Ok so once my mum hummed this lil tune to my lil sis when she was a baby, it's not from a real song, she made it up. It really connected with me that one time she hummed it, I think she maybe hummed it to me as well when I was a baby. It's short and sweet, and I made some lyrics for it:

"In the darkness there's a light
Hold it close and hold it tight
In the darkness you're my light
You're my angel, shining bright"

I made it for my bff. Haven't sung it to her, only hummed the tune. It really fits, because I am blinding_darkness, and my bffs nickname for me is Nox, like the Greek goddess of night.
Hope you like it, xoxox

I remember when I was 7 or 8. My music teacher told my class to close our eyes and listen to different types of music and then describe how it made us feel and say what we imagined. She played a few different songs and then played Dance Of The Mountain King. Oh. My. Word. I hadn't paid any attention to classical music before and it was like it crept inside my soul. I have been a huge fan of classical music ever since. 30 years!

When I was helping my mom shop for her wedding, it was around december, we were in Evansville, and it was snowing. We were jamming out to Panic! At the Disco, and P!nk. That day I became a fan of both.

one time i was stressed and having a panic attack and just not very happy and my brother looked into my room then turned my Alexa on to my favorite music then left. i saw him but couldn't hear what he said because I was panicking too much but when I heard the music my tears stopped and I calmed down. i don't remember what happened after that but my mom told me she was coming to tell me to turn the music down and she found me asleep on the floor. she put me in bed and turned the music down so I could listen while I slept. i get most of my emotions from music so if it just a calm song I will calm down. the same goes for if its a happy, sad, or angry song.

I remember when I was 5 or 6, and when my little sister was about 4, we were in my parents' room. My dad had an old-school stereo where he would insert the CD's in and such. I remember liking classic children's songs like "Old MacDonald Had A Farm" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star." So my dad bought those CD's and put it in the stereo. I remember jamming out a lot.

When I was 7 or so, my dad would sing "What A Wonderful World" to me to help me fall asleep every night.
He doesn't even hear a word I say these days, but he still has the paper with the lyrics in his side table.

My mum and I have songs that we listen to in the car together.
Whenever Ophelia or Ain' Gonna Drown or anything by Pat Benatar comes on, we crank it and sing.







My friend and I used to do "Uptown Girl" and "Let's Get Physical" karaoake too.

I've got a LOT of musical memories. In fact, all my strong emotional memories are tied to music and scent. Paul Simon reminds me of summertime and ocean smells and stormclouds. Classic rock makes me feel like I'm driving through the woods and mountains and lakes to camp. Folk music is sitting around the fire with family and friends all night. And my old Irish ballads make me want to run through the wilderness.

My fondest memory is discovering how much I can relate to the song Undefeated by Skillet. I'm adopted, and I did not grow up normally. Biological parents were not very educated, yet I've accomplished more than they have.

I know how hard it can be without your biological family. All that matters is is you know that your REAL family has your back and they love no matter what.

Well, our grandparents lived about an hour away (because of insane traffic) from our house, so we didn't go there very often and I found myself really sad about it. So whenever we left there house, me and my siblings would ask while like half-crying: "turn on the sad songgggg" and she would play the song called "Pyramid song" by Radiohead. It was a very soothing song considering we were young and my parents were going through a nasty divorce. It was very calming for us, considering we would always cry a lot when going back to our house. I still listen to that album today and I think it still calms me down when im upset.

When I was 3 years old back in 1962, my dad would go to work and I'd sneak downstairs and play the "HiFi" that was a Silvertone which was a boxy thing that stood on 4 legs. I couldn't really read the labels but I knew which ones were which because of the labels. To this day, at 62 years old, I own over 10,000 vinyl LPs, many 45's and even old 78's. How ironic that I also have engineered, produced and worked on many records in my years. From locals to big names. No matter what happened in my life, music was always there for me. Oh, and I'm still fascinated by the labels!

My fondest memories of music all come under the general category of live concerts. Some particular call-outs:
- The Sweet, supporting the "Desolation Boulevard" album (1976)
- Queen, supporting the "A Day at the Races" album (1977)
- Styx, supporting the "Grand Illusion" album (1977)
- Harry Chapin (a two-night series of old then new material) (1978)
- A really good jazz trio at a small club in Kansas City (1987)
There have been other really outstanding shows, but these really shaped my expectation of live performances.

I had a little bunny doll that had a purple jumper and flowers in her ears. She had a music box inside of her that played a little tune that I thought all my life was made up, and it helped me fall asleep at night when I was little. Only a few months ago I realized that the song was “Can’t Help Falling In Love” by Elvis. I’ve never really had a connection to Elvis or that song so I’d heard of it before but never made the connection. So now I’m glad to call that song my childhood lullaby, and to this day whenever I hear it I still get a little sleepy. :)

My mom used to sing this old english song called 'The Keys to Cantaburry' to me when I was kid, I've sang it to all my nieces and nephews are some point.

Music is huge for me, especially my writing. I have dedicated playlists for specific books, and even specific characters to put on when I'm writing. It also helped me through a lot in life including my nervous breakdowns.

My Nanny (Grandma) has Alzheimer's. I took care of her for a while along with Grandpa before they went up to be closer to other family. They were in a memory care unit until Grandpa passed then her benefits got cut (Grandpa was a vet). She's with her daughter now. One day they drove down to have dinner at a restaurant with Mom and I and she started getting really nervous. I got her singing with me and she calmed down. One of her go to songs is 'Que Sera Sera' which is something she'd sing to me my entire life when I was worrying to much. It was amazing and my Aunt was telling me after that how music memory is the last to go. I knew about those studies already but it was nice to hear she knew about them too. There was a reason I sang to her and I've done it before.

The beginning of course were Nursery rhymes that my mum always used to sing to us. But my fondest memories are when we were travelling in the car, didn’t matter how far the destination was, we always did sing-a-longs. The most popular songs we sang were My highland goat, ram sam sam, get a job, gypsy rover, frere jacques etc.

I've loved music all my life. I play (and can teach) the piano, french horn, drums, and sing. One of my fondest memories is if the year Robin Hood came out in theatres, and that Bryan Adams song, "Everything I Do (I do it for you) was on the radio a LOT. That same summer, my family and my aunt and my 2 cousins and I went on a roadtrip down to Seattle, Washington. Even now, everytime I hear that song, I remember that roadtrip and all the fun we had
