Thinking about an old friend

Actually there are a lot of songs specially the danceable ones that remind me of my friends. Though, they are abroad, they come home every year and we get to bond. I always like listening to those music , when during our college years, we would go discoing until the wee hours of the morning. They were the happiest times of my college life. Though, when we all worked already, discoing was lessened, until we all have our own families and some lives abroad already. Music can indeed remind us of certain people in our lives, that i truly agree with, my friend.

To be reminded again hurts me, A LOT. Music is not the medium which reminds me about them but a particular MMORPG. We used to have fun playing this game, the three of us. A girl, a boy and I. I really like the feeling when the three of us together. Actually the boy had a girlfriend but he told me his in love with our friend which makes our friendship complicated because our friend had no feelings for him and especially when her girlfriend found out. To make it short they both went to a higher university while I went to a lower one. Even though I was able to keep in touch with my friend, the girl, and told me that the boy and his girlfriend broke-up and found a new one but now he doesn't say a word to my friend anymore. Ok to make it short, the boy and I met but as if we're both stranger to each other as if no connection at all. It was the saddest day of my life. Sorry about the response, I wast carried my away thinking of my old friends. T.T

Hi Porsocpino We have so many things in common between us I have a long list of songs that do remind me of my earlier days - specially the college ones - so many memories associated with them. I met a school mate a few months ago - and I even put that on a discussion here - We didnt meet after school and it was about 20 years later that we met. I was shocked to see him become so fragile and looking so very ill. We did meet a few times after this meet before he went back to his city of work. Today, we are connected via FB.

From time to time we came to thinking of people who have shared their lives with us. We certainly would miss them when we get to think of those things we have shared together. It would make us feel sad for thinking of them and suddenly wish to see them again. It's true that when we miss someone we suddenly think of things we have shared together and connect with them again, but then not all people we want to connect again would still be able to connect cause things had gone differently as time goes by and it depends what have we shared together. It's good to be reunited with old friends again. That was my wish to other friends who i can't contact anymore. But there are few who I have met after long years... And it was a good feeling specially cause we shared a lot together. After the meeting, we usually text each other more and more like before, but then we can't change the fact that we sometimes don't have the time to talk or text them but still we are friends...

Songs do set in memories into our mind the first time we hear them. That is why so often people remember the song that was played the first time they met, or one that impacted their life when they were having a hard time. Once the song is played again, it also serves to us as a reminder of that time or person, and sometimes a sign that we should try and get to that place or person again! Hope you try to see your friend and say hello!

Hi Porcospino. Thanks to you.. you just reminded me of someone so dear.. im gonna listen to Summer of '69 again:-)

well, my story is similar but has to do with a tv show that was on during the 1970's called 'Emergency!' my mom and i used to love watching that show and that was a great time in my life. i had a great childhood but sadly, my dad passed away a couple of years ago and while i get the dvds of the show from my library and introduce the show to my kids, time marches on.

Hi Procospino, I'm not so acquainted with Western songs. But some songs of past days of my country make me nostalgic. I remember the songs and my friends. Now friends are scattered. I miss them very much. Some songs were very romantic and our age was also full of romance. When I remember those days I feel happy. It makes me sad also.

that's why i like organizing reunions and meet ups. it's so much fun to see old friends and reminisce good times

Good evening dear mylloter friend Porcospino , well actually i think we all have a song or more songs , i am curently twenty-five years old , and like everyone i have melancolique moments while listening "Lady in Red" , since it takes me back in junior prom night , when i was still so naive and was going out with a highschool sweetheart wich has now becamed my loved wife for more the seven happiest years . I am a romantic at heart ; but i really have a hard time showing it , but the thing keeping my relationship alive is the fact that i make serios atention to birthdays , aniversaries , going out twice a month and much more little thingz that i could still writte about , but i will stop there since it will clearly throw me off-toppic. I wish you the greatest evening dear friend Porcospino. HosmanF.
