What songs remind you of an ex?

[Todd]

So what songs or artists remind you of an ex, any ex, so much that you turn the stereo off or change the station? For me its.....

Anything by Bon Jovi
Bubbly by Colbie Calait

I don't think I have ever had to change the station but I do have lots of songs that remind me of exes.

For my ex-husband - Another One Bites the Dust by Queen was one of his favorite songs. and he was really into techno for a while so Crystal Method always seems to have memories.

For my ex-boyfriend (the first real long-term one) - Do You Like It by Our Lady Peace ... that particular album came out right as we were breaking up and in my angst the words were very heart-wrenching. (I was such a drama queen at 20) He also made me a CD with lots of different songs and whenever I hear those songs I think of him. We are good friends now so it's not a bad thing but still brings back memories of college.

Borderline by Madonna actually and I don't really care for madonna but when I hear that song it reminds me of my ex

[Wendee]

My 1st marriage, our song was Songbird by Fleetwood Mac, brings back sappy, happy memories.
My 2nd marriage, our song was It's Your Love by Faith Hill & Tim McGraw. Still makes me cry. I must change the station when this one comes on.

My Tractor's Sexy by Tim McGraw, and Breathe Faith Hill.... these ones sometimes make me choke up even now b/c my kids know the Tractor song as Daddy's song, and Breathe was my ring tone for him when we first got together.

Anything Goes by Randy Houser... I imagine him hearing this one and being sad about "us".

1st husband - No Doubt "Don't Speak" - We didn't have a couple song, but we did have this as our break-up song. He bought me the CD and everything........LOL. It's funny now, but not so much at the time. We stayed very good friends until his recent passing in April 2008.

2nd husband - Journey was "our band" - "Faithfully" was our song. It doesn't hurt to hear it, just pisses me off and I change the station.

Anything by Nickelback, Staind, and our song together was "Rainy Dayz" by Mary J Blige
Our wedding song was "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton. It was the first song we slow danced to. Bleck

[Jordan]

the cure reminds me of my first real relationship. that sucks because i like the cure, but it really brings back a ton of emotion that i don't always want

[Tony]

Unravel by Björk.

Actually, the whole Homogenic CD is tainted.

[Tam]

Sister Christian by Night Rider reminds me of the first husband --- hate that song

anything by Bruce Hornsby reminds me of the second husband

Rod Stewart, Reo Speedwagon or Def Leppard remind me of the LOVE of my life

[Meagan]

Most Latin music (he was a Spanish speaker). Some goofy English ones. A few where we went to concerts together.

[Peter]

For me there are so many Billy Joel songs that get me. "She's got a way" was always special because it described how I felt with her, but now fighting to believe how much she hurt me with her affairs - Billy's "She always a woman."

It's hard to believe I lived with her cheating and emotional abuse so long - and She's always a woman just makes me feel stupid that I can't be angry and mad.

My ex husband: From Talking Heads/ More Songs About Buildings and Food: Found a Job. I have a lovely memory of him jumping up and down naked to that song during the end where they ramble on with the melody.

My ex-love: Moon River, when Morrissey sings it. Too much of that relationship was long distance so it is particularly fitting.

I have had to stop listening to Joanna Newsom for a while since the most recent difficult break up (that happened a year ago now). It only makes me long to merge again.

My first kiss: Jerry Was a Race Car Driver by Primus.

Oh dear and I almost forgot to add one of the most important ones: Sebadoh, for jg. He made me mix tapes all the time and he would always put Sebadoh on them.
