Summer of 2008. Kind of a sad song, but I have really great memories to it.

Panic - The smiths

My wedding. To make a long story short: Me and my husband got married on the stage of the premeier in europe of the wedding singer musical. This was our wedding song. I'm a little embarassed by this, but the wedding singer really is one of my favourite movies, and I have always thought of my husband Tobias when I've heard this song, so it was perfect. 🙂

This song reminds me when I was a young girl and I played with my dolls. 😉

 

[Marisa]

Some that I think of off the top of my head are
Nothing compares 2 you-Sinead O'Conner This one reminds me of my grandmother and mother so that one is a family remembrance.
Don't you forget about me- The breakfast club reminds me of when I was in high school because my group of friends adored the movie and listened that song a lot.
Last here with me by dido just reminds me of the whole year I was seventeen.

 

[ILLYRIAN]

But 5 seconds is never enough, I prefer songs that inspire me, so:
Led Zeppelin....... Since I've Been Lovin' You,
Lynyrd Skynrd..... Freebird (as recorded at Knebworth House),
INXS.................. Never Tear Us Apart,
Wolfmother......... In The Castle
Genesis.............. Deep In The Motherlode

[MistressPointy]

This may sound a little insane, but the intro to Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson makes me think of my wedding every time.
Our wedding was a little out of the ordinary... For example, after the wedding party came in, my husband also walked down the aisle (We thought it important that the day was as much his as it was mine... Ours :inlove🙂. He walked in to the music-only intro (after the scream, before the words start in) of Smooth Criminal. *duggaduggaduggadungdung!*

Puff the Magic Dragon.

They played it a lot at my summer camp and once, when I was 8 or something, I just started crying and ran out of the building. This last summer, it was my last year as a camper and they played it again, and I started crying. It was also sung at my Bat Mitzva. We go way back! 🙂

 

[MistressPointy]

He then pointed to the back of the church (on beat at the end of one of the *duggaduggaduggadungdung*s), the lights dimmed, and I walked in to Inara's Suite (Firefly).

Ah to be young and silly again 😉 This song was once a favorite though it seems like eons ago
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTWKbfoikeg[/ame]

This was my favorite when I was around 8-10 years old. I would play it all the time. drove my sister mad

and this song I daresay will be familiar at least to the other Swedes on this board. Reminds me of my entire tween-teen years, pretty much any song by that band does that though.

I will <3 them forever! Me and my best friend used to have "allsång" to "Die mauer" when we sat on the bus to school every morning. I remember the first time we heard it, we started crying when we heard the shots at the end, lol!
