"Turn them on, turn them on, turn on those sad songs. When all hope is gone, why don't you tune in and turn them on?" ~ Elton John ~
1. Do you have a song with your significant other and what is it? When "The Estranged One" and I first met, Steve Perry's Oh Sherry was very popular. He used to sing it to me, substituting my name for Sherry. I guess he did have a romantic bone or two in his body back then.
2. Name three songs that were special to you with former significant others. Do you still think of that person when you hear it? My very first boyfriend, Doug, and I both performed in a stage production of the musical Down In The Valley. Any time I hear asong from that show, I think of him.
Tom was a DJ who worked for several different radio stations in Pittsburgh when I was with him. Our relatioship was a rough and rocky one. We were constantly breaking up and making up. The making up part usually included a bouquet of red roses and him singing me Elton John's I Guess That's Why They Call It The Blues. Every time I hear that song, I think of him. I guess that's why I don't like it anymore.
My sweet. beloved, Brian was a keyboard player. He was quite fond of playing melodies by Bach on his organ. *Insert giggle here. We always did!* Yes, every time I hear a piece by Bach I think of him and our love that was never allowed to blossom and grow.
3. What is your favorite song of the moment? The Scorpions' Deep And Dark tops my current list of favorites. Why? Because the lyrics sound like they could've been written about me.
4. Do you associate songs with time periods? Give an example. Hell, yeah, I do! Doesn't everyone? Songs like Neil Young's Ohio (Kent State Shootings) and The Scorpions' Wind Of Change (Fall Of The Berlin Wall) were written to be associated with certain time periods.
5. If you were to give your job a theme song, what song would it be and why? Um... Mr. Postman I am a mail carrier, after all!
