Songs that have special meaning to you

KaffeeKlatsch · Marc Jacobs

Right now, this one is very meaningful to me:

Two months is too little.
They let him go, they had no sudden healing.
To think that Providence would take a child from his mother while she prays, is appalling.
Who told us we'd be rescued?
What has changed, and why should we be saved from nightmares?
We're asking why this happens to us, who have died to live? It's unfair...

This is what it means to be held,
how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survive.
This is what it is to be loved, and to know that the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness, we want to taste it, let the hatred know our sorrow.
The wise hand opens slowly to lilies of the valley and... tomorrow.

This is what it means to be held,
how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survive.
This is what it is to be loved, and to know that the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held.

If hope is born of suffering.
If this is only the beginning, can we not wait for one hour, watching for our Savior.

This is what it means to be held,
how it feels when the sacred is torn from your life, and you survive.
This is what it is to be loved, and to know that the promise was when everything fell, we'd be held.

But some that are memory-meaninful include: Celine Dion-Because you loved me, and that Aerosmith One 'I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep, cause I'd miss ya baby, and I don't wanna miss a thing....'

The song "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers reminds me of being in Australia. It just takes me back to my house there, no matter where I am. If I hear the song on the radio, I have to call my old roommates too and play it for them over the cell.

keeper of the stars , and the twleve of never (sang at our wedding) it reminds me how much I love my hubby and all those mushy feelings came back

What should have been(not sure who sings it) This reminds me of my first marriage and Iam very lucky to be a happy point in my life now

I will post some more later

Luv2Shop · Kate Spade

"I hope you dance" That song means a lot to me and my mom. I guess you could say it's "our song" It reminds me of how well she raised me and all that she has done for me and all the times she has been there for me.

"There you'll be" by Faith Hill I danced with my dad at my wedding to this song and it just describes how I feel about him. Pretty much all of the same things I listed above about my mom. My parents are both very special people to me.

"If you're not the one" by Daniel Beddingfield. My husband and my song. All that gushy stuff.

"I'm a survivor" by Destiny's Child. This song came out as I was getting out of an abusive relationship. It really empowered me at that time.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

"I hope you dance" and "friends forever" alway remind me of DH's high school graduation. I was a sophomore and in the choir and we sang them. I cried.

I don't know what it's actually called but "we like to party" (was also on a six flags commercial) always reminds me of dancing in the street in Dublin with my friend.

"Big Yellow Taxi" reminds me of the summer I studied in Belgium.

I love Natalie Grant...This song is amazing, it's been on my Ipod recently played list for months now.

But my song is "Smoke Get's in Your Eyes" my ex-boyfriend, who I'm still really close to, is a Wild Land Fire Fighter, and that's kind of the "i'm headed out to fight fires and will miss you very much" anthem...very very cheesy I know...

Elle · Hermes

The one that immediately comes to mind for me is 'Strawberry Wine', I think by Deanna Carter. Also takes me back to Australia - I found out my grandmother had died suddenly while I was there. My friend let me borrow her CD player and I had it on repeat for the remainder of the trip. The whole loss of innocence theme really resonated with me I suppose.

I'll post more if/when I think of them.

Sandy · Kate Spade

"Amazed" by Lonestar brings me back to my Jr Prom, which was one of the most perfect days of my life. Every time I hear it, I'm back in the ball room at the hotel having the time of my life with my boyfriend and best friends.

Anything by Nora Jones makes me think of my grandma. For Christmas one year, she asked me to get her a nice, mellow CD that she could listen to when she was at the hospital for chemo. I got her Nora Jones, and she absolutely loved it. Every time she talked to me, she would gush about how good this song was or how that song made her feel. My uncle said that her CD was the only music she listened to from then on. She passed the next July. I still find it hard to keep it on the radio without getting a little teary-eyed.

"Center of Attention" by Guster is special because it was practically the anthem song of the best summer ever. Whenever my friends and I headed up to Six Flags and down to the beach, it was on. Whenever my bf and I packed up the car and headed wherever the wind took us, it was on. It was my first summer of freedom, and whenever I hear this song, I get that feeling.

*Where the Green Grass Grows by Tim McGraw and Strawberry Wine by Deena Carter remind me of high school

*George's Bar by Pat Green and Sex Bomb by Tom Jones remind me of college friends

*My mom was Addalade in her college production of Guys and Dolls, so she used to always sing me the entire score when I was little... espcially the song that goes "I love you, a bushel and a peck. A bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck."

*And rendition of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach and Debussy's Nocture Nuages because they're two of my favorite classical pieces and remind me of going to the Children's Symphony performances as a kid.

*Born to Fly by Sara Evans. I used to work for her and this song was her first breakthrough #1 so it was such an exciting time.

Jeff Buckley's cover of the Leanord Cohel song Hallelujah. When my DH (then boyfriend) and I were doing the long distance thing, I would always bawl my eyes out in the airport then listen to that cd all puffy faced on the plane ride home.
Porch by Pearl Jam. I had the worst year of my life when I was 22, and that song always made me feel better. That record had been released 5 years earlier, but for some reason I got really attached to that song at the time. It still makes me happy.

Sunshinegirl · Kate Spade

I know i'm dating myself but i love the song "Do you believe in love" by Huey Lewis and the News. It was kind of my "coming of age" song because i knew i was growing up and leaving behind "the little girl".

I have always loved this song from the musical "Cabaret". It's just so hopeful and shows that love conquers all under any circumstances: The lyrics are beautiful and makes a great "first Dance" song.

MARRIED

HERR SCHULTZ:
How the world can change,
It can change like that.
Due to one little word: "Married."
See a palace rise from a two room flat,
Due to one little word: "Married."
And the world despair that was often there,
Suddenly ceases to be.
For you wake one day, look around and say:
"Somebody wonderful married me."

FRДULEIN SCHNEIDER:
How the world can change,
It can change like that.
Due to one little word:

BOTH:
"Married."

FRДULEIN SCHNEIDER:
See a palace rise from a two room flat,
Due to one little word:

BOTH
"Married."

FRДULEIN SCHNEIDER:
And the world despair that was often there,
Suddenly ceases to be.

BOTH:
For you wake one day, look around and say:

HERR SCHULTZ:
"Somebody wonderful--

FRДULEIN SCHNEIDER:
"Somebody wonderful

BOTH:
Married me."

MissMee · Kate Spade

Dido's "Thank You" because that was our wedding song.

CarrieS · Marc Jacobs

Not so much special, as in "brings up sad thoughts" instead, but "Photograph" from Def Leppard stirs up some strong emotions about an ex (who I hope karma bites in the ass someday).

I still love the song though, even if it has a sadder side for me sometimes...

Maddie · Coach

I'm always attempting to set my life to music so I have a bunch...

Under Control by the Strokes is my song with my best friend.

The Way We Get By by Spoon and Wasted and Ready by Ben Kweller remind me of high school.

Our Time by Yeah Yeah Yeahs reminds me of my college friends.

We're Just Friends by Wilco, Creep by Radiohead and Trouble by Cat Stevens have pulled me through hard times.

The Promise by Tracy Chapman reminds me of my ex because I'm so cheesy. So so cheesy.

halleybird · Hermes

Disney songs: "Once Upon a Dream" (from Sleeping Beauty, my dad & I danced to it at his wedding and at mine); "We're the Best of Friends" (from The Fox & the Hound, b/c I always sing it to my dogs)

"You are My Sunshine" -- my mom used to sing that to us. And lots of mid-90s alternative rock -- Dave Matthews, Bush, the Goo Goo Dolls -- because it reminds me of going to concerts with my husband when we were growing up.

erin · Chanel

"island in the sun" by weezer. my husband and i consider that "our song."

bex · Chanel

"build me up buttercup" reminds me of my best friends from college.

relrel · Marc Jacobs

oh dear there is so many but im just gonna tell the one that came to mind right away. my older sister and i don't get a long at all. i love her because she is my sister, but i don't like her personality or character. however, she and i are only a year apart and we were the first two (in a line of five daughters!) so there is always a special bond because we are the oldest. anyway, "our" song growing up is we built this city on rock and roll. i don't remember why it's our song but whenever it comes on it makes me think of her. it's about the only good memories or thoughts i ever have of her. even now at holidays and such, if somehow that song gets mentioned our eyes always meet and it's sorta nice. but i still don't like her.

scarlett · Marc Jacobs

This will sound weird, but my family loves Marvin Gaye and for some reason we all end up dancing around to his song "Let's Get It On." But we're not incestuous! It's great for singing along.
