Music Takes You Back - Page 2

a girl I used to be very close with told me about 40 minutes ago "I cant be with you" by the Cranberries reminds her of me.
what followed from me... was the dryest "cheers" ever.

Dylan's You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go- First love. Last year of college, friend/twin turns more, then friend again, I still have his Blood on the Tracks. When I hear any of that album I have to stop. Still makes me hurt (good hurt) and smile. Then I usually have to go through a ritual playing of the LP. I will always have that record.

Julian Lennon- Much too Late for goodbyes- Move to MN, String of jobs, one baking pies in a 24 hour restaurant. Song comes on the cook line radio, dancing around the restaurant kitchen singing much to late for good pies. Making crusty cooks laugh. Still makes me laugh when I hear it.

For Once in My Life- Stevie Wonder, Sappy song that always reminds me of that reserved Mr. Warch's soft center.

Jr.Brown- Broke Down South of Dallas- takes me back old Antone's in Austin, the dark greasy former steakhouse joint. Tuesday night, 12 people. Where did this guy come from? Bathrooms behind the stage, hot and sweaty, pitcher of water on that back bar corner for when you ran out of cash but were still thirsty. Everything smells like BBQ.

Dvorak- New World Symphony- Grade 12, symphonic winds concert at Lebanon Valley College. New auditorium. Our little high school outfit plays the first two notes, we pause, and it echos and bounces, shivers me timbers as I am in the middle playing that bassoon poorly, but suddenly motivate to play my meager best. That song will always do that for me.

1974 - Isao Tomita - Claire de Lune - I'm lying on my bed, talking to my g/f on the phone. Can't remember what about, just that the song blew my mind. Someone was doing things with synthesizers that I didn't even know were possible.

1974 - Bob Dylan's entire "Blood on the Tracks" album - I'm driving at night in a hideous snowstorm, on my way to clean another stinking restaurant.

1969 - Beatles "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?" - I have just come to realize how utterly cool my mother was for buying me this album.

1968 - The Who "Happy Jack" - my cousin has just opened an entire new world of rock and roll for me. Before I heard this, I thought the entire world spun on MOR adult AM music because my mom worked for the radio station.

1989 - Peter Gabriel "Passion" - my ex wife screwed my brains out after sitting around a campfire smoking dope, drinking wine, and listening to this album. Seriously, get it, put it on, and have sex.

BEHOLD, THE POWER OF MUSIC...

I have been amazed about how quickly you can go back, with just hearing a few notes!

Almost anything by Bryan Adams makes me tear up, thinking about my first love... and of course, what could have been.

Any 80s hairband music makes me appreciate my youth, and, also makes me hope that when MY CHILD tries to pull the same illegal/immoral/inappropriate nonsense, I will be one step ahead of him..

Truckin' by Grateful Dead - there once was a party, when I stole a cassette (yes, I said cassette), because I was so into the music - I just HAD to have it!

no and no, but more details usually make the story more fun...

I'm just glad it doesn't literally take me back....Oh jeez...

Everytime I hear the song Time Was by Wishbone Ash from the Argus album I always remember the smell of her hair then I'm sad because I remember we broke up and she moved away.
But it was our album for so many reasons

LJ, I never heard of the Dan Band before, but I think they're the only thing I've heard in 40 years that's fresh, talented, and musical. They even make me rethink my bias against changing the meaning of the word gay. They are GREAT!

Downer Alert -

Neil Young - Southern Man

In September 1988, my best friend and I took our girlfriends to a cabin his folks owned in upstate New York. The girls were taking a nap, and he and I were on the porch, watching the sunset, smoking a joint, and having a beer.

During this song, he turned to me and stated that he had leukemia.

I was dumbstruck.

He told me that he wouldn't make it to graduation.

We sat in silence for about an hour, just staring out over the lake.

Two months later, I was one of his pall-bearers.
