Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

I tried writing out the story of this for me, and I honestly can't. I will just say that at one point this song was all of the color in the entire world for me.

Jason Derulo sampled parts of this song, and it honestly made me hate him. He took the catchy parts and left the soul, everything important, behind. And yet, it still punches me like the fist of God, and I have to listen to the real song, and everything stops again.

"Hide and Seek," Imogene Heap.

Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

Just a few notes of this song heard from another room tells me this movie is on and I will stop everything to watch for the millionth time.

Definitely in my top 10 can’t not watch this if I see it somewhere.

whenever I hear this song… way ahead of its time.

Larry Wallis and Lucas Fox both later were in the first incarnation of Motörhead.

Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

Seventeen tracks and I've had it with this game? Couldn't be me! My response to this song is sort of Pavlovian. The second I hear it, something shifts and I'm locked in. My first musical true love/obsession.

PS-anyone else notice that Axl's slinky dance is awful close to Davey Jone's Daydream Believer jig?

When I hear the first minute and forty-seven seconds of this song, I'm taken back to when I was a kid. Mom is a huge U2 fan so Joshua Tree was played constantly.

It's a beautiful song that was ruined by The OC. Can't listen to it without waiting for Mischa Barton and Ben McKenzie to start arguing about something inane.

Lmao, you just brought back memories. I hated them together. I had a crush on Adam Brody though.

I will go as far as "you're not wrong."

Which gets added to the list Why I Am Glad I Didn't Watch The OC. It is a good list...

Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

2 months ago, my answer would have been much more difficult as so many songs for many reasons. Since the news on @PlanetaryNebula , there is one song that will always stop me in my tracks and make me think of her.

 

[MindYaBitness]

Yes, yes you are.

Uh-huh, crazy like a fox...this fox

Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

That actually happened to me this week! I was driving to work at 6:30 in the morning and this song came on the radio. It had been decades since I heard it.

Back in the day, and I don't remember how it happened, but this song became the "theme song" for my high school JV football team. We'd sing it during our runs, on bus rides, at midfield, in a large huddle after we won... And the lyrics listed always touched my heart -- then and now. It was a beautiful dream and so many of us sang it with conviction and a wish that we could, possibly one day, achieve such a thing together.

We had a dream we'd go travelin' together
And spread a little lovin' if we'll keep movin' on

We had that on cassette tape when I was a kid. Loved it!

Day 17: A song that makes you stop in your tracks

This was the latest song that literally stopped me in my tracks. I listened intently and started to question everything I thought I knew about the world.

Shoot! I got so excited about bonus point week that I almost forgot it's also decades week. Nearly posted a 00's tune that I've been practicing for our rap battles.... maybe later! 60s will be harder.. hmm.
