I thought this would be neat to have a thread about very specific songs that elicit an powerful, yet specific memory from your childhood, and what exactly that memory was and what you think about every time you hear the song - either on the radio or by it just so happening to come up in youtube or whatever.
Music has always had a profound effect on me. I cannot work well without music (and would do bad at any job I could not have it at). A video game can still be enjoyable to me if it has an amazing soundtrack even if the game isnt very good and the opposite is true as well - an amazing game with a terrible soundtrack is hard for me to play. I rarely turn music off on games. I probably spend at least 6 hours a day listening to music of some kind, and I love practically anything except maybe gangster rap.
I'll start with two for me.
My mom always played this song after my parents divorced. I made a cassette tape of me trying to sing it to her to cheer her up (lol) since I never really understood the lyrics of it just knew she liked the song. Obviously a tough time in my childhood that takes me back to 1986 when I was 9, and heard this song all the time. It always reminds me of going through those times with mom and dad.
My brother and I were always close, and he was off in the military during gulf war 1, and gave me this CD (I was in my new age music phase, yanni and all that shit) to enjoy. The whole album is amazing, but this song brings up many childhood memories of itself, but most importantly was listening to it and hoping my brother was allright during the war. This is one of the only CDs I own today. Brother listened to it when he got back and also loved it. Said that had he known it was that good, he would have bought a copy for himself back then.
