THE Song that hits home

Ok, so there have been a lot of songs from the 80's and 90's posted, but what about that one song that, when you hear it, brings back memories, makes you think of a lost love, a past love, a past experience, etc?

I never really had one until about a year ago when Nickelback's "All the Right Reasons" CD came out. The song is called Far Away.

When I heard it for the first few times, I cried listening to it. It brought back memories of a few people in my life I never got to say goodbye to or to tell them that I loved them one last time. It still brings tears to my eyes.

Ex-Factor by Lauryn Hill. It could have been written for me.

ugh...i can't stand Nickelback...they are horrible imo!!!

Incubus - Nice to Know You
Incubus - Echo
3 Doors Down - Here Without You
Stevie Wonder - I Just Called to Say I Love You
Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah

"angel's wings" by social distortion...that's one that does it for me

"ugh...i can't stand Nickelback...they are horrible imo!!!"

"The Search Is Over - Survivor (That's who sings it!! For some reason, this reminds me of moon's situation with Aquaman)"

-yeah, that actually really does sounds like the continuing saga of me and aquaman!!!

and, let's hope that "the search is over" 😉

sorry peach...didn't mean to cut you down or anything...it wasn't an insult thrown at you...i just really don't like nickelback...they just really bug me.

no problem. there are only 3 people on this board that irritate the hell out of me; you're not one of them. 😉

"Angel's Wings" by Social Distortion:


You say you're down on your luck
Hey baby, its a long, long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
You say you're really down and out
And you feel like there's no way out now
Let go now let go of your tears some more

How many times have you asked yourself
Is this the hand of fate that I've been dealt?
You're so disillusioned this can't be real
And you can't stand now the way you feel

I don't care about what they say
I won't live or die that way
Tired of figuring out things on my own
Angel's wings wont you carry me home

[Chorus:]
You say you're down on your luck
Hey baby, its a long, long way up
Hold back now, hold back your fears
And when you're really down and out
And you feel like there's no way out now
Let go now let go of your tears some more

[Chorus]

I triumphed in the face of adversity
And I became the man I never thought I'd be
And now my biggest challenge, a thing called love
I guess I'm not as tough as I thought I was

I don't care about what they say
I'm gonna marry you some day
Go ahead and wake up, its a brand new day
Angel's wings gonna carry you away
Angels wings are going to carry me away
Angels wings are going to carry us away

gl...i just went onto amazon to listen to that Survivor song...and now i know what that song is...yep, i remember that one!!!
