RangerClay Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 I climbed to my Chevy this morning and headed off to work. No sooner did I turn out of my driveway and that familiar sax solo from Bob Seger's, "Turn the Page" started playing on my truck radio. A favorite tune of my youth that I have not heard in a LOOONG time. Instantly I was was taken back to a time when I was 21, young and carefree. To hear and sing along was so therapeutic. It was a great way to start my day. Do you have a song that takes you back to a better time????? What is the name of the song and where does it take you back to?

Newarcher Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Heck yeah, millions... Hold on loosely by .38 special takes me back to the first time my parents left me and my sister alone and went out of town. I listened to the entire .38 concert from NY (I think it was) on the King Biscuit Flour Hour while laying on my waterbed. Dreams by the Cranberries takes me back to two seasons ago driving to hunting camp (they play it a lot in the fall for some reason). Rock rock by Def Leppard takes me back to the swimming pool at our local park. Any 80's music takes me back to the time of Ronald Reagan and my care free youth.....man do I miss those times before terrorism and bills! I can't drive 65 takes me back to driving my 62 Corvette around town and hearing the rumble as I idled it around the movie theater in 3rd gear.... All I can say is enjoy today and the moment you are in....because about 10-20 years from now, you are going to hear a song and wish you could come back to today. Edited to add anything by Bon Jovi......those were my hayday! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Not to be Coy but I honestly cant think of a better time in my Life. On another note, i am a LONG time music lover. There are so many songs that take me back to music eras. I do still remember long summers throwing hay bales, visiting cousins in different places, and sitting at the lake. Any time I hear song like that it takes me back. A lot of good times. "Some day love will find you. Break those chains that bind you. One night will remind you, how we touched and went our seperate ways. If he ever hurts you, true love wont desert you. You know I still loveyou. Though we touched and went our seperate ways." Theres a flashback from the past for ya.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSGB Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back There's a lot of 'em! Anytime I hear The Cars, it takes me back to when my older sister and I would dance around the living room while my dads record was playing.

Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Good Hearted Woman by Waylon and Willie. I fell in love for the first time with my high school sweetheart listening to that song. That was also the first time I realized that I would be a Texan Til I Died.

Randy Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Definately the "Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. I remember it playing on the radio when I was a kid going hunting early in the morning with my dad when I was to young to hunt myself. I still love that tune!

Guest Andrea Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Quite a few always take me back. I have a pretty big music collection. "West End Girls" reminds me of going to the beach when I was in junior high. "Can't Stop" by After 7................reminds me of dating a certain someone in high school/college. "Hey Ronnie"( song for Veronica) by Aldo Nova reminds me of another time. Journey, New Edition, Deff Leppard, Bon Jovi, Alabama, Garth Brooks, Richard Marx, and yes, unfortunately......Michael Jackson..................all take me back to a time when I was young and free.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Segar has some classics and its great to see him back at it. I think Turn the page is one of the great ones and gets you thinking. I always like to hear old Def Leppard stuff for some reason, turn it up, "Pyromania" is on!!

Guest Andrea Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Bog Seger's greatest hits is in my cd case. Hollywood Nights and Turn the Page are my favorites. Oh yeah, and Shame On the Moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimPic Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Being a "child of the 70's",songs from Seger,April Wine,The Outlaws,Skynyrd,The Eagles,Fleetwood Mac and so many other bands of that era really take me back to a good place.I guess if I had to pick something it would be Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" album.

Tominator Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Re: Songs that take you back Tons of them. The one you mention takes me back to sock hops and slow dances when I used to put sweaty hand prints on my girlfriend's back. One that takes me back to going swimming at my Aunt Wanda's is a song called Sweet City Woman. Used to hear it all the time on our way to Willoughby for some reason.
