Music that reminds us of others

Disclaimer: Some I will tell who these remind me of, some I won't, some the person in question will know. I may or may not answer questions if asked.
That's What Friends Are For - Dionne Warwick, Stevie Wonder, Luther Vandross & Whitney Houston
A friend a long time ago sang this to me before she passed. Makes me cry to this day.
Love to Hate You - Erasure
Singing in the car with Auralee
Tainted Love (where did our love go) - Soft Cell
This is one of my favorit songs, it always came on between 8:15 and 8:45 while I was mopping at the sub shop. I kind of miss that crew.
When Doves Cry - Prince
In hindsight, if this is 'your song' there is quite possibly something wrong with the relationship. It is still a great song that pre-dated and out lasted the relationship. We still have great harmonies.
Side note: I wish I could remember the song that was playing during the Frat Boy Incident at the Lox Stock. I recently heard Charlie's version, gotta love different perspectives.
Darling Nikki - Prince
Speaking of Lox Stock, Will would play this for my closing song most weeks. For those that remember him, Will is now a single father.
Not for people with delicate sensibilities.
Untouchable Face - Ani DiFranco
Playing pool at the local dive after someone had a bad day or when boys were being dumb. (This a recycle from a previous list, but I love this song.)
Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper
This one reminds me of Charlie.
Paradise By The Dashboard Light - Meatloaf
This one reminds me of my mom, she used this song as an illustration of giving into hormones.
Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are - Meatloaf
This one reminds me of Rusty. It's been 17 years and I still miss him terribly.
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
This has had different meanings over the years. It has become some sort of anthem for my love life.
Drift Away - Uncle Kracker
I remember singing along to this with my mom over the years, the original verision that is. It explains how I feel about music. This is a go to song when things to pear shaped.
Torn by Johann Lippowitz with Natalie Imbruglia
This song was on constant replay the summer - spring of 1997 - 1998. My mom said it was sick for a pregnant girl to listen to, but it has several levels of meaning. :) On a side note: I love this video.
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
This one has two memories. When it first came out, my best friend and I would watch this on MTV and make prank calls. Years later, I can hear it being sung on the back of a motorcycle at 70.
Baby Driver - Simon & Garfunkel
Driving up Mt. Rainer with my mom and Tim Arkills. This was the first time I had been extensively exposed to S&G. Needless to say, it stuck.
Kissing A Fool - Michael Buble
This is one that the person will know who they are.
I'm not sure if I like this one better than George Michael's version.
Galileo - Indigo Girls
This one reminds me of Erica.
Mystery - Indigo Girls
This one has applied to several people over the years, they will know who they are.
Praise You - Fatboy Slim
This is the song I have applied the relationship I was in at the time, it makes me think of lots of people. I wanted it at my wedding, but I didn't think it would come accross on the accordian.
Call Me When You're Sober - Evanescence
This one makes me think of how I felt after I left Joe, it just came out several years too late to actually apply.
Broken - Seether ft. Amy Lee
Another one the person will know.
Careless Whisper - George Michael
Your House - Alanis Morissette
Sitting at the playground with Kimmie and Suzie with the boombox on top of the car singing at the top of our lungs. The song applied to each of us differently. This one will also go on the stalker song list that I want to do.
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morissette
Jagged Little Pill came out about the time that I found out someone was cheating on me... lets just say I love this CD and it has several of my favorite eff-you songs.
Fly Away - Poe
I couldn't find a decent video, but one he will know that his is for him, and that he should not listen to this. I love you. I wonder if the other will figure it out.
Angry Anymore - Ani DiFranco
Bring Me Some Water - Melissa Etheridge with Joan Osborne
Hakuna Matata
I believe this was on several mixes that Auralee and I had.
Silent Lucidity - Queensryche
Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers
This was sang to by the guys from youth group to win a game. If I remember right it was Jacob, Jay, Brian, Jeremy, Tim and maybe Kris. I still smile and think about them whenever I hear this.
Power of Two
Wild, Wild West - Escape Club
This one has several memories, the most recent is Danna and I morrifying Madi in front of IHOP by car dancing.
I could go on all day, but Alex wants to head out the Tattoo Expo. Have a good week.
