Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

I was not even born when this song was released. But when I was 14 and unhappily in love I was obsessed with this album. And this song was my favorite, still is.

Waiting for the 7.18 - Bloc Party

Long before I’d been to London or became a train commuter myself, I loved the soundscape and the lyrics in this song. And when I was back in London earlier this year, I actually made sure to spend a day in Brighton

“If I could do it again, I'd make more mistakes
I'd not be so scared of falling”

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

I am having a rough afternoon. Memories of the sandbox. Tonight I will go to better time and place. And just reflecting back to this nite makes me happier.

My wife and I had just met and were going out like crazy. It was a gorgeous June day and I was able to swap dad duties with my ex.

We were jointly celebrating our birthdays (3 days apart). She was dressed super sexy - a dress w a zipper down the front and back strapped heels. She was (and still is) a total smoke show that night.

My now wife’s husband had passed 9 mos earlier and I was recently divorced. But we had an amazing connection right away. Same musical tastes. (Our first date was Fountains of Wayne)

We went to NYC, went shopping and had an early dinner in the village. The show was scheduled early at The Highline Ballroom (like weirdly a 7pm
Show) We got there and saw Hacienda and then The Duke Spirit took the stage. It was loud and heavy. An amazing show. They were really bringing it. We met some people who knew the band afterwards, so we stayed late met the band and had several drinks with them before they headed out for more nightlife.

It was an amazing night! Sorta just what we needed. And reflecting back is just what I needed today. Writing this gave me good focus!!

(we found out later that some people did not know that the showtime was so early, because they opened the club up to become a dance club at 10:30. We met one person who had just gotten there and missed the whole thing.)

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

One of the first of Kent's songs that really got me into the band.
A single that never made it on to an album, it's a song about two lovers stuck inside during the frigid Stockholm winter of 2002.

Kent - Vinter Noll 2 (Winter oh-two)

I have no idea what he's saying, but it's beautiful

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place

growing up with divorced parents, especially during the summer months, i had to go to work with my dad and help him out when i could. he was in the floor covering business for 45 years and always working on one project or another. working with him meant a lot of down town and music on the radio. the oldies stations always played this song during the summer and it has always stuck with me as one of billy joel's best songs.

My family is a very musical bunch and this song, for me, takes me back to the time I started to show them my even differenter, (yes, I shall use that word!) than theirs, side of my music tastes.

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and a place

I was 12 years old when me and my 15 year old brother won tickets through a radio station contest... The seats were right off the side of the stage! We couldn't believe it when the tickets arrived in the mail. (Yes, actual tickets and not something scanned off a phone) ...This was the opening song... I can still see him standing under a lone spotlight, singing this song.

Day 10: A song that’s tied to a time and place
Wheat Kings - The Tragically Hip

This is both tied to a historical time and place and a personal time and place.

It was 1992, and David Milgaard had recently been released from prison after serving 23 years for a heinous crime he didn't commit. He was just 17 when he was wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of nursing assistant Gail Miller.

According to frontman Gord Downie, the song is "about David Milgaard and his faith in himself. And about his mother, Joyce, and her absolute faith in her son's innocence. And about our big country and its faith in man's fallibility. And about Gail Miller, all those mornings ago, just lying there, all her faith bleeding out into that Saskatoon snowbank."

It became known as one of the most infamous wrongdoings in the Canadian criminal justice system, to be studied in law classes across the country.

He was released from prison the same year this song was released. This song puts teenage me in my living room, watching the news break, likely on the CBC. Downie’s lyrics transport me to a place I can see, feel, smell and taste.
I fucking love this song and I think it’s one of the best ever written Canadian songs.

Late-breaking story on the CBC, a nation whispers, we always knew that he'd go free

Twenty years for nothing, well, that's nothing new
Besides, no one's interested in something you didn't do

Day 10: A song that's tied to a time and place

This wasn't the song that made me decide to leave NYC, but it is indelibly tied with making that decision.

"New York's Not My Home," Jim Croce.

 

[vagrantx]

I have no idea what he's saying, but it's beautiful

Yayy! It really is

The chorus has a bit of double meanings, hard to translate, but he's singing about how "you're my hero/I idolize you/I love you/ because you're never afraid, even though you're as weak as I am"

White Horses - Jacky Lee
I can't remember the show, just the song lodged in my brain that plays, oddly, whenever i look at waves on a rough sea.
I also remember the Trashcan Sinatras (UK band) taking to the stage in London to this song.
