Thanks for taking the time to share your personal thoughts. It's easy to come off sounding like someone who "walked to school uphill both ways" but through time people who are younger will grow to understand. While many technological changes have enhanced our lives, there's also the concern that we're losing some of the basic skills of interpersonal relationships and communications. Thanks for all the lyrics you share.įlourishAnyway (author) from USA on March 04, 2018:īob - I do the same thing. Memories are what life is made of they are to be cherished. You're not alone!ĭora - I appreciate your stopping by and your kind comment. Mary - How true! There's every crisp detail of some memories but the things you need right now - nothing. But hubby has listened to "Summer of '69" so much it's permanently stuck as a memory in my head. So many good ones in this list! "The Way We Were" was the first one I thought of from your list. Heidi Thorne from Chicago Area on March 05, 2018: Smells are the most powerful memory provocateurs. At least with my son we had birthday my way and his way and guess which ones we remember? My family is not necessarily share my ideas, but I try my best. I went alone, made photos and had "experiences". On my last year birthday (conveniently falling on Halloween - when costumes, decorations and festive mood, in short, the entertainment bit is all taken care of), I went to so called Distillery District in Toronto. My "policy" about birthdays is that we (I) should spend them doing something new (for the first time) no matter how trivial it could be - it's the only way to remember what we did and where we went on that particular year. I agree with your father's idea and commitment to make memories. You'll realize that what you remember is not what it was). (And God forbid, you discover your old diaries or letters or anything written at that time. What makes them so good is that they are old. Oh, the good old days! Fact is, they may not have been all that good. Kallini2010 from Toronto, Canada on March 05, 2018: My husband and I have completely different musical tastes, so I'm thankful for earbuds (as is he). Thanks for sharing this well presented article! What an amazing list of songs! Some lyrics get imprinted in our heart and mind. It may be the cat in me, however.Ĭhitrangada Sharan from New Delhi, India on March 05, 2018: I bet you're one heck of a buddy with your different take on life. I hope those new experiences were good ones. Kallini2010 - I love your spirit, and the fact that you spend your birthday making new memories is inspirational. To me it encompasses the given topic, but it's interpretable.įlourishAnyway (author) from USA on March 05, 2018:Ĭhitrangada - Thanks for the kind sentiments. I didn't see "Good Riddance" by Green Day. "Brown Eyed Girl" is a very special one for me, but there's so many good songs here. Such a fertile topic, impossible to get them all. Larry Rankin from Oklahoma on March 05, 2018: Now I googled the little river band and I am playing their music as I comment.
The Little River Band, wow I use to love that group, that's was so good about your hubs. What a great list! I love adele, but didn't seem to know many of the others, but enjoyed listening to them, great hub as always.įlourishAnyway (author) from USA on March 06, 2018:įrank - I loved them too, and yes, it's been awhile! Glad it brought back the memories for you, buddy. Nell Rose from England on March 08, 2018: Nell - Thanks for stopping by to listen and read. Grandpa (Tell Me 'bout the Good Old Days) I Knew the Bride (When She Used to Rock 'n' Roll)Ħ0. However, she cannot find the words to express herself except to ask whether her friend will remember her.ĥ9. The narrator stands on the edge of a major transition in her life and has so much to say in parting. This Grammy Award-winning pop ballad from 1999 captures the solemn, mournful feeling of saying goodbye. This sentimental 2010 song captures the strange juxtaposition of emotions that is graduation: eagerness to embrace the future that awaits and tentativeness about leaving behind everything that is familiar: For those you do see, life will never be the same. You realize that this is a sea change and you will never see most of these people again. When you walk across the stage at graduation time (or watch a loved one do so), there's a lump that grows in your throat. "Graduation Song: Hold Onto the Memories" by Corey Tynan
