Revision

You know those songs that somehow just move you: Make you happy? Sad? Take you back to a place and time? To a person you’ll never forget? To a moment you’ll never forget?

There are so many.

I am feeling a little nostalgic tonight, but not because the song I am loving so much right now takes me back. Rather it’s one of those rare songs that feels old. That feels nostalgic, even though it is brand new.

No, it’s not a Rush song. In fact, for the record, I think their new album is kind of boring.

I am interested in the songs that take you back. Propel you forward. Give you hope when you’re down. Pump you up (I am thinking of you Jen, when I make this solicitation — you and your Joan Jett!). Please comment with your songs and what they make you think of, etc. I really want to know!
