her happy.
So here it is, the song she so wanted to have see her out.

Thank you so much cutback and onelongsong for helping me get the track the night before the funeral. I'm so grateful to you both for all you did to help a nutty overtired, over emotional, technologically challenged Aussie in the middle of the night! I owe you both a drink.

I completely understand jelly. I cannot believe that I can listen to Mull of Kintyre or Sweet Home Alabama at all! Let alone repeatedly.
It's funny how a loved one can change your life and your opinions even when they're gone.

Also Like a Stone does it for me as well. That was one of his faves right before his condition got real bad.
R.I.P. Colin
Thanks for sharing SoS.
Hope your memories of Colin are with you each and everytime you hear those songs.

The Nirvana unplugged can quite often bring tears.
There is more I'll add later.:)
Especially the chorus, "Oh yeah life goes on, long after the thrill of living is gone" and that's exactly how it felt. Still does.

that's the beauty of music, yes. it transports you back instantaneously, whether it's riding on a bus as summer arrives or sitting in a dark room as winter sets in. films take at least an hour and a half to give you this feeling. books even longer.
