Songs that have Significance...

[IowaHawkeye]

DBPM04 - another fabulous song i LOVE by the indigo girls is "The Power of Two" it has an excellent almost sisterhood/friendship feel to it :-D

[Ideal08]

Now and Forever, by Carol something or other, I think. This song is in the movie A League of Their Own, at the very beginning.

Anyway, the lyrics tell the story of me and my closest friends from college. I get teary eyed whenever I hear it.

How Sweet it is (to be loved by you), done by James Taylor, off his Greatest hits album - So many nights in the dorm slow dancing to that one

Love and Luck by Jimmy Buffett - When we're having troubles, it helps bring us up, when we're doing well, it reminds us how happy we are. "With a little love and luck, we will get by..."

I Can't Tell you Why by The Eagles - "Look at us baby, up all night, tearing our love apart. Weren't we the same two people who lived through years in the dark? Every time I try to walk away, Something makes me turn around and stay, and I can't tell you why...Nothin's wrong as far as I can see, we make love harder than it has to be, and I can't tell you why..." - hearing that song when we were having some tough times helped slap us back into reality and realize that we were meant to be together and that we were just being stupid

[shadokat]

I could go on and on...

"Doin' It" by L.L. Cool J. We danced to this and "No Diggity" about 300 times one summer at college.

"Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root. Again, it is like *the* song for my friends at this one bar.

"These Are Days" by 10,000 Maniacs. It's my pledge class song.

"More Than Words" by Extreme. High school boyfriend's song

[amycat412]

"more than word to show you feel that my love for you is real..." OMG I used to LOVE that song...senior year in college!

Chris Gaines - "That's the way I remember it"

It's only natural with time, details can somehow slip your mind, something so sweet, though incomplete, you fill the spaces in between. It will never be that way again, maybe it wasn't way back then, but to my heart and soul... this is the way the story has to be told.

Reminds me of someone remembering all the good times she had in college. She can't remember everything but she fills in the spaces and tells someone the story of the best part of her life.

When I finally write a screen play portraying greek life POSITIVELY... that will be the theme song!

hi DZROSE! I will email you 2m, same reason as stated above to Iowahawkeye! (edited April 09, 2001).]

Looking forward to it newbie!!

By the way, one of my favorite songs is one that my ex-boyfriend and I listened to in college. "Rebecca Lynn" - it's a slow country song by Bryan White. It was special to me because my ex and I both loved it, which was rare considering that he hated nearly every other country song in existence!

Another favorite is "Sweet Baby James" by James Taylor. My mom used to sing it to my brother (James is his first name although he goes by Clay) when he was a baby. Kind of a sentimental favorite for me.

Also, when I want something to pick me up I listen to Jimmy Buffett. I love everything the man's ever done, but particularly "The Weather Is Here, Wish You Were Beautiful" and "Tryin' to Reason with Hurrican Season". Buffett's a genius, period.

Ahhh...Car, you know all about the "songs" that have meanings to me!!

To all GCs--hehe, there are many songs that have "significance" to me--but some are really too emotional, so I won't post those! but here are the ones that I will post...

"Hero"by Mariah Carey--last dance for 8th Grade Graduation--it was so sad--b/c this guy friend that I really liked, and he liked me back--we never got together, b/c we didn't want to "ruin the friendship." I actually cried during the playing of the song!

"With or Without You" by U2--arghh, just like Ross and Rachel on "Friends"--as Carolyn mentioned in her post--my bf called into a radio station, telling them to play it...saying he "couldn't live w/out me." Ha--the next day I see him kissing another girl. Well, this song has always caused some pain for me!

"I will Survive" by ???-my gosh, this has gotten me through after breaking up with asshole after asshole, LOL...I praise you whoever wrote this song!!

"Because the NIght" by 10,000 Maniacs--played at a club--a fiery, passionate song...led me to my current boyfriend, so it's "our song"

First things first, 33girl-I LOVE CHICAGO! I had the opportunity to go see them in concert during spring break. Unfortunately, not having Peter there wasn't the same, but they're still awesome!

OTW - My little and I go to see Chicago every summer!! It's such a nice time - a warm summer night (if we're lucky) out on the grass and the concert goes by so fast, it's like it's only 15 minutes long - so you have to play all the albums on the way home in the car. I love to go there and see such a wide range of ages, too.

"My Boo" and "Twisted" - DAMN! - I forgot all about those two!

GREAT POST! i gotta say one of the all time songs thats gonna stick with me, is me and my ex's song, 'falling is like this' by ani difranco, dont worry, barely anybody knows who she is..... anyways.... goes a lil somethin' like this....

you give me that look thats like laughing with liquid in your mouth, like youre choosing between chocking and spitting it all out, like youre trying to fight gravity on a planet that insists that love is like falling, and falling is like this.

feels like reckless driving when were talking, its fun while it lasts and its faster than walking, but no one is going to sympathize when we crash, theyll say you hit what you head for, you get what you ask, and well say we didnt know, no we didnt even try, one minute there was road beneath us and the next just sky

im sorry i cant help you. i cannot keep you safe.sorry i cant help myself so dont look at me that way. we cant fight gravity on a planet that insists that love is like falling and falling is like this.

LOL... i guess the lyrics are even more fitting now that shes my ex. *shrugs* all ani's songs are amazing, but this one always hits me the hardest.

I give praises to Gloria Gaynor for that song! I think that many women have felt Gloria's pain at least once in their lives.
