SORRY ABOUT THAT!

 

[Kaizen]

This sax music is so sad and lonely.

 

[Centerstream]

I've been engaged twice but never married! Their loss!
And had a long distance romance with a girl I've known for 35 years and she called it off because we "never had a personal relationship!"
So any romantic songs sad or happy really strikes home!
Some of my real favorites are:

@RSHERMVIKES A suggestion that is one of my favorite romantic songs that strikes home, when it comes to my second marriage :

She’s Got a Way - Billy Joel

Post some songs that make you feel this way - maybe it's something you have personally experienced, or would like to.

I'll start - Key Largo- would love to go there someday. Throw in some nostalgia from 1940's films, and I'm sold.

Michael Franks: "Just Like Key Largo"

Well if you ever get down there, stop at The Fish House. Delicious.

"Yearning" is too much word, but in college I started dating a girl who was a junior during my freshman year. In the spring of her senior year she wrote out these lyrics and played the song for me in her room saying that she wanted me to have them and hear them. It seemed important to her.

We stayed together probably through the late fall of the following semester. At that point, I had met someone at school that I'd become close friends with. There was a connection and decided I wanted to explore it further. At the same time my girlfriend was meeting people out in the real world. It was the right time to end the relationship given where we both were in our lives. It ended amiably and well. When I hear this song I think that she was prescient in foreseeing the our break up and remember our time together fondly.

Roll Me Away - Bob Segar

 

[meyers7]

Oh "yearn", I first read "learn". Was gonna go with We Didn't Start the Fire (Billy Joel). Lot's of learning in that one.

But yearn. Ok, I first heard this song on my way back home after reffing a early summer game. About 75F no humidity, windows down, sunroof open, wind blowing, beautiful sunset, clear skies, tired, relaxed. Every time I hear this it reminds me of that feeling. (I used to get the same feeling riding my bike home after lifeguarding all day in the sun when I was a youngin')

Anyway....When I'm Falling - Afro Celt Sound System (with Peter Gabriel)

 

[Scud49]

This one takes me back to a summer day in '64, lying on a raft in this beautiful pond, and this tune came drifting across the water from a jukebox in the pavillion on the shore..

 

[Alydar]

Whenever I hear either Oscar Myer song I yearn for my youth.

I get really homesick when I hear this song:

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

I get homesick when I hear this too -- plus I'm missing basketball!

 

[OviedoFLHusky]

And this is for someone I knew a long time ago and still miss a lot.

 

[Kaizen]

I got home sick when I hear this song,

John Klemmer's "Touch"- this one reminds me of some incredible romantic evenings way back when:

 

[Jackcatscal]

Autumn in New York, sung by Billie Holiday. I grew up in NYC, and this song makes me so nostalgic.

 

[Spaceman213J]

I'd have to go with Billy Joel's "This is the Time". It reminds me of Cape Cod and one of the few girls I've could have seen being happy with for the rest of my life.

This is the song we played for our first dance at our wedding in 1978. My bride of 35 years has passed away, but I still remember that special day every time I hear this song.
