Magical Music
Do you have a list of songs that evoke emotions, stir memories or can only be described in one word: “magical”? For some odd reason, I was pondering that tonight as I was going through my yet unorganized iTunes Library while deftly avoiding my homework. My list may look pretty hokey to you, but these songs, for one reason or another, are among my top favorites. What are yours?
You’ll notice that these songs are mainly from the 80’s pop genre. I have a whole ‘nother list of hard rock “hair band” songs, but I’ll save that for another time. After all, I do have homework to finish. Stop distracting me!
“I’ll Be Over You” by Toto
“Fortress Around Your Heart” by Sting
“Head over Heels” by Tears for Fears
“Love Theme from St. Elmo’s Fire” by David Foster
“Man in Motion” by John Parr
“The Flame” by Cheap Trick
“Something About You” by Level 42
“Take Me Home Tonight” by Eddie Money
“Lay Your Hands on Me” by Thompson Twins
“Down Under” by Men at Work
“Miles Away” by Winger
A 30-something Christian girl, blissfully wedded to her perfect match (the yang to her yin) of 14 years. Living life in Hawaii, less than 5 miles from her hometown, a slave to her mortgage payment, but seeking balance in her pursuit of family, faith, recreation, and rest.
My list is over here. Hope you were able to complete your homework assignments.
I don’t know any of them hahahahahaha
It’s true, some songs are like a bell in our minds.
We were listening a song when we were doing something special or so…

OK, now I’m really feeling old because those are 80s tunes from the “I want my MTV” era. Magical for me? Just about the whole Abbey Road album, the Axis: Bold as Love album by Jimi Hendrix, Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd, “So Very Hard to Go” by Tower of Power, “Europa” by Santana… And of course, “Just the Way You Are” by Billy Joel (because that’s my wife’s and my song).
surfchik’s songs: take on me (a-ha)/glory of love (peter cetera)/ total eclipse of the heart (bonnie tyler)/ ku’u home o kahaluu (olomana)/ lady in red (chris de burgh)/ bizarre love triangle (new order)/ against all odds (phil collins)/ truly madly deeply (savage garden)/ on my own from les miserables/ shimauta (the boom)…
