what !
im allowed more than one
this is in my top 10 but i pair it with land of hope and dreams when i need it
this is my favourite version because of Danny
across the border
and if i had a wedding song this would be mine
if i should fall behind
thats so lovellyHaha you know I could never pick just one...luckily for my dh though I was able to choose just one DH. And 20 plus years later it is still just him and only him.
I just love this song, not because it’s significant to me particularly, just love the words and music.
Lyrics
Strands of light upon a bedroom floor
Change the night through an open door
I'm awake but this not my home
For the first time I'm not alone
Reaching out, I touch another skin
Breathing out as he is breathing in
Deep inside I feel my soul aflame
Can my life ever be the same?
I should have told him
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not forget
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
Another planet
Close together in the afterglow
I remember how his loving flow
Turned the key into another world
Made a woman of a simple girl
Daylight comes as we both know it must
Soon my fantasies will turn to dust
But I would give him anything he asked
If my first love could be my last
I should have told him
I'd do anything if I could hold him
For just another day, for just another day
His love is something I will not regret
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet
When I am far away, when I am far away
I feel the rainfall of another planet, another planet

Too many songs to choose from.
I tend to associate music with events or people or certain times of life, and once that moment or period has passed, I generally don't actively go out to listen to it (often, if at all) again - perhaps to preserve the feelings associated with it and/or avoid feeling the feelings again, but I think also because I very much believe we should live in the Now, not the past.
I think I understand why people listen to a particular style of music or a particular song over and over again, but I sort of think it's a bit sad if one is doing that to the exclusion of listening to other/new music - to me it smacks of wallowing/living/hiding in the past, and how is one going to live now and create new memories with new songs if you never listen to new things?
Life is too short not to try to gain as many new experiences and memories as possible!
"What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong.
Because it was the song my son sang to me with raspy voice and all (he was trying to sing in true Satchmo style) when he was a senior in high school...
And because more recently, it was the song my son's best friend in college and I danced to at his wedding to honor my son's memory
There are 4, all related to my first love. We are married to others, but still love each other (which likely wouldn't be the case had we married each other, lol)
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone - Bill Withers (he didn't like it becaue it had "too much meaning")
Blue eyes crying in the rain - Willie Nelson (he liked it because it had "a lot of meaning")
Beginnings - Chicago
Crazy Love - Poco
I choke up when this song comes on and another song that I love that reminds me of this song is this song. I love it...but for some reason my dh doesn't like this song at all but he isn't sappy like I am oh well no one's perfect
and of course Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Judy Garland is a masterpiece.
Aint No Sunshine When She's Gone-oh I LOVE that song. It's so hard to choose just one. They are all my favorites lol.
So many great songs. Thanks everyone for sharing. I love hearing the songs that have meaning for you. Please keep sharing.
So many great songs from Chicago. These two are probably my fav. My teenage years...Beginnings - Chicago
I just love this song, not because it’s significant to me particularly, just love the words and music.
