When THAT Song Reminds You of Someone
Today, I was taking the bus home, and while listening to my MP3 I came across a few songs that reminds me of someone I almost “loved”. It was one those slow R&B songs from the 1970s. And while I was sitting by the window on the bus, this slow song by the Intruders came on and went with what I saw before I got lost in my thoughts. What I saw was that it was raining, and its very weird that whenever I go out in the rain this song just randomly starts playing on my MP3.
My thoughts started to go back three years ago and I started to think about Carry (yes a guys name).
Carry was this guy who was flat out hilarious. He even didn’t have to say anything because his expressions said it all. He was also very caring and cared a lot about people. He would even offer his seat to someone just because he thought about that person more than he thought about himself. And he was also very polite towards those around him.I had met Carry during our freshman year of high school. I don’t remember exactly how we met, but all I remember is how badly we use to torture each other every time we ran into each other between our class periods. Haha Memories…But I ended up changing schools before my Junior year and I went months without seeing him until one day he shouted “MY CRUSH!!” as I got on the bus and walked towards the back without even seeing that he was there. He had no shame in his game and if he liked you more than ever he would be sure to tell you even if it put you in an awkward position. Did I mention that he was very down to earth? Well, he was that too.
But during the times when I was rekindling our little friendship I was dating a guy who was very possessive towards me and of course threatened to hurt Carry if he continued on with our friendship. Carry was basically the only friend I had, and who was willing to help me even though I didn’t want to be helped, held or filled with kisses. But he stuck around long enough before I pushed him away. And I know it had hurt him, I felt his hurt even though I wasn’t there to see it.
Its been about three years since I last saw Carry and talked to him. And the reason why these songs I play remind me of him is because that was all he use to play. I could hear him play those old songs and say “now what you know about this?” Not that I didn’t know the songs, because I knew all the songs before he old me he had an old soul like I had.
I’ve been trying to find him from myspace to just randomly looking through my old phone books every now and then. But looking for him is just impossible…almost as if he never existed. I just wish to hear his voice again and apologize for everything I’ve ever said to him.

the song thunder by boys like girls makes me think of the first guy i was in a real relationship with. i thought i loved him..
Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd still gets me every time I hear it.
There are so many songs that remind me of current and past relationships. They commonly choke me up when I hear them. Come Away With Me by Norah Jones was the first song that I associated with a relationship.
To Be With You by Mr. Big, unfortunately, reminds me of my ex. Yuck.
And I just listened to it. Why did I do that? Now I'm kind of sad. OMG NO.
Cold by Crossfade..reminds me of someone. I always imagine it's his apology to me. I don't know if it actually is, but for some reason I think that's why he ever introduced me to the song.
My ex-bf told me that the song "Somebody" by Depeche Mode was his favorite and that he said the lyrics to some girl and it didn't work.
@HollowTendencies@xanga - LOL...I know!
As much as I love Sarah McLachlin, I stay away from her because her songs are suicidal and all I listened to during ALL my bad break ups or sad times....
@Wait_by_Moonlight@xanga - Me too.
Overweight by Blue October is also one that really gets me..
aww I am so sorry. I wanted to cry when I read this:/..
when I come across a song on the radio or my mp3 player that reminds me of my past I change it immediately, regardless of what I am doing.
We usually listen to music at work and I have even stopped in the middle of helping my customer to change the station if I have to. I can't be reminded of the past. It is so painful.
Well just from going from the title and not reading the rest I got to say, when a song makes me dwell on the past in a negative way, I turn the station or shuffle the ipod. Memmories are good to learn from but you should't wallow in something that makes you unhappy if you can help it.
@methodElevated@xanga - I love Norah Jones!
superhuman by chris brown
and never say never by the fraywe listened to those two together...:/
wish you were here, i like sparklehorses version better
autumns monologue by from autumn to ashes
a crap load of secondhand serenade songs
1,2,3,4, write you a song, and sunlight by plain white t's
crush'd, less cute, and alive with the glory of love by say anything
those little things - carla bruni
the whole moulin rouge soundtrack lol
I could go on XD I'm reminded of much by songs, songs that go along with my emotions at the time help me either cope when its a bad feeling and get over it faster or feel that emotion stronger when its a good emotion.
Everytime I hear the song "Without You" by MxPx I think about the first guy I had a crush on. He, of course, had to tell me that the song reminded him of me and sang it to me one time.
This exact same thing has happened to me, too...
Except the rain thing lol
He's amazing.
We don't talk much anymore... It sucks.
Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Hysteric by The YYYs.
Al Green "Let's Stay Together" reminds me of someone.
i know the feeling. whenever i listen to my ipod, if i come across a song that reminds me of someone, i only think of the good times we've shared and remember that it was good while it lasted.
There's a bunch of songs that remind me of different people. I won't listen to "Yeah" by Usher because of unpleasant memories associated with that song.
But I can listen to Switchfoot's "On Fire" because it brings back good memories of a guy I was friends with a few years ago.
Because of You by Kelly Clarkson... brings back horrible memories. I can't listen to this song without crying.
this is so weird cause i just listened to "hands in the sky (big shot)" by straylight run and i associate that with my ex and so for that reason i rarely listen to it, but i was tempted before...hm.
also, Sanctuary (from the video game kingdom hearts lol) and Hotel California by the Eagles make me think of the same ex... my first love :[ i'm sure there's more but i don't really wanna think about it.
bed by j holiday haha i used to hate it now i love it still
@TheGreatTreeofAvalon@xanga - love autumn's monologue and the fiction we live by from autumn to ashes. definitely part of my picks too.
i think it's safe to say almost every song i love reminds me of someone dear or someone who used to be dear to me. lame to say but it's true.
new american classic, taking back sunday

falling away with you, muse
i belong to you, muse
the drama summer, the starting line

I've Been Waiting For a Girl Like You, by Foreigner always reminds me of my first boyfriend. It always makes me feel bittersweet. Your Song by Elton John reminds me of a guy I had a thing with for a little while before I went off to college... he sang it to me. :)
