Music and Relationships

I made a quick out of town trip this weekend which means conversation and of course lots of music on the road. Did I hear any new music that caught my attention? Not really but the drive was rewarded with a few good throw backs that had me reminiscing. Now I know the one thing we all have in common is that we all have a song that takes you back to a certain time, place and more importantly, a person.

It was 5th grade in Chula Vista, CA when my girlfriend asked me what MY favorite song was. She cornered me in the walkway since we spent absolutely no time together and other the walking around the field at lunch time, just passed a note hear and there. None the less she was my girlfriend and approached me with this extremely serious question. My answer will remain a mystery here but I know it, remember it and hopefully she still does as well. I asked her the same question and her answer became one of my all time favorite tracks to this day.

Share your story in the comment section and you'll probably smile while you're writing the way I am now thinking about the past. MUSIC is one of the few things that can take you right back to the lunch dance, family party, friends piled in your car on a weekend night, date, break up and or a persons face. Thanks to the song you can still remember what they were wearing on a certain day, what his/her smile was like and have you thinking about other things (ha ha) as well.

I don't believe song writers to this day understand the magnitude of the songs they write and how much it effects our lives forever. If you could thank one song writer for a certain song they wrote, who would it be? What was the song? If you're a shower performer like me (only place I sound good) you definitely sing that one song more than all others. Share it with us. What is it?

Maybe if you could, without upsetting your significant other or theirs, call that person and tell them what song reminds you of them. Ok, I'll even put it out there. What song reminds you of me? I already know this answer since people always tell me. Even better, post a youtube of the song on facebook and see of they get it. If they don't, they don't, but if they do, instant music conversation. If this does work in your favor and the discussion turns to music, we have done our job. Keep the music conversations alive and we keep the artists, song and era alive as well.

Take a chance and turn it up.
