Not "blue moon" or "Moon River"

That's not to say that some tunes do not bring back memories

One Song that really gets me is "The Nearness of You" by Glenn Miller. I cry when I hear it because it reminds me of someone I had loved very much and is now no longer in my life.

this song makes me think of the past.
Natalie Wood in This Property is Condemned. I love that movie as a child (seemed so adult at the time) but the song was in my head for years.

"Wish Me a Rainbow"
Lyrics by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans

It's funny, my younger brother HATES this song with a passion. We'll be sitting in the living room, and my phone will go off "see the tree, how big it's grown, but friend it hasn't been too long, it wasn't big" and my brother storms out of the room! haha.

Honey - The worst song of all time
'See the tree, how big it's' -- groan'

http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/04/19/eye.ent.worstsong/index.html

I don't care what anybody sez it is my favorite song. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It is a tender tale of a man who isn't even kind to his wife: He laughs when she slips, describes her as "kinda dumb and kinda smart" and mocks her for crying at the late show.

"One day while I was not at home / While she was there and all alone / The angels came ..."

And then there's her death. Even in 1968, what kind of jerk wouldn't be at his wife's bedside as she died?

I cried when I first heard it as a child, and still cry as an adult. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap It is so my favorite.

It's one of my favorites, even in its sadness. I guess it just reminds me so much of growing up, my dad always sang it as he'd be waking us for school in the morning, and now sings it in the morning as we're readying for work. Kinda funny how a song so sad can contain a happy memory or two because of the time and place...

"Honey" by Bobby Goldsboro was syrupy bad for sure.
Remember the song in the '70's "Rocky" by Austin Roberts? Maybe a close second?

AtomicEraTom · May 17, 2009

Rocky would definately be in there too.
How about "Seasons in the Sun" by Terry Jacks.

That is so cool!!!! I downloaded it to my phone today. Could you imagine if we were in the same room at the same time and got the same phone call. It would be "Honey" in stereo. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

"Shannon" by Henry Gross (?). I was even more disillusioned when someone told me it was about a dog....

"Alone Again, Naturally" - Gilbert O'Sullivan

The guy I'm dating played "Mad Rush" by Phillip Glass for me the other day. Beautiful, beautiful song. And the way he spoke about it was even more beautiful! He said when he listens to it he imagines everyone in the world waking up at once, ready to accept whatever life gives them. I get shivers now when I listen to it.

This is part of it, it's much longer than 3 minutes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1vMpkIRAjo&feature=related

I got a call today, "Honey" played and some big biker dude came over to me took my phone and broke it. Then he gave the phone back to me.

I am am so bummed :cry: and I missed my call too. No one ever calls me. :beer:
