I love this thread, even though I am only about 100 posts into it, some of the posts bring back such great memories, while others that feature Chris Cornell and Scott Weiland make me want to cry. If I stumble across a George Michael one I probably will. Yes, I was a child of the 80s and 90s, but I love all music and would love to share, but can't get them to upload from You Tube or Vevo. Can anyone help??
Thanks and keep posting those songs!

Hi Roses - such great song choices! I still think Train's second CD is one of the all-time greats. Love this song. Meet Virginia, the band's first release, came on Sirius while I was running today and it made me smile. That one always brings back great memories. Music is such an important part of our lives. What would we do without it?
One of my all-time favorites:
"Bittersweet Symphony"
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
You're a slave to money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the veins meet yeah,
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
But I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
Well I never pray
But tonight I'm on my knees yeah
I need to hear some sounds that recognize the pain in me, yeah
I let the melody shine, let it cleanse my mind, I feel free now
But the airways are clean and there's nobody singing to me now
No change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change
I can't change
'Cause it's a bittersweet symphony, this life
Try to make ends meet
Try to find some money then you die
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
You know the one that takes you to the places
where all the things meet yeah
You know I can change, I can change
I can change, I can change
But I'm here in my mold
I am here in my mold
And I'm a million different people
from one day to the next
I can't change my mold
No, no, no, no, no
I can't change my mold
no, no, no, no, no,
I can't change
Can't change my body,
no, no, no
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
I'll take you down the only road I've ever been down
Been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Ever been down
Have you ever been down?
Have you've ever been down?
One more and then off to bed...
"L.A. Song (Out Of This Town)"
She hangs around the boulevard
She's a local girl with local scars
She got home late she got home late
She drank so hard the bottle ached
And she tried and she tried and she tried and she tried
But nothing's clear in a bar full of lies
So she takes and she takes she takes and she takes
She understands when she gives it away
She says man I gotta get outta this town
Man I gotta get outta this pain
Man I gotta get outta this town
Outta this town and out of L.A.
She's got a gun she's got a gun
She got a gun she calls the lucky one
She left a note right by the phone
Don't leave a message 'cause this ain't no home
And she cried and she cried and she cried and she cried
She cried so long her tears ran dry
Then she laughed and she laughed she laughed and she laughed
'Cause she knew she was never coming back
She said man I'm gonna get outta this town
Man I'm gonna get outta this pain
Man I'm gonna get outta this town
Outta this town and out of L.A.
It's all she loves
It's all she hates
It's all too much for her to take
She can't be sure just where it ends
Or where the good life begins
So she took a train she took a train
To a little old town without a name
She met a man he took her in
But fed her all the same bullshit again
'Cause he lied and he lied and he lied and he lied
He lied like a salesman selling flies
So she screamed and she screamed and she screamed and she screamed
It's a different place but the same old thing
It's all I love
It's all I hate
It's all too much for me to take
I can't be sure where it begins
Or if the good life lies within
So she said
Man I gotta get out of this town
Yeah now I gotta get back on that train
Man I gotta get out of this town
I'm outta my pain
So I'm going back to L.A.
This song! It always puts a smile on my face. Such good memories....Thanks for sharing.
