When my kids and I are listening to music I often wonder what songs will trigger some amazing childhood memory for them. I have a bunch. Starting from when I was really small all the way up to adulthood music will take me back. I am amazed when I hear an old song I haven’t heard in ages and I still know almost all of the words! The brain is an amazing thing.
I kinda stole this idea from DIY Sara but I don’t think she’ll mind. Here are a few of my favourite songs my mom loved. They take me right back:
This one is the comfort and love of my mom. She adored Anne Murray and even while she was nearing the end, Anne Murray’s greatest hits CD was playing over and over. I think this song might actually have been on when she died. Fly away snowbird…
Ahhh, the 70’s. Every single song on this album represents a part of my childhood.
LOVE it. Timeless.
And this song. Oh this song…
My mom would blast this song from our record player downstairs for my sisters and me while we were upstairs in bed before we fell asleep. She would sometimes stand in our doorway and sing it to us. And now, I sing it to my kids. “If I should live forever and all my dreams come true my memories of love will be of you”. *sigh*.
What songs take you back to your childhood? Next time I’ll share a few of the songs my sisters and I boogied too…yes, boogied. It was the 70’s!
