Songs connected to a memory

People say that it only takes one song to bring back a thousand memories. Usually that is true for me if a song is playing during a specific moment in my life, that song will always be connected to the memory. Here are a few songs that do that to me.


" We are never getting back together" - Taylor Swift
This song was playing on a loop when I was hanging out with my friends one day. They were talking about A  guy I had liked at the time ( kind of negatively I might add). It was at that moment that I realized it was time for me to get over him. I mean , why hold on to feelings for a person who doesn't feel the same way?  That song still leaves me with a little ache but it also reminds me how glad I am that I made the decision that I did.


" Don't stop believing" - Journey
This song brings back too many memories to count but I'll mention a few. First, it reminds me of the night I met my boyfriend ( it was one of the first songs we danced to ). Secondly it was practically the anthem for  high school marching band my junior year. We played a journey show and we would turn up the song in the band room to sing along too. Not to mention it was an empowering song in glee , one of my favorite shows. I have so many good memories with this song and it will always be a favorite.


" everything you're not"- Demi Lovato
This song reminds me of the insecurity I had  my freshman year of high school , thinking I would lose  my boyfriend. I had this dream that we went together to another dance. I went dressed nice, thinking it was semi formal but it wasn't. He had showed up before me and was dancing by another girl to a fast pace song. Though she was dressed casually , I still thought she was prettier than me. She was an upperclassman like he was and athletic too. When I finally got him to dance with me to the song in bold above. The song started out slow so he had his arms around me . His focus was on the other girl though and when the song sped up , he let go and danced with the other girl. I don't experience that insecurity much anymore because my boyfriend always reminds me how much I mean to him.


 " wind beneath my wings"- ?
This song always reminds me of my grandmother's funeral. I had lost her when I was about 9. My older cousin had sang this song so beautifully there. The song is so inspiring though , just like my grandmother was. It's still hard for me not to feel like crying when I hear this song.


" September" - Earth , wind and fire
More marching band memories. Earth , wind and fire was a show we had my senior year. A main memory I have of this song was piling into my cousin( the drum majors) vehicle after a party and jamming out to this song as he drove to take everyone home. That was a great marching season. Oh my , I could make a whole list of songs that remind me of my high school band but I don't think I have enough time  and I would side track me from what I am currently posting.
