Thread Name: Songs Encapsulating People, Others
Subject: Songs Encapsulating People, Others
Everyone has songs with particular associations; I'm thinking more of unavoidable baggage that comes with the tune or words...

For instance, "Shattered" (not folk, OK) encapsulates my entire Freshman year in college. I can almost smell the coffee from the machines at Eaton...And there are other songs I can't hear without a whole mess o'associations coming up. I can't hear the Weavers' version of (not the title) Brother Can You Spare a Dime without remembering a particular conversation about the depression I had with my Dad when I was probably about 14... and so on. What are your strongestly-associated songs? Just curious...
