Memories in Song.

Do you have a favourite song? One that whenever it comes on you just can't help but sing, dance and have fun? Or one that makes you think of an old memory, takes you back in time to a special moment?

I always seem to associate certain songs with special moments or times in my life. Like Build Me Up Buttercup by The Temptations is the song I associate with my high school best friends. It was a song we just had to sing and dance to anytime we heard it. 

Or Everywhere I Go by Hollywood Undead with old of my really good friends that lives out of town and our trips out to our old favourite bar. (That was closed forever last year.)

Here are my ten most favourite songs that take me back to past memories. (In no particular order). 

The Middle - Jimmy Eat World

"It just takes some time, little girl you're in the middle of the ride, everything, everything will be just fine, everything, everything, will be alright, alright."

Here's To Us - Halestorm

"Stuck it out this far together, put our dreams through the shredder. Let's toast, 'cause things, got better. 'Cause everything could change like that, and all these years go by so fast, but, nothing lasts, forever."

Unwell - Matchbox 20

"But I'm not crazy I'm just a little unwell, I know, right now you can't tell. But stay a while and maybe then you'll see, a different side of me. I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired. I know, right now you don't care. But soon enough you're gonna think of me, and how I used to be."

Standing Outside the Fire - Garth Brooks

"We call them strong, those who can face this world alone, Who seem to get by on their own, those who will never take the fall. We call them weak, who are unable to resist. The slightest chance love might exist, and for that forsake it all. The're so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire, convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire."

Here I Go Again - Whitesnake
"And here I go again on my own, going down the only road I've ever know. Like a drifter I was born to walk alone, But Ive made up my mind, I ain't wasting no more time."

Where Does The Good Go - Tegan & Sara

"Where do you go, with your broken heart in tow? What do you do, with the leftover you? How do you know, when to let go? Where does the good go? Where does the good go?"

Paradise by the Dashboard Light - Meatloaf

"Now our bodies are oh so close and tight, it never felt so good it never felt so right. And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife, glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife. Come on, hold on tight, oh come on, hold on tight. Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night, I can see Paradise by the dashboard light."

Bed of Roses - Jon Bon Jovi

"I wanna lay, you down in a bed of roses. For tonight, I'll sleep on a bed of nails. Oh, I wanna be, just as close as, your holy ghost is, and lay you down. On a bed of roses."

She's My Kind of Crazy - Emerson Drive

"She's my kind of Sunday driving. Rolling down the back roads hanging out the window. Riding with her hair in the wind and her hands in the sky, like she's flying. She's my kind of pony tail pretty, sounds like the country, looks like the city. I march along to what ever out of town drum she plays me. She's my kind of crazy."

Hurts So Good - John Cougar Mellancamp

"Come on and make it uh, hurt so good. Come on baby make it hurt so good. Sometimes love don't feel like it should. You make it, hurt so good."
