Day 3: Changing Tracks - A song that you hear that reminds you of a certain time in your life
You and Me by Lifehouse is one of my all time favourite songs, mostly because it has a double whammy meaning for me. Every time I hear it (which isn't very often) it stops me dead in my tracks and I just listen......... I love that about songs, how they can just transport you to a whole other time in your life in a matter of seconds.
You and Me was released in 2006 when I was pregnant with Master J. It was my first pregnancy and I was utterly consumed by it. I had every book you can imagine and I obsessed over every detail and picture of how he was changing and growing inside me every day. With no sibling to look after it was literally just him and me. I couldn't stop listening to this song and it still reminds me now of how I treasured that little thing growing inside me.
Mr and D and I got married 18 months after Master J was born and 'You and Me' was the song we chose for our first dance. This time is was just him and me in that moment and I will never forget that either.
Do you have a song takes you right back to a moment (or two) in another time?

ReplyDeleteA baby changes your life, no matter how much you think it won't, it's great to have songs along the way to remind us of that.

ReplyDeleteI don't think I knew that song at all. I had my wee twins in 2006, so a special year for our family too. Beautiful song.
