...provokes a less-than-good feeling when you hear it? Don't answer on the basis of sucktitude, because there are a blue million songs out there that piss me off because they suck so damnably hard.

I want to know what songs are tied to a memory which leaves you with a melancholy feeling. What song was playing when you got dumped by someone you loved? That sort of thing.

I'll start:

Le Rendez-Vous by Manu Chao. I had been listening to this song, on repeat, because it made me happy the night I first escaped the house with my ex, Noel. I was in such a hurry when I left my house, I just grabbed my stuff and left without turning anything off. When we returned, it was still playing.

I tied this memory to a happy time, and continued to think of it happily in light of the song and our date in general. Til he dumped me a year and a bit later. Now, when I hear it, it makes me want to stab a motherfucker.

ugh, why bring up ugly memories.

"Happy Xmas War is Over" by John Lennon... it was my Mum's favourite song and the last song she ever heard

"Friends in Low Places" by Garth Brooks... was played at the funeral of someone else very close

"Wind beneath my Wings" by Bette Midler is another one that is very emotional because of Mum

Eurythmics' 1984. I remember bouncing on my mum & dad's bed when it was on the radio. A asphixiating razor meloncholy takes the wheel of my throat when I hear that shit, man. I really, really wish I was 5 again.

Who'd have guessed. but:

Nine Inch Nails - I do not want this

Really...destroys me. I told Laurel, I ain't gonna tell the rest of yas.

Radiohead's OK Computer as an entire album makes me want to die then and there whilst I think of where I was at in my life as a gentle, pot-smoking 14 year old on the road to failure.

Love will tear us apart makes me remember the first time I cut myself.

Eurythmics make me sad, too. Whenever I head "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)", it takes me back to alotta garbage.

definitely 'she will be loved' by maroon 5...i hate that band, but the song just reminds me of a really fucked-up situation. oh, and emily bindiger's 'adieu'. brand new's 'no seatbelt song'. death cab for cutie's 'tiny vessels'.

I have horrible memories associated with every Cranberries single.

There are several, but that stupid pina colada song was kind of a "thing" in my last relationship (which I should have taken as a bad sign, but whatever), and now when I come across it, it's sad. Breaking somebody's heart really sucks.

this whole album. it brings up both bad and good memories for me: bad, because of the situation my dad and i were in at the time it was out...and good, because it was sorta like a musical babysitter for me when my dad was out all day and it made me kinda happy to listen to it.

Against all Odds stil makes me cry after the adoption story I read here on the org

I like that song.

thesexofit said:

I like it, but I will always cry now

ZombieKitten said:

It makes me sad anyway LOL.

"Wherever U Go, Whatever U Do"...reminds me of a person who was very special to me...until we parted ways forever.

thesexofit said:

oh I love those little Haribo sweets like in your avvie! I like strawberry best

ZombieKitten said:

Yeah, iam surprised you know them. I thought Haribo was Europe only. The pics they use for this type of sweet are a bit weird, but funny all the same. They are sweet erotica or whatever

thesexofit said:

we can get them at Aldi

The green thing and the lemmon are getting it on. I love it.

The Ballad of Dorothy Parker. It was part of a mixed cd made for me full of songs that have my name (Joni) in them, by my ex. Can't really listen to the cd or any of the songs, but that one's the worst b/c it's Prince & Joni.
