Songs that remind us....

[chicosladyfair]

Ya know...it seems that every song I hear reminds me of Freddie in some way. I have always had a strong connection with music as musicians run in our family for many generations back and I take great joy and comfort in music. I hope no one would mind me posting two songs that remind me of Freddie...just indulge me, y'all know how I am.LOL

HAPPINESS:
With your love I was complete
Like a haven safe from harm
Til the bitter stole the sweet
I was perfect in your arms.
A precious while
I had your smile
Til it all fell apart
With one change of heart.
The pain and regret will fade
But a fact of love will still remain
You can't always trust happiness.
Love like a sweet parade til the saddest
Part when the music fades
You can't always trust happiness.
If a single star I see
Ever made a wish come true
It would bring you back to me
But the best my heart can do
Is to love again, I don't know when
But it's worth all I fear
The heartaches and tears
Love like a lesson learned
When we pass the point of no return
You can't always trust happiness
There in love's steady glow hides
The power to hurt us so
You can't always trust happiness....

This song was recorded by Allison Krauss and Union Station. Written by Michael McDonald and Victor Krauss. I hope I'm not breaking any copywrite laws by posting this here..I apologize if I am.

For Freddie I will dedicate to him Color my world..........

As time goes on
I realize
Just what you mean to me.......
And now
Now that you're here
Promise our love
that I've waited to share
And dream
of our moments together
Color my world
with hopes of loving you........

I probably said some of the verses wrong and I forgot who sings this song but, I love this song and from now on it will remind me of Freddie Prinze Sr....... I dedicate it to him......... From JennyLee........

I hope we don't get sued for violation of copyright laws...that would suck! LOL!

[Cheryl Harrell]

I doubt if we get sued since this isn't doen for monetary value. Stuff by Jose Feliciano & Carlos Santana reminds me of Freddie...

You ladies have dedicated some great songs to Freddie. They are all so fitting for how we feel. JennyLee22 yours is by Chicago and has always been a favorite of mine.
You all are going to have me dusting off the old L.P.'s, playing them and thinking of Freddie.
Excellent choices, very well done.

Songs that remind me of Freddie....hum... can you say ALL OF THEM! Actually I can picture him singing so many to me. One song that I have been listening to a lot lately that reminds me of him in an odd sort of way is Fernando, by ABBA. If I can find the lyrics I will post them. I also think I would have loved to hear him sing "Lady" by Styx to me, that's why I included that one in my story!

[Pitooey]

You're right Atlangel....... It is Chicago! They are one of my favorite groups.... Thanks for reminding me.

Has anyone ever heard the song AM Radio by Everclear?It mentions Chico and the man in it.It`s a song about the seventies.

[chicosladyfair]

I know what song that is! My daughter made me listen to it and watch the video awhile back. I really like Everclear. They're an awesome band. But I guess I'll have to go back and listen to it to hear the Chico reference. Thanks for mentioning it Hillbilly.

[bella66]

That sounds cool. Will have to listen to it.

[Cheryl Harrell]

Never heard of that song nor heard Everclear sing. Then again I only listen to oldies & not any new music so I have no idea what is going on in new music LOL!

[MariposaLKB]

I am the same way, Cheryl, re new music--unless of course it happens to be country! The song that makes me think of Freddie the most lately is the one by the new band Nickel Creek called "When you Come Back Down". This is admittedly because of my own story "Angel de Dolores", since Angel is based on Freddie and the song has the following lines in it:

Your memory's the sunshine every new day brings;

I know the sky is calling--

Angel let me help you with your wings.

[Cheryl Harrell]

Countrys pretty good too. I dodn't really keep up with it to. If I listen to it on the radio it's usally this country station that plays alot of the old stuff... I never liked Country until I discovered Arlo Guthrie. He got me to like it.

I noticed on a couple of CATM's Freddie sings a country sounding song with a mock hillbilly voice. Cool!

[Pitooey]

I like everyone's choice of songs for Freddie! I never heard Everlast or the country song that butterfly referred to but. I'll check them out. I'm more of a person who likes a little bit of everything. Even opera!!

This afternoon our niece had her birthday party at the local roller-skating rink, and the last two songs they played during the time set aside for her party were "The Dance" by Garth Brooks, and "Go Rest High on That Mountain" by Vince Gill. The first one says, "I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss the dance", and I thought of Freddie's studying dance and his potential to have been a ballet dancer. The second was written by Vince Gill for his friend Keith Whitley (husband of Lorrie Morgan), who died from alcohol poisoning. The line in that song which hit me in particular was "Wish I could see the angel's faces when they hear your sweet voice sing!" I thought of how Freddie never really got the chance to sing much in this life--I bet in heaven his sweet tenor is the most beautiful thing there! It was nice of the rink's owners to play something besides Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync, but I bet everyone there wondered why I left in tears!
