Songs that instantly take you back...

[JRNYMAN]

...to your high school days - or - to those carefree days when nothing in the world mattered more than that time in your life, and life was good!

Was listening to Aldo Nova today and got nostalgic so I grabbed one of my playlists that has exactly those kinds of songs. Two that really take me back are:
Aldo Nova - Can't Stop Lovin' You

AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long

[Archetype]

Cary Brothers - Ride (Tiesto Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cUOl3LEOcrI

Takes me back to the summer of 2009 when I had more money than I knew what to do with. Going to Toronto for weekends for the nightclubs. The really fun 3.5 hour drive there on Friday nights and the dead tired drive home on Sunday evenings. The hottest girls of my life. Shopping trips with no regard whatsoever for price tags. Wearing the best clothes. The 4 of us still hang out regularly but life responsibilities and age have caught up with us a little bit. I did just spend $100 on vodka though...

speaking of Aldo, one of my top ten melodicrock songs of all time...

Madonna and Babyface: Take a Bow. My brother T-Time, when I was real little, would take me places with him all the time and we would sing this song in the car. He taught me Babyface's part and it was my duty to act out my lines haha.

Hootie and the Blowfish: Hannah Jane. Man, it is virtually impossible to pick my favorite Hootie song. Hootie ranks up there as one of my all-time favorite bands. A big nod to my childhood, driving to Ocean City and as soon as we arrive, my dad would put the sun-roof down and pump his fist and blast Hootie. Good stuff.

Cheap Trick - Surrender

Oh man! I completely forgot about Surrender!! When I was a sophomore in HS, there was this movie that me and my best friend watched about these teens who were rebels and at the end of it they decided to run away. Taking that as our inspiration, we decided we were going to jack a Trans Am from the Pontiac dealer in the town where we lived and run away. And of course, Surrender was our anthem! We never did steal the car but both of us did leave home for a while but eventually (like 3 days later...) went back. Such a great song that one!

I knew if I dangled a Canadian musician out there Deb would take the bait! Agreed! Great tune!
As for "I Can't Hold Back".... Awesome! It gets a lot of airplay in my house. My wife is a huge Survivor fan and there are about 6 Survivor tunes that are in constant rotation in our main playlist.
