Song that relate to you

[AnotherHeartbreak]

For me, it has to be TITNIFAATW. Heres the story:

It all happened back in January of this year. My favorite Uncle, who is a truck driver, was driving his 18-wheeler down the highway in Warren, MA. It was just a normal night at work, until he fell asleep at the wheel. His truck then smashed into the guardrail, and rolled over about three times. He got a little banged up, but now he is 100%, and wasnt even wearing a seatbelt!

[Jodie]

I don't know if I can narrow it down to just one, but several do. TITNIFAATW does because I have been both stupid enough to drive when extremely tired, unlucky enough to fall asleep at the wheel, and lucky enough to wake back up before I hit anything or anyone. How, I don't know, but thinking about it still scares the bejesus out of me even though it happened 7-8 years ago. Hearing this song for the first time the other day, as I said in another thread, was like a kick between the eyes. It made it seem like it'd just happened yesterday and was something I thought about more than once as I made a 13-hour drive yesterday from St. Louis to central FL.

You Run Away reminds me of my ex-boyfriend (who looks disturbingly like Ed...it still freaks me out) and how he pretty much continuously sabotaged both himself and our relationship.

Half a Heart reminds me of another ex, only that time I was the one screwing things up.

And Allergies reminds me of the unadulterated joy that is this time of year in St. Louis. Lol.


ETA: Also For You, especially the lines, "If I hide myself wherever I go, am I ever really there?" That's been me in a nutshell in the past.

[JaneInANutshell]

I really relate to For You...it's been really hard for me to be trusting of people in the past but I'm trying to be better about it. I Have Learned is another one...you learn from every mistake you make in life and every relationship comes into your life to teach you something. I just wish I had the guts to speak up for myself a little more often when I feel I've been wronged.

Um...maybe Spider In My Room as well? I really, REALLY hate bugs.:p

[Belyha]

Sometimes I wonder what songs don't- I seem to find something that speaks to me in quite a few of them-

Allergies-allergic to wheat-yes it is tricky finding something to eat...
Quality- My quality neurologist probably would think it is cool to get a shout out in a BNL song, but my quality nephrologist had his sense of humor removed in med school and wouldn't get it-probably why he chose such a bummer of a specialty...

On a serious note, Great Provider is a really really tough one for me- especially after the loss of my parents. And for some reason, I seem to find myself around people who, on the surface seem great, but are passive aggressive and poisonous and no one else seems to see it but you- and you end up looking like the bad guy- I think "Aluminum" captures what a person like that is like- "you're not as precious as you contrive," is one of the best lines ever. And "The Same Thing,"- I have always felt like Charlie Brown right atter Lucy pulls the football out from under him- that is the story of my life, but like CB, I still try and kick that ball.

[ProudMommy77]

Like Belyha, I find there are so many songs that relate to my life that it's hard to pinpoint.

Aluminum is one that came to mind immediately, as I spent too many years pretending to be someone I wasn't just to stay in a relationship. Which then leads to Take It Outside, the reminder that the guy that I was with never would have stood up for me for any reason. For You is another one, for similar reasons. E2E came out when I was getting married (to my wonderful DH) and listening to that album made me so grateful that I had gotten out of that previous relationship and not ended up making a huge mistake. It's probably why E2E has been my favourite album for years.

Another one that tears me up is Am I The Only One. The line "Who do you think I'll be without you?" had a horrible meaning to me in the aforementioned crappy relationship, but took on a whole new wonderful meaning when my husband and I began dating after being friends for 5 years.

I know there are more, but I don't want to bore. (Possibly too late?)

[mistee84]

What a Good Boy and When I Fall both remind me of problems I suffer from, within myself.

Go Home and Off the Hook are two songs that I love, but I can never find myself listening to them. Both remind me ridiculously of my parents, or what was my parents relationship.

[Kawltie]

Off The Hook reminds me exactly of my abusive ex-boyfriend and how all the signs were in front of me (of him cheating) but I kept make excuses for him.

When I Fall, especially the lines in my signature below, speaks to me in that whenever I get asked the question "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" in an interview or similar questions from friends and family, I never have had the answer. It seems like my future has always been a crystal clear canvas.

You Will Be Waiting...although it's not about a death so much, I think of my Grandma, who has passed, because it's such a beautiful song (like her :))

Testing 123: "If I acted less like me, would I be in the clear?" I've felt like this quite often!

Same Thing gives me chills everytime. "These things all end, Who asked you anyway, You'll have to bend, Who asked you anyway?" It reminds me of the relationship I had with a friend--we lived so far from each other, it was so good to see each other, but the good always ends when you have to leave and it's so hard to stay in touch.
