...or that simply remind you of the past. i think just about everyone knows some songs like this. i couldnt sleep so i thought i'd start this thread.

my songs are (in no special order):
"Losing My Religion" by R.E.M. - always reminds me of when i was a little kid for some reason
"Jesus of Suburbia" by Green Day - my senior year of high school
"In The End" by Linkin Park - my freshmen year of high school
"Otherside" by Red Hot Chili Peppers - first time i kissed a girl, "otherside" was the very next song i heard
"I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" by Aerosmith - my mid to late elementary school years
"All The Small Things" by Blink-182 - 6th grade cuz thats when this single came out. it was my introduction to blink
"Sporadic Movement" & "Close Yet Far" by CKY - my senior year of high school again
"Dani California" by Red Hot Chili Peppers - my freshmen year of college
"You Raised Me Up" by Josh Groban - my grandma cuz this was played at her funeral, i hated it then and still do now cuz it still brings me to tears =\
"Without Me" by Eminem - 8th grade

the list goes on but thats all i can think of for now.

Page Avenue-Story of The Year--reminds me of going to Ocean City, because back when I had only one mix CD, that was on the CD, and I listened to it everywhere. it also reminds me of times with friends
The Hell Song, Over My Head, We're All to Blame, and Pieces-- all remind me of 6th grade(back in 2004), when I first heard Sum 41
the whole Half Hour of Power album reminds me of having fun in Ocean City (it's like my 2nd home)
I can't even begin to mention all the songs that remind me of good memories with friends or family,etc so I won't, but there are A LOT!

Anything by Linkin Park - I don't like them now but every song of them can remind me of 7th and 8th grades and the good time I had then with friends.

Bullet for My Valetine - All These Things I Hate Revolve (Around Me) - a chick friend of mine and the time I had a big crush on her, which ended badly cuz she never felt the same. We're okay now though.

Billy Talent - Diamond on a Landmine - The lyrics relate to how I felt (and still feel) about my ex-girlfriend who dumped me not so long ago so It always makes me think about her.

Almost any song I really love also makes me think about my ex cuz we had a really similar taste in music and she liked all the songs I did, so most of my favorite songs remind me of her.

^ This.

West Side Highway by Pinhead Gunpowder - Reminds me of the best fucking wonderful trip I had.

Burn by Alkaline Trio - Makes me look back to 2008, I changed A LOT that year. I had some nice times, but the most of it was a living hell.

Gone Away by The Offspring - Reminds me the day I lost my grandma .-.

Jesus Of Suburbia by Green Day - I couldn't stop listening to this song in 2007, best year of my life.

First Date by Blink - All the stupid funny shit I did reminds me of this song.

Church On Sunday by Green Day - My boyfriend played it for me when we had our first fight. After that we had a pretty good time.

I think that's it
