RE: Your question: shortly before my husband died (at a young age), while he was very sick, the Beatles song, Yesterday, came on the radio, and, in one of the few moments he spoke with regret, he said, "I wish I had my yesterdays back." Now, many years later, I still can't hear that song without getting very sad and teary.
Meredith Brooks's song"Bitch" was my best friend from college's song, and we always turned it up and sang when we pre-partied before going out dancing. She died very young, and every time I hear it, it's like a punch in the gut.
There’s a song by Colin Raye called “Love Me” and it makes me think of the relationships of both sets of my grandparents and my parents. It’s a very moving song. I’m not really much of a crier, but that one always gets me.
There are so many songs that immediately transport me: "I'm Gonna Be Someone" by Travis Tritt - AIT Fort Huachuca, AZ "In Your Eyes" - first date with the boy I ended up marrying. "For My Broken Heart" by Reba - when I was stationed at Fort Ben Harrison, Indiana and he was stationed in Bad Tolz, Germany "If Tomorrow Never Comes" - fixing things with Dad while stationed in Germany "I'll Be" by Reba - came out right after my baby girl was born, Miami, FL "Baby Mine" - Allison Kraus is her lullaby "You'll Be In My Heart" Phil Collins - her brother's lullaby I could go on and on and on...some I have forgotten, but "The Song Remembers When" and reminds me from time to time.
I LOVE this song!!!! I'm a very musical person too. So yes. I got those songs. One song that KILLS me is Mercy by Brett Young!!!! You must react to it!!
My Valentine by Martina McBride was my mom and stepdad's song. After he died we couldn't listen to it because it made us cry. Still have listened to it in years
Music has that ability to bring back memories sometimes good, sometimes bad. Brings either a smile to your lips or a tear to your eye. That is the beauty of music
Somewhere over the rainbow always brings back my maternal grandmother who passed when I was 7...she was 54 and I recently turned 62...still miss you...I would even play Long tail Fox again😉😉
I’ve always loved this song because it’s so well-written and Trisha does a great job with it. I’ve many songs that make me stop and recall something and/or someone when it comes on. I love how our memories can be sparked simply by a song that was associated with that moment/time in our lives.
The ladies of the 90s deserve every reaction…you should do a series! I’d watch every. Single. One. Trisha, leean rimes, Faith hill. Shania Twain, Alison Krause… You could do a whole thing about it
Sooo many, Billy. Lots of songs just take me back to someone. THIS song is one of those--the 2nd verse, singing to the radio driving though the Rockies with a guy named Matt. I wonder where he is now. I hope he's happy. He was a great guy.
REO Speedwagon has a song that was played at a good friend's funeral, he passed in a car accident when we were in high-school. Years later it still takes me back.
My song is her husband Garth Brooks song when you come back to me again. From the movie Backdraft. And her song THIS IS ME YOURE TALKING TO... Another one you should listen to!!!
I'm good Billy! Been married for over 30 years to the love of my life. But, like you said, certain songs bring up certain memories. There are even times I'll hear an old song on the radio and I can close my eyes and picture where I was and who I was with when I heard it. I love music, period. So this song has always spoke to me about the power a song can have. Even years later when you thought you had forgotten. And of course, Trisha's voice is angelic. Thanks for reacting to it. :)
The song that I will always tie a certain person to is Stupid Boy by Keith Urban. The man was my first love, truly my first everything including ripping out my heart. In the song the chorus says "She laid her heart and soul right in your hands And you stole her every dream, and you crushed her plans She never even knew she had a choice And that's what happens when the only voice she hears is telling her she can't" A lot of my insecurities even now as a grown woman are due to him. He conditioned me at a young age to think I wasnt enough and what I wanted out of life was never enough or stupid and I am still trying to get over the things he said I couldn't do. When you hear the same thing by the man who you loved for 5 years especially at a young age it sticks with you.
One of my top favorites from Trisha. I just love how relatable and well written it is. There have been many times when a song would bring back memories I'd almost forgotten, such as certain moments with my parents. Too many to name. And yes, Trisha has one of the loveliest voices in country music, imo. Another one of my favorites from her is "Like We Never Had A Broken Heart," which would be another good one to check out.
I love that song and hadn’t heard it in forever. I saw Trisha live when she came onstage to sing with Garth Brooks when we saw him at the Wyn in Vegas. Fantastic show.
Such a great performer!!! Thank-you for reacting to this videos the women in country need a spot to shine. The 90s and the early 2000s were awesome for females!!!
Rascall Flats, Stand. Helped me get through the loss of a friend I'd known since middle school. He died during spring break when he was 21 of alcohol poisoning. Also Shania Twain's It Only Hurts When I Breathe. Makes me think of the only man I've ever loved. Even though we were never officially together. It's been 15 years and I still love him. He's married with a baby (I'm 90% sure isn't his) and yeah it hurts to think about him
Have you ever listened to the Carpenters? Some of their songs are Close to you, We’ve only just begun, Top of the World, Rainy Days and Mondays are just a few. Her voice is amazing!!!
When I hear two songs Little Texas " What Might Have Been" and then " Please Remember Me" by Tim Mcgraw.... I instantly go back to my first love. Its true the song remembers.......
Man I was thinking of this song today. I heard a song from High school and thought of my friend and I using a song to get through a hard time and I have so many songs that take me back to positive things, negative and what was negative but turned positive etc.
I've ALWAYS had music as a big part of my life. I'm exactly like you. So many songs so many memories. There's even songs that I've loved all my life that has evolved with different stages in my life like "Total Eclipse of the Heart". I recently found that emotions I've felt have changed for certain songs. For example anything Hannah Montana, Used to bring wonderful memories of my oldest daughter (19 yrs old) and I when she was little . After years of poison being fed to all 5 of my kids from their father and his side she decided to"Erase" me and take her 3 Young siblings with her (16 yrs old & twin 15 yrs old). So now even the "Bone Song" from Hannah Montana brings a knife to my heart.
Happy New Year Billi Boi ..... This is a great one... and YES YES YES~ Always and Forever ( Earth, Wind & Fire) was sung at my wedding.. I still can't listen to it 32 years later. 😓
Every time I hear this it comes out of nowhere just like she said in the start of the song. Hugh Prestwood wrote this. I am not capable of listening to this without crying for those days. "I was just thinking about those days"
Where There is Faith by 4Him meant a lot to me while my grandfather was dying of cancer back in the early 90s. Then, several years ago, I hear it on the radio after not having heard it in a while and something hit me that wondered "God, are you preparing me to find out someone I know has died?" A couple of days later I find out that a former coworker had died.
this is a release from 1993, it was the lead single off her 3rd album, and only Top 5 hit (#2, 2 weeks ( CMA Nomination for Song of the Year) but the album is filled with some amazing string arrangements....Hard Promises To Keep is one of my favorites. I adore Trisha Yearwood, and that's how I stumbled across your video ( Thumbs Up )
When one of my sons got married, he had this played for our mother/son dance. I had a song I wanted, but he told me he had one picked out. Crazy song for the occasion, but he said every time he heard this song it took him back to the summer I hauled a bunch of smelly high school boys to summer league basketball games. I always had this tape playing, singing along, so that's what he thinks of whenever he hears this song. Oh well, the daughter/father dance was to the theme song from The Godfather as they watched it together every year. Those that didn't know, didn't know.
Thanks for reacting to this. I've loved it since it first came out and it's one of those songs that no matter where I am, if I hear it, I have to sing along. I have tons of songs that remind me of people and times. I'm a very musical person. If I don't have music of some kind playing, then it's playing in my head. For as long as I remember songs have always been a way for me to remember things. Some sad times, some happy. One of the best times I ever had with my best friend was being on the phone and both of us on RU-vid and we'd take turns suggesting songs for each other to play. We spent hours doing this. Many of the songs he loved and suggested, when I hear them now take me back to that time.
You talked about liking this song, understanding it. You also commented on the past not staying buried. I think you would really like & understand "Stay Gone by Jimmy Wayne"
Love her and her music.. she's amazing haven't heard one song by her I don't love ... I hear lots of songs that I relate to from all aspects of my life, both good and bad parts..
Jessica Andrews - Who I Am [It's about her being Rose Mary's granddaughter] I rewrote so that it's about me being Joseph's granddaughter and the spitting image of my mother. He raised me and the song really got me through the hard times after cancer made him leave and heaven took him in. Martina McBride - How Far [it's about a broken relationship with her boyfriend] I feel like she is saying what my mom might have been feeling when she was fighting with HIV/Aids for her life [from her teen years until she died at age 29], before she died when I was in the 8th grade.
Music is as powerful as a smell, to bring back memories. You should see my family get REALLY happy when we hear the music from the original Electric Parade in Disneyland! GREAT MEMORIES!
This is probably gonna sound bad, but the song, “Mr. Mom” by Lonestar reminds me of the day I started being friends with my mom. We went to a little Lonestar concert a few years back at a now closed down bar and when I ordered a drink, she asked me to get her one too. That was the first time I saw my mom drink, too. That started me actually going out and hanging out with my mom. Thank God, because she is really my only link to going outside for reasons other than work or friend/SOs. If you could react to that song, Billy, I’d appreciate it. You’ll get a laugh out of it, I promise.
I’m a very musical person too, but for me, it’s not just certain songs remind me of certain people or bad times in my life, it’s literally every song that I’ve heard in my life reminds me of a time, a place, a person, a joke, something. A song can transport me to another place and time, whether it be the first time I heard it, something funny that happened while it was playing, an emotion I felt while listening to a song, it’s almost spiritual. I like to surf between the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s music on my tv and it’s a different journey every day. Some days, I hear songs that I heard growing up in the 80s and remember laying in my sisters pool at 12 years old and my niece putting a Dorito over her belly button to make a triangle tan, then the next song will take me to high school, sitting with my big brother listening to classic rock, then the next song will bring me close to the present when my youngest daughter would rock her head back and forth to that song, to being 8 years old when my mom would be cleaning and dance me around the living room to the song she loved. I can almost feel and smell the memories as if I were actually time traveling. This is what music does for me, it’s a kind of spiritual healing for me. All I can say is that I’m just glad that we don’t live in a “Footloose-ified” world because I probably wouldn’t make it! 😂
Actually, another song by her "X's and O's" takes me straight back to my childhood. I remember singing it at the top of my lungs on the swing set lol. As for another Trisha song? Find her singing "How Do I Live" live *chef's kiss*
Re: The songs " Wild Thing" ?artist? And " Light my Fire" by The Doors( there is a great bio movie on Jim Morrison of The Doors) that always takes me back to my first fiance, "First time" 52 years ago. Like her I can hear " Wild Thing" playing in the car as we drove along that night. It was a hot summer night. I could smell the honeysuckle on the wind, on Hwy 165 north when I heard it.
Your reaction was hysterical. "Their good and buried in their grave and then they pop up like The Walking Dead" Music ties us to so much of the past. "Radar Love" 1973, this was our song. (1st love) I smile everytime I hear it. Sometimes when a song remembers when I cry because... This song is pretty, what an incredible voice she has.
My favorite female singer. Her voice is so powerful. I don’t know if you have seen “The Passion” or not. If you haven’t, it is definitely worth watching. Trisha plays Mary.
Kenny Chesney has a similar song called "I go back"... I have a few but one song mentioned in Kenny's song "Only the good die Young" by Tracy Lawrence really gets me....though he might have been talking about the Billy Joel song
You should try "Walk Away Joe" or "The Woman Before Me" by Trisha Yearwood. "Living Up To Her Low Expectations " or "I Let Her Lie" by Daryl Singletary if you haven't already.
Any time I hear the song "Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield it reminds me of my youth and, specifically, a time when I was first introduced to one of the greatest book series I have ever read. And it reminds me of happier, easier free days. Another song that reminds me of an old friend, who I'm no longer friends with due to some shit, is Free Fallin' by Tom Petty. It reminds me of our youth when everything was still good and the world hadn't turned on its head. Also, #BILLSMAFIA
This song came out in the 90's. Yes there are certain songs that take me to a different part of my life. Should check out Georgia Rain by Trisha Yearwood.
There is one song to this day that Everytime I hear it, it brings me back to the day my best friend was murdered by senseless gang violence, I knew he was gone before I ever got the call. Tupac's Keep ya head up
I really dig this song and Trisha Yearwood in general. The duet she did with Don Henley, Walkaway Joe, was awesome! Can you please react to Hail to the King by Avenged Sevenfold?
Re: your question certain groups will remind me of certain times. Every time I hear Switchfoot, I think of a twin and situation that wasn’t great for me. Every time I hear Far From Home (a Christian group from the very early 2000’s) I remember pulling into OKC from visiting Kansas with my then boyfriend (husband for 18 years now) for the first time. Great memory. And every time I hear It is Well With my Soul (hymn) I cry. That will bring me back to my daddy’s funeral every time.
I am the same way, songs trigger memories, and speak when we can't find the words. I've requested the song before, but please listen to Power of A Song, by Randy Houser... It literally says how much a song can say.
First, I love all things Trisha Yearwood, and this song is particularly relatable because I think everyone has heard a song and a memory sneak up on them. She's got an incredible voice. As for songs? Yeah. There's a reason that Always by Atlantic Starr brings out an eyeroll and my inner snark. And Tears in Heaven will always remind me of my grandpa.
Their was an Artist back in the 90s I was takin a Birthday trip to a concert my mom and my grandma that has both passed had taken me to see an Artist by the name of David Kersh and My Mom had wrote this note n passed it up to him and he ended up walkin over to me sittin down in front of me n Singin His Biggest hit called GoodNight Sweetheart for my 16th birthday
Released in 2009? lol. This song came out the year I graduated high school in 1993. I am sure someone commented below. :):) Shout out to The Colony High School in The Colony, Texas!
I cannot, for the life of me, hear the song "Out of My League" by Stephen Speaks without thinking of my first love. ....listen, there's a reason this is my favorite Trisha song, is what I'm saying.
Could you please play Luke Bryan "Drink a Beer". Lost my 28 year old brother to a massive heart attack in 2001 also a miscarriage the same year. He was my best friend. I miss him so much. Also Miranda Lambert " Over you" is another that just hits hard. Thank you
That song for me is "I Always Thought I'd See You Again." At my age though... There are more than a few of those songs and people and places lost to me.
