Did you ever had some songs that has an impact of your life? Like for instance a song that reminds you of certain individual, place or any significant event in your life. I realy like the song THE SEARCH IS OVER by the Survivors. It reminds me of many things; w/ that I can recall my college days as it was one of the hit songs at that time. However, I am much overwhelmed when I can hear this song as this was a seemingly "theme song" of me and my ex. We both were so inloved w/ each other that time and seems nothing really matters to us at all. We both said "the search is over" as we found each other then. But things changed and we didn't end up w/ each other and the rest is history. How about you, do you have songs that plays significant role in your life? Let us hear the story behind it....come share it w/ us here. Happy mylotting!

I thought that it might just be me but it seems that i have always been moved byumusic more than other people. I seem to feel the emotions more intensely and it makes the song really talk to my heart.

Thank you for your response. I have often wondered at how the same song can mean different things to different people. It takes a truly great song to convey the same meaning to everyone. I really enjoy some of my favorite songs. Thanks for sharing with me!

Well I guess we like most of our native songs specially. I also have many favorite Filipino songs but I just can't share them on here as people can't surely understand them except those Filipinos. Am not really a pure music lover but I do like a lot of songs, specially those that are having impacts in my life, they remind me certain events and individuals I was w/ bwfore. Thanks for the response.

Isn't it funny how a song marks the times of our lives? I have been married twice and had a relationship that lasted 3 years, and with each there was a "song" that we called "ours". With my first it was "Reunited", since we began our relationship separated, were together for a time, were separated again and then were together again. His problem was that he couldn't stay out of trouble and I should have been smart enough to figure out that I deserved better. I finally left him when he left me yet again!! My second song, I can't remember the title of, had something in it about raising a family........he left me because he decided he needed to carry on his family name and I had 4 children from the previous marriage and couldn't have anymore. He had married me, telling me that he was too old to start a family and wanted someone with kids!! Figure that one out!! The third song is "Amazed", by Lonestar, that my guy used to like to tell me was for me! I still love to hear that song, even if we aren't still together but we are still friends. Going WAYYYYYYYY back, the song "we've only just begun" by the Carpenters, makes me think of my high school days since it was our senior them song!

Ye's it's very true, music plays significant roles in our lives as they remind us those memories we had in the past that we can't just forget and refused to forget. Be it w/ our special someones or just w/ the ordinary people we had w/. I also have some songs that remind me of my high school and college days mostly associated w/ fun memories w/ my pals. Thank you very much for sharing your lot, more power and happy mylotting!

Yes, I have. Right now the song that would really describe my relationship now is "You're Still the one" by Shania Twain. It's our theme song actually. It inspires me a lot. There are a lot of songs that I can relate to but so few that can really tell that had an impact to my life.

NIce question. I have tons of songs where whene I hear it I'm like, That's my song but I guess anything about being stronger like stronger by Christina Aguilera Or stronger by Britney Spears. Avril Lavigne gives me my songs for the day, especially when I'm angry or had a bad day.

I do listen to songs. Some songs do remind me of some people and some situation. For example I have danced for a song for an occasion with my friends for a song. Whenever I hear that song I remember that occasion. I have been the Christmas father. So whenever I hear Jingle Bells, I remember the Christmas time. Listening to some songs do make me remember of some individual.

The song "My Way" always reminds me of when I got my first divorce. It still, after many, many years, brings me bitter sweet memories when I hear it.

Just about every single one of my favorite songs either reminds me of a specific person or time in my life. Some of them are odd...the song "Walking on Sunshine" gives me a snapshot memory of my mom and I in her car driving to my grandmother's house when I was a child. My cousin chose that song to play at her wedding a couple years ago also, so now I think of that too when I hear the song. Some songs take me to darker places in my life, but all of them mean something to me. I guess if they didn't, they wouldn't be my favorite songs!

Indeed they play signbificant roles in our lives. It's not only about sad and happy memories of past relationships but also reminds us of those times in our youth, our childhood and the people we have encountered that influenced a lot on us. I also have different other songs that reminds me of the old days of my childhood and younger years; when things are simplier and life was slow and passive. Every song portrays different meaning and memory to different people. Thanks for the response.

I can relate to that as I also have many songs that reminds me of certain peoiple I had encountered in my life before; friends specially. When I hear the song Moonlight Flower I always remember Marcy, a very close room mate I had at college. When I heartd the songs Reality, Cherish, Hello, Where Are You Now? I could immediately remember how happy I was w/ my college friends before; the things we did and the memories we shared. I'll be pondering for a moment wondering where might they've been by now? How are they and what life they are living by now? Thanks for the response and happy mylotting!

Actually, many songs can make me think of the past days. Certain melody even can make me in tears. There is a Chinese old song called" Grandpa is making mooncakes for me". I learned it from my grandfather. Three years before, he passed away. After that, everytime I hear this song or think of the melody and the lyrics of this song, I cried. Musis has the power back taking you back into certain old days, just like a time machine. That's one of the reasons why I love music so much.

You're right, music takes us back to certain times of our lives and makes us feel like we're still on the old past days. it reminds us significant events we can never forget. often it brings us to tears remembering those days we sometimes wish we can go back to. That's how powerful music is. Thanks for the response. Happy mylotting!

Ya, Songs Realy play vital role in our life but it is not limited to only one song as a human being we change our mind time to time so we cant stick to only one song whether it may be reminder for our life, I love many songs like Survivor in Rocky, It inspires me to do something in life, I stay in India so I love many India Songs, Titanic theme songs remember like that

Yes there's a lot of songs that seems appealing to us and we are confused as to which one has really significant touch to us. Well I also have my native songs I like very much but I cannot put it here as not everyone is Filipino so it cannot be understood to. Thanks for the response.

This happens a lot with me. Normally it's just songs fitting a certain mood that I'm in or just so happen to be perfect for certain situations. 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' by Green Day for example, was perfect for when one of my friends was deployed to Iraq and found out that his tour would conveniently be ending around September of the following year. Other than that, I often find that I can relate to the moods of songs from certain musicals or listen to the radio and purchase new songs based on what I've heard because I can relate to it.

That's cool! I guess everybody has different songs they really like because in one way or another it reflects something in their pasts they can always remembered of. And yes, it also depends on the mood as you can always relate to any song that describes most of your mood. Thanks for the response. Happy mylotting!
