That one song that makes you remember 'her' !!

Feeling a bit sad tonight.

Started thinking about the first girl I fell in love with when I was 19. It was actually hearing a song on the radio today that stopped me in my tracks and sent old memories flooding in. It is really amazing how a piece of music can do this. It was so long ago, but it was on the radio a lot at the time while I was trying to deal with a broken heart.

Ok this one is kinda corny but this song makes me sad and think of all the girls that slipped away:

I am currently trying to rid myself of feelings for somebody so all this is making me sad!

Well lads, we have all been there! We have all fallen for that one girl that slipped away or was not interested. We all feel sadness and loneliness at times although some of us can't admit it. Are there any songs in particular that remind you of that 'one girl'?

Please tell me I aint the only pathetic guy out there!

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy. Was everywhere during early 2006. The first few seconds turn me into nostalgically bitter

.....that it didn't work out.

The first and last time I truly had my heart broken myself and the then girlfriend listened to this album and this song in particular a huge amount during our time together.This is actually the first time Ive listened to it in probably over a year.Beautiful song but it will forever have bittersweet memories for me.

truly, madly deeply by savage garden
1997, first year in college, first girl I loved
if I hear that song it brings me back every time

I'm Your's
Jason Mraz.Reminds me of her every day.

Sonics2k · 01-09-2011 9:31pm

Song was playing on a radio when we first kissed, it seemed to be playing somewhere and somehow for every special moment between us.

To this day I can't hear it without thinking of her and the mistake I made.

Just nostalgia really as opposed to the person in question.

Joni Mitchell - Woodstock and Tom Waits - I Hope That I Don't Fall In Love With You

Nickelback: Rock Star, was playing at a party when I first kissed my ex.

I fcucking hate Nickelback :mad:

Wheatus - A Little Respect

Was playing during our first kiss and she was the first girl to break my heart.

Still get a tear when I hear it

Deedsie · 02-09-2011 3:34pm

I never realised what i had, she was mad about me. We broke up at the end of the summer this song was out, she was moving away for a year. A regret! Song always reminds me of her in the sad sense.

Whereas this song reminds me of how great being her boyfriend was:

Awful song i know, but you asked for the one that reminds you of "her"

I met her out in town a few weeks ago, I was on a day long session so not at my most charming if you know what I mean. Gave the guts of 6 hours talking ****e to her. Mortified. Who wants an Ex-Girlfriend to see you in that state.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAcIpXdMrdI

This one just reminds me that i miss her and wont be with her again.

Skuxx · 02-09-2011 4:38pm

This is the song that brings me back to my first ever girlfriend, I'll always remember walking down the beach with her and out of nowhere she just started singing it!!

Will · 02-09-2011 5:07pm

I associate songs with most people I know, not just past girl friends.

This song always reminds me of my mate, song was playing at 4am while we were all drinking in the kitchen

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7bHe--mp1g

This one reminds me of my cousin. Sent it to him on facebook few hours before he passed. Can't really listen to it still. :-/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HeP1Klmk0ng

This song reminds me of a girl I used to go out with.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfzwM4pdyxU

This reminds me of another girl.

Two songs remind me of the relationship that had the biggest impact on me to date (and not because it was the best, probably because it turned out to be the worst in the end. I was still mad about him though). We used to fight all the time and this was released in the same year. Think David Kitt was going through something similar so this song was therapeutic at the time:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kwhc8sOUCbk

Then he ended because the fighting was so bad and my heart was smashed to pieces. I played this song continously while spending an unhealthy amount of time in bed. Luckily 4 years later I can laugh about it and this song doesn't make me feel sick anymore!!

Broken hearts always mend, OP.

Back in March of 96 I fell in love at 1st sight with a girl who sparked a smile in me every time I thought of her or saw her smile

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7EyUY3-Wrg&ob=av2e

We had 11 amazing years together

but life is seldom fair and she died in April '07 leaving me and our son lost

We played these 2 songs at her funeral.....
Bryan Adams cos she just always loved the cheesiness of this song...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6TtwR2Dbjg&ob=av2n
And James Blunt, because thats what I lost....My Lover, my best friend and my conscience

In 1993 and 1994 I was with my first love, after some real headwrecking sh*t we finally broke up. We both loved "Patience" by G&R. I thought of her for years anytime I heard that song.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEzuC5UoM8g

Then in 2010, many years older and supposedly all world-toughened, marriage and several relationships behind me, I met another girl who also loved that song and had done for years.
I should have known better......:(:( another sweet cute headwreck.

They say the music you listen to on your first time of getting your heart broken stays with you forever. I find this to be true. I listened to Achtung Baby endlessly waaay back in 1994 and its still my favourite album of all time.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=6snI72LGfP4

This ^^^ is "So Cruel" from Actung Baby, this one took on a whole new set of meanings for me earlier this year, nearly 18 years on.
The lyrics are the most powerful I've ever listened to.

Thankfully I'm all happy again now, recently met another one.........:D

Wonder what I'll be listening to whenever she gets sick of my face :P

This is the only song I'd listen to from Chris de Beef as I swear he must have secretly invaded my life and used my awkwardly shy teenage romance of 86 for his song. She was from the UK visiting my seaside town and at the end of Summer I was devastated when she left and could have said and done more (easy now, I don't mean nothing filthy)

Now heading to conspiracy theories forum to write about this also.

Anything by Joshua Radin - one of my favourite artists and I can't listen to him anymore because I get swept away by nostalgia and end up feeling like shít:

Last GF- no song yet..
