Thirty Seconds To Mars's "Bright Lights". I was 18 and in love with a girl who loved the song just as much as I did and everytime that I hear it I think about when we kissed in an alley in Hollywood style :) It was perfect.

"Defying Gravity" from Wicked. I started getting into it right around the time I graduated. I still remember how hopeful about the future I felt.

...appropriately, things didn't work out so well for Elphaba after that, and they didn't for me either. So it's taken on that extra meaning.

This Is Me- Keala Settle

The words and the way she sang it is really powerful. It totally describes how a person should handle the situations that are not in their favor.

:( So sick by Ne-yo. It reminds me of the guy I fell madly in love with and stayed madly in love with for years...but it was never meant to be

"The Middle" always gets me. I heard that sing 4 times in the span of two hours when my dad was hospitalized with a serious infection.

I remember most instances of my life by the songs that I kept playing most. The most recent is when I was really confused about what to do with my life. I would listen to Sign of The Times by Harry Styles a lot.

The Electric Slide
My mother taught me how to dance to this song on the deck to our house when I was a little girl. I can still remember the house, our deck, the mountains and the music.

Maybe Your Baby, by Stevie Wonder.

As in : "Maybe your baby done made some other plans."

It plays in an endless loop in my head whenever a relationship turns ghost.

The track is funky as hell, so it's not such a bad thing...

All of the songs from the 60's and 70's take me back to when I was growing up. Janis Joplin in particular does that to me - expecially "Take Another Piece of my Heart"! I love listening to the "oldies" on the radio. Takes me back to a simpler time.

As my high school reunion (that I am not attending) passes by this weekend, it reminds me of the song "Remember Me" by Hoobastank. I listened to so many moody songs back in the teenage days.

"Let's Dance" by David Bowie -- That was my theme song when I was fighting cancer.

A few years back I was just surfing through the web listening to “I Need Your Love” by Ellie Goulding and Calvin Harris when I suddenly came across the news that Cory Monteith passed away. Ever since that time, I have never listened to that song without remembering a younger me who was devastated by the death of an actor in her favorite show. If anything I try to avoid that song as if it’s the plague.
