My kids had to find 8 songs for school that had deep meaning to their lives... The teacher gave them 8 categories.... but here, we won't have that.... Just list 5 songs that have deep meaning for you, whatever that means to you. I'll add mine as soon as I get them all together.

    I guess when I think of deep meaning I think of my fiance...

    1) Everlong (our song)
    2) Brown Eyed Girl (cause I'm his)
    3) Good Morning Beautiful (when we were in college I would only see him on the weekends...and he would always sing this to me in the morning)
    4) Wonderful Tonight (again, another one he serenades me with. It's going to be our 1st dance at our wedding)
    5) .......I'm outta songs =(

    Don't know if they have deep meaning but these evoke bitter/sweet memories for me ...

    "Save the last dance for me" by The Drifters, memories of my Dad and my childhood
    "Catch the Wind" by Donovan ...The folk club my ex and I would go to when we first met
    "Saturdy Night" by Bon Jovi ...helped me get through the lowest depression point
    "Wonderful Tonight" by Clapton ...Ex used to sing it to me at his band's gigs
    "Last Christmas" by George Michael ...was on my then teenage sons keyboard as the default tune, happy days! Cannot hear it without wanting to get up and strangle whoever is making the music .....
  • Comfortably Numb- Pink Floyd
    Scar Tissue- Red Hot Chili Peppers
    Drive- Incubus
    This Cold- John Frusciante
    Modern Love- David Bowie

    Now thats my kind of music.... I would add in AWOLNATION - Sail into this...

    *So lucky to be in love with my best friend-jason mraz (song with ex-husband, he truly was my best friend for almost 10 years)
    *Don't you remember-Adele(also makes me think of my ex-husband)
    *I won't give up (song with boyfriend right now. we have had some extremely tough times together)
    *There is a church song that is called This is the Day that Lord has Made...many days during my depression I would sing this at the top of my lungs especially if I was at my dad's and my stepmom would sing just as loud with me....she calls me sometimes just to sing and it cheers up right away
    +Free to be Me-Franscesca Batistelli this song reminds me of just what it says I am okay the way I am for God and everyone else and if they can move one

    This made me very emotional!

    Mike and the Mechanics - The Living Years (reminds me of my dad)

    Brooks and Dunn - When I'm Gone (my mom walked out on my dad with no warning. He went to her to try and patch things up. To no avail, when we left...this song was on the radio)

    Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (How I feel very often in my chaotic life)

    John Michael Montgomery - Letters From Home & Tim McGraw - If You're Reading This (Reminds me of when my husband was in the Marines. He deployed often, and missed most of our oldest's life, and the birth of our twins. It makes me appreciative of him, and the fact that he came home with minimal scars.)

    Tom Petty - Free Fallin (This song played when my and my husband (then boyfriend) had our first kiss!)

    Rod Stewart - Forever Young (for my kids!)
