    "We're just two lost souls, swimming in a fish bowl" my boyfriend always associated those lyrics with us, sadly just lost him from cancer this July. The day he passed away I listened to "I'll Never Love Again" which was always one of our favorite songs. I miss him so much. I'm eager to see what life will be like a year from now though.

      I'm so sorry. But you know? How can the same song be twisted in different ways by different people? When I hear that song I think about my little brother, who was taken away over a year ago. I also wish he were here and his soul might be wondering around, but mine too; desperately trying to dream with him. Acceptance is hard to do.

      P.H. I have a cerebral palsy sister who was able to precariously walk for decades. Had use of both hands somewhat. Mentally challenged but verbal & loves to blab & listen to others! I have had some public singing experiences & a long time ago I decided to ask her if she'd be interested in doing karaoke. Without hesitation, she was completely enthralled. There were 3 songs we would ponder doing. "You Are My Sunshine" was 1 of them! It's an intensely personal song to me as we would sing in a bar & people would be extremely gracious & she loved it! So I appreciate your comment.

    'Cause I've built my life around you
    But time makes you bolder
    Even children get older
    And I'm getting older too”
    That line always hits me because it makes me think of my mom and how I’m getting older, but so is she and I know I won’t have her much longer.

      Very interesting and bittersweet! My interpretation has always been completely different and comes from a tired, selfless mom to her husband. As in "I havent been able to change/grow bc I made my life revolve around you and our family. But with time, Im getting bolder, the children are grown and Im not afraid to grow anymore". Now I wonder what it actually meant! lol its cool how one song can speak to so many people in so many different ways💓

    When I first heard this song I couldn't stop crying and then I found out he wrote this after his mom died, and that lyric is his mom talking to him after dying. My mom died when I was twelve and listening to this song is just like feeling that my mom is talking to me again, and it brings me peace.

    My first love, one of the last memories I have with her. She was singing ‘Sunrise’ by Norah Jones on my outdoor porch. She was never so comfortable to sing but she was just in the moment and it was so lovely that it caught me off guard. I remember the sunlight coloring her skin and hair. It’s not even a lyric but there’s a part Norah Jones sings “and I say oooo-ooo, ooo-ooo” haha but the way she sang it just warmed my soul and heart. The beauty of her voice was reflected in her outer beauty and it just felt like for a moment the universe was still. I was able to just witness her and her existence and when you love someone so much those moments just feel so movie-like, magical or something. There’s a bunch of songs that remind me of her but definitely that song and lyric associated with her. She had the most beautiful soul and it was an honor to witness in romantically. It’s such a gift when someone lets you see their soul. There are some people you will never see in that soft stillness. I am grateful for what we shared even though it didn’t last ❤ I can only pray & hope to fall in love again. To share those kind of moments makes life feel okay.

    "You Are My Sunshine" has a really special place in my heart. My grandma used to sing it to me and all the young children in my family. Everytime i hear it, it reminds me of the safe feeling of being a child in a family where people were going to try to protect you and take care of you.
    Another one is "Ho Hey" by The Lumineers. Specifically the verse
    "I belong with you, you belong with me
    You're my sweetheart
    I belong with you, you belong with me
    You're my sweet..."
    This is the song I always associate with my parents. They used to have this as their ringtones for eachother, so when my siblings and I would hear the phone ring with that tone, we would know exactly who it was. Just gives me that sweet nostalgia y'know?

"i didnt know if I wanted to fit in that slot .. but I did" it really opened my mind to how society boxes us in to one way of seeing, and it shaped the desires we have for ourselves, the doubts we have about ourselves and the things we feel guilty for and she difintely helped me let go a piece of guilt I held with that little piece of wisdom.

    About 10 years ago I was absolutely obsessed with Beach House (still am to be honest), and I was about 10000km from my home, and woke up one morning, put on my headphones first thing while lying in bed, put on the song "Take Care" by Beach House, opened my emails, and saw an email that my sister passed away. Ever since then, this song brings intense feeling of sadness and vivid memories of my sister and how she always got me in trouble growing up. I love it so much, and I love her. A very very special song to me, which always makes me cry. But also makes me remember her face perfectly, every time

After 9 years (starting from 17yrs old) I realized it didn't matter if I bent over backwards to show him how much I loved him, he couldn't. I realized I deserved better at the age of 26. He would never love me.... ever. So I gave up that fight, because I refused to let him patronize me any longer.

    The song from Lynyrd Skynyrd (simple man) reminds me of my son. When my son moved out right after high school, I didn't realize how much I was going to miss him. The song has always been since his child into his manhood. Simple man is one of my favorite songs but more personal. I've always told him to be a simple man in life and to choose something in life he loves to do and get paid. He became a welder and loved it. As moms, we always worry about our children. He always told me not to worry about him and that nothing bad was going to happen to him. He passed away @ 34 yrs old. He would of been 40 this coming May 2023. I still miss him every day and love to listen to our song Simple Man 🎶

    "Someone Like You" not cause of the lyrics or the song really. It was just a song that came out during an important time in my life where I was having to say goodbye to a lot of strong connections I made and realizing that my life would never be the same , for better and worse. I had to say goodbye to the entire life I built and this song came on and we all starting singing together. Choked up over, "Don't forget me," and I remember vowing to never forget just how important all those people were to me in that moment, even as I knew I would never see them again.
    11 years later and I still feel that bittersweet sting every time I hear the song. As much as it hurts to not have any of them in my life, I'm forever grateful that I even had the chance to know them. The world truly is chaotic and the chances of us meeting and growing close were so slim, but it happened. We cared about each other, even if it was never meant to last. Our connection was real and the shortness of it doesn't change that. It's been so long that I likely couldn't remember all their names, but I will never forget how important they were to me and how real that was.

    "I know you love her but it's over mate, it doesn't matter put the phone away, it's never easy to walk away, let her go... It'll be alright"
    The song is not about her, but it's the only memory I have of her cos she shared this once. I remember her with this song. ❤️

    I'm 79 next month, so I relate songs to people I know or knew. The one that makes me smile each time when I think of someone who I carry in my heart is Willie Nelson singing You Were Always On My Mind. I smile and cry at the same time.

    Mine is a song by Simon and Garfunkel called Like a Bridge Over Troubled Water. My dad sat me down and played it for me when I was 13. We had gotten into a fight, can’t even remember about what now. The lyrics say “like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down”.
    I completely identified with the girl whose grandmother has dementia, because my dad is currently losing his battle with Lewy body dementia. It’s a song that will remind me of him for the rest of my life. I miss him so much. I’m now his bridge, just like he was mine. I took care of him for as long as I could until he needed full time care. Most times I wish for $, it’s not for myself. It’s so that I can have the means to bring him home for the end. Love you, dad, always.

    "You are my Sunshine, my only Sunshine" my grandma's nickname throughout her life was Sunshine. The song has always made me think of her, but i can hardly bear to hear it since she passed away last year in November. not long after my cat, i should add. we are a cat-loving family, and she probably loved them more than everyone I'll ever know. both she and my cat passed due to cancer only 2 months apart.

    "And all along I believed I would find you
    Time has brought your heart to me
    I have loved you for a thousand years
    I'll love you for a thousand more"
    When I first met my wife, she was in a horribly abusive relationship. When she finally got out, we were able to be together, and this was the song she chose to be played as she walked down the aisle at our wedding. Less than a year and a half later, I lost her to cancer. She went through all those years of hurt and abuse to spend the last days of her life with me. Hearing that song just destroys me now in the most heart-wrenching, but beautiful way.

    And I have changed, oh, but you, you remain ageless"
    Both for my dad, it'll be a year since he passed on Thanksgiving coming up❤

    “Somewhere over the rainbow” - reminds me of my grandpa who passed almost two years ago now, we would listen to Israel Kamakawiwoʻole on car rides and road trips together all the time, and he always asked me to sing that song specifically, he loved my singing voice and would commission me to learn old songs to sing around the campfire.
    And “your smile lit a 60 watt bulb in my house that was darkened for days” in All Shades Of Blue by Gregory Alan Isokov- makes me think of my baby girl who brings me so much joy. I found out I was pregnant with her 3 days before my grandpa died and I never got to tell him I was having a baby, she’s a little redhead like me and already loves singing❤ I know my grandpa must have met her when he arrived in heaven

    “It’s hard to know what she’d say but I think she’d want you to live like the world’s on fire, want you to love like hearts don’t break; never look down when you walk the wire.” - Birthday Cake by Dylan Conrique. My grandmother passed from cancer earlier this year and I found this song and it reminded me of her. She was a second mother to me in a sense and these lyrics are a lot like something she would say. She was a very kind and wise woman. ❤️

    it hit me right now while watching this video. i was just watching a show and thinking why i started to judge peoples outer appereance after/since covid... never did that before i never really thought about beauty or outer flaws before. never. so now out of nowhere my brain does this oh that person looks so tired or that/this is crooked etc. but funny thing when i watch your videos im so mesmerized by the beauty of all these people for all and each one of them im thinking how unique and beautiful they are and it hit me. that beauty truly lies in being vulnerable and honest. it lies in being human.
    i truly cant find beauty in people acting as if life is about being fake so they chose to be. we are human after all we need to come back to our roots to the honest us. the feelings the hurt the love. learned a great lesson

Reminds me of my friends from highschool, still talk to most of them, but as we became adults, some of us moved away, and life moved on for all of us, most of us are all still friends, but what we had at our closest points, i will never forget. The memories we have are irreplaceable. Best friends i could have asked for. I hope our friendship continues as long as possible.

    I have a nack for showing people new music and enjoying it with them. Like, I find a song that I like and think “oh (blank person) would like this song” so I found a song that I thought my friend’s ex girlfriend would like and I saved it because everyone in our friend group knew they would eventually get back together.
    I couldn’t show it to her until they did though because of respect for my homie. Well a couple weeks passed and she died in a car accident. I told my friend what happened and I had to leave for work. His parents came over to pick him up so he had a support system when I left. I was definitely in shock at the time, but for the most part it didn’t effect me.
    I was delivering pizzas at the time and so I could listen to music while driving and the song started playing. It’s “rosier/punk2” - brakence. I broke down I was able to suck it in when reaching my delivery so I took about 3 more deliveries and came back balling to my managers that I had to go.
    The lyric that gets me is at the very beginning. “There’s too many people that I have done wrong and I owe my thanks to for sticking along with me.” I wasn’t a terrible person to her. I make it a point to be nice to my friends SO unless of course they’re absolutely horrible people, but I was a factor in their break up. Probably not the biggest reason, but I was giving my friend the advice to go through with it. Him and I got a bit of flack for the breakup after her death.
    Things like “she wouldn’t have been driving that direction if they never broke up. She should’ve been with you guys hanging out instead.” That died down pretty quickly and didn’t effect me as much as it did him, but the part that really gets me is the fact that I can never show that song to her. I know she would’ve loved it. It checked all the boxes. And I know she would’ve forgiven me for doing the things I did. When she died they were starting to talk again not much, but she realized her faults and I could tell she was really trying to be a better person.
    The song still plays sometimes and as soon as I hear the first lyric I get choked up a bit. I can contain the tears, but I can’t finish the verse on the first try.

    The song for me would definitely have to be "I'm getting ready" by Tasha cobbs. So my mom died 4 years ago but a month or two before she died this song came out and I was a huge fan of it. The particular lyric that definitely reminds me of my mom is "I'm getting ready to see something I've never seen". When she died I know she saw something incredible.❤️❤️

    This Norwegian Singer and Violinist/Fidder, Alexander Rybak, wrote a song called "Mom" and the first line is: "Mom, Here I Am Again, Wounded and Alone" and the one that says:
    "Because I know
    There has always been a lady in my life,
    So strong.
    I will never find another
    Who would care like you,
    Who would love like you.
    And I feel so scared
    Every time I mess up everything.
    But you're still there.
    And there's one thing that I never will forget:
    No matter what will come,
    I'll always have you mom."
    IT GETS ME EVERY TIME!!!😭
    I tear up because I know that someday when my Mother passes away. she will always be with me, I have her in my heart and that I love her truly, and deeply. She sacrificed so much for me and I appreciate her!😭💜💟💜
