Songs that cause you too much pain

"Buy high. Sell low"
Subscriber
The music we listen to forms a sort of soundtrack for our lives, and individual songs can become intimately linked with specific people and/or events. For example, every time I hear Bruce Springsteen sing "Rosalita" it transports me back to my high school days, driving my spiffy red AMC Gremlin, and trying to make out with cheerleaders in the parking lot.

Sometimes the memories and associations create a pleasant nostalgia, but other times they are just too painful. For example, I cannot listen to Pink Floyd's 'Wish You Were Here' without thinking about my ex-wife and reliving the most painful parts of our divorce.

What songs do you avoid? Which ones take you to the bad place?

Laura/ The Babys
I worked with a girl named Laura who's boyfriend was a total price. She always had a kind word for every one,her smile lit up a room but I sensed she wasn't happy. I learned later she died of ovarian cancer and I wished I had asked her out. Laura Young I miss you.

 
Not a specific song....But a band.

Years ago I noticed that any time I listened to Skynyrd, I would later encounter some misfortune, unpleasantness, or other negative event.
 
This one because it reminds me of when things didn't work out with some woman I fell for

 
Hey
Skynyrd for me as well. It was on the old pioneer pl 400 the night my dad died.
Still can't listen to freebird without my mind going back there 1981.Hell of a deal. Eric

I'm not a rap or puff daddy fan but this song always gets me. Reminds me of someof the friends I have lost over the years


Give anything to hear half your breath. I know you're still living your life after death. Miss you guys :(

Hey Jude. It came on the car radio just as the accident that took my Dads life was about to happen. Dad and his buddy were coming home from a party on Jan 31 1968 when the song came on the radio, Dad said turn it up Reg, I like this song. As Reg was reaching for the volume knob the car hit black ice and lost control. It ended up rolling over and when Dad told Reg to hang on he grabbed one of the top rails (60 Impala convertible) and it took 3 fingers off of his left hand. Dad banged his head and was killed instantly. I still have a tough time when Hey Jude comes on. In the summer and spring when I golf a lot I go by that spot where it happened and am always extra careful on that corner.
 
Here's a song by Elvis no less...that every time I start to listen to this tune, I just can't keep it on.


Elvis sang this song in his first public performance (1945) when he was five years old at a country fair, down Miss/Bama way, standing on a chair (couldn't reach the mike) dressed in a cowboy outfit at the time. I think he came in second, or third? winning a cash prize of a whole $5.

The song? "Old Shep". If a pet person who has felt a loss, I need say no more, eh?
