I don't know how to say this, but where were you when you first heard a song
and the song reminds you of a particular moment or day? For me, it was these:
Johnny Mathis's version of "A Christmas Song": in March 1971, an uncle of mine who was a coal miner in Bergholtz, Ohio, which is not far from Steubenville, Ohio, died, and I felt sorry for my Aumt Lena, who was his wife. That Christmas I first heard the song, and...I didn't really have to worry. She moved in with her family in Steubenville and died when she was 103.
Neil Young's "Heart of Gold": When I was growing up my cousins had a trailer in Marblehead, Ohio that they vacationed at. My family spent Memorial Day weekend, 1972 there, and that Sunday, me my brother, and our cousins played miniature golf at a place that was about a mile west of there on Ohio 163.
It got up to 90 degrees that day, but it wasn't humid. My brother and I got terribly sunburned that day.
John Lennon's "(Just Like) Starting Over": I forgot when it was released exactly, but 1)my dad died died the morning after Thanksgiving 1980, and 2)John was assasinated on Dec. 8, 1980.:(
