Day 9: A song that reminds you of someone

Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel: Make me smile (come up and see me)

This was always on the juke box in our local pub so always reminds me of my friends back then

I have seen a ton of concerts with my brother but none more memorable than Van Halen. David Lee Roth was so wasted he didn't remember the words to most of the songs except for this one...and it was great. I think of my brother and I laughing our asses off every time I hear this song

Day 9: A song that reminds you of someone

You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of our friends who think I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess

The Story - Brandi Carlisle

I always love when someone besides me posts one of her songs, and this is indeed a lovely choice.

Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone
I had a friend who is no longer around who loved 10,000 maniacs and Nathalie Merchant like some of us love our families.

A old friend who died at a very young age. He was city police who was shot while on duty. I see him dancing to this song with a girl from the Catholic High School.

Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone

This selection is way off of my normal, but I've a high school friend that I think of from time to time, and this was very much his wheel house during the closest parts of our friendship in the mid-to-late 90s. You really haven't heard this song if you haven't cruised the streets of a small city downtown pumping this on a cassette through the fried speakers of a Pontiac Grand Am coupe. You just haven't.

Miss you Kim.

Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone
This was my second choice. My first choice seems to be playing everywhere right now, but the loss is too recent and raw still. This one is sad as well, but I love it. Well, to be honest, I love every single song on Melissa Etheridge's eponymous first album. It is one of my few "never skip even one" albums. Pain, loss, some rage, a bit of grit -- beautiful music. And this one? This draws up memories.

"This whole town is haunted
There'll never be anything new..."

"Precious Pain," Melissa Etheridge.

(Sorry, Nebs, maybe next time around there will be enough distance.)

Count on me -Bruno Mars
Wasn't going to post anything but then this song popped into my mind. Reminds me of my best friend who I let down badly - in the end, he couldn't count on me and I regret that every single day.

Day 9: If Ever I Would Leave You


This song reminds me of someone not on Lit.

My dad sang this at my wedding... I've always loved it. Even though I'm divorced now.

I left him in Autumn, by the way...

Something about this song always reminds me of the 11th US President, James K. Polk
"James K. Polk" - They Might Be Giants

It's a beautiful song and one I learned early on while studying voice.

Day 9 - A song that reminds you of someone

A girl that I dated in HS and college, dumped me and got married to her college bf. I feel like this song was constantly on VH1 the summer we spent together. The other song that was on repeat was ....
