A few years ago, I was driving to work and Whitney Houston\u2019s \u201cI\u2019m Your Baby Tonight\u201d<\/i><\/b> came on the radio. It was the first time I\u2019d heard it in years and suddenly I was transported back to a time I was in the car with my good friend Michelle and were singing all the words, even the bridge where Whitney kinda\u2019 goes off \u2013 \u201cyou got the magic\u2026.\u201d It was amazing that for a few seconds, I was sitting right back in that car seat, a teenager, laughing and having a great time with a friend who we\u2019d lose in a car accident two months later. To me, she will forever be linked to that song.<\/p>\n
Other songs evoke memories, too. Here are a few:<\/p>\n
-Mariah Carey & Trey Lorenz \u201cI\u2019ll Be There\u201d<\/i><\/b> \u2013 I was working at White Water amusement park for the summer when the radio stations were wearing this out. From the opening notes, my co-workers would call for me to pay attention so I could sing along, almost totally in falsetto. Good times.<\/p>\n
-Amy Grant \u201cI Will Remember You\u201d<\/i><\/b> \u2013 This song came out as I was finishing my second and final year at Tomlinson College. What a fitting song as I was saying goodbye to so many friends and closing that chapter of my life. <\/p>\n
-Survivor \u201cEye of the Tiger\u201d<\/i><\/b> \u2013 This was the ultimate song when I was going to skating parties. As soon as we\u2019d get to the rink, me and my friends\u2019 main goal to see who could request it first and when it played, it didn\u2019t matter if you were winning at \u201cSpace Invaders\u201d or \u201cPac Man\u201d or had just ordered a pretzel with cheese, you dropped everything and got out on the rink. We were too cool for our own good.<\/p>\n
I may think of more and add them to this but, in the meantime, what are yours? What songs make you think of specific times and people in your life?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
