I had a friend who was tripping on an army base stateside when they got an emergency call to deploy (also iraq pt 1). he ended up sitting in the bay of a troop carrier for hours, waiting to get airlifted. then they got told nevermind, go back to whatever you were doing, false alarm. that was when he decided to go awol.

This song means a lot to me. I just turned 18 on the 16th, a major milestone in life. The thing is though after moving into north-western Texas in late June, it seems that all my friends that live down here don't seem to appreciate anything but weed anymore. They didn't even call me on my birthday... I'm at a crossroads, do I stay in this place and stay young or do I move on and out leaving my family and bunk friends down here? Well, hopefully this December is different.. From the rest at least.hawksixnine 10 months ago
It was just before New Years 2009 and my kibbutz was under it's third day of rocket and mortar attacks. I was working in the dairy and trying to ignore the explosions all around me when the radio played this song. That was the first time I have ever heard it and the world stopped for me when it played. I still tear up everytime I hear it.....rakiaofek 10 months ago
I fell in love to this song many years ago. I flew across the country to be with her when I was seventeen. That story ended for me half a decade later but this song still reminds me that there are always beautiful things to look forward to in life.0158014 10 months ago

Dude...me and my friend were in my truck, drivin' down the road and we got into an argument, it escalated and we were ready to kill each other. He had a plastic fork and I had a plastic knife and we were goin' to rip each other's head off, but then this song came up on the radio and we just looked at the radio and back at each other and just apologized to each other and just relaxed in his garage with a few beers.Gia Kang 1 year ago 3

from this thread:
Def Leppard was, is, and always will be bad ass. i have every cd and music video, my fav tune and video shall always be "bringin on the heartbreak" . it was me and my fiance's song, not for the words, but we loved the powerful emotion it conveyed. my fiance was killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her. any way, def leppard is totally bodacious, i pray they don't sell out like most of the 80's bands these days

is it skepticism or is it that you're just tired of seeing them? It wouldn't surprise me that loss of a special person would trigger really strong sense of nostalgia and sadness when someone hears a particular song. I can't think of why someone would lie/exaggerate about this particular type of nostalgia.

killed in an auto accident, decapitated by a drunk driver. my friend and i busted our guitars out and played "bringin on the heartbreak" and "in time" by robbie robb(our other fav song) in her honor, but noone except her and my parents understood what i was doing, thought i was damning her.
― Poliopolice, Monday, 29 October 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
specific but... "busted out our guitars" doesn't pass the test for me.
― Author ~ Coach ~ Goddess (s1ocki), Monday, 29 October 2012 16:59 (eleven years ago) link
plausibility depends on whether they busted out their guitars immediately after the accident, feet away from the disaster

Sarah McLachlan - Hold On (live)

This song makes me think of December 31, 2008. I was in the hospital having a baby I named Sarah who didn't make it. The next day I started chemotherapy for the cancer that took my daughter the day before. Not knowing if I'd live for my husband or my other children was scary. Thank God I'm still alive. So hearing this really touches a sensitive spot in my heart. Thanks Sarah for getting me through this.

I posted this on a different thread, a comment on Melanie/Edwin Hawkin's "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)":
"It was 1971, I was 31 years old, a low almost suicidal point in my life after I got out of the service. I drove up to Topanga Canyon above Malibu and stopped at the Corral. A young lady asked me to play this song on the jukebox. We chatted and in the end she changed my life. Strange but true. Joanne McDonald...here's to you where ever you are!"

['Invisible Sun' by the Police]
Alpha9Z6 years agoI recently came across a letter from my ex which she wrote many years ago, when we were still young. She told me how amazing she thought this song was. I can't remember ever having listened to it. So i thought i'd google it and indeed - this song seems pretty great.Unfortunately, she left me last year, but I am glad she still was able to add something positive to my life by introducing this song to me, even though it wasn't on purpose. She really was the most beautiful, smart and caring woman I have ever met and I am sad I lost her. But life goes on, so now i should just be glad that at least I got to know this song because of our break-up. Thank you, Judith! <3

[The Lifting by REM]
@Snagman672 years agoI remember first hearing this song in the summer of 2001. I was 25 years old living in Portland OR, and it was one of the most awful years of my life. I Went through a really bad break-up with my then fiancé, the World Trade Center attacks, and my dead end job where I worked the graveyard shift was finally starting to get to me. I was going through a great deal of depression that year. This was one of the songs I listened to quite often that year, and believe it or not I get a great feeling of wonderful nostalgia hearing this today for the first time in probably 15+ years. Funny thing is, hearing this song reminded me of all the good times that I actually tried to make out of it all that year, which is why I actually find this song comforting.

Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"
Alden Charley3 months agoI lost my wife of almost 20 years to Cancer on 09/12/22.... When we first met I took her to a Queensryche concert in Albuquerque,NM. That was night we both really understand that we were soul mates I guess... And I held her when they started playing this song, and we were inseparable since than. It was early 2020 we found out she had Cancer and because of Covid it was hard to get into a hospital for treatment. Two years went by with very little medical visits till early 2022 and things took a turn for the worse and did my very best to be there for her as much as I could. I even quit my job just to take her to her Chemotherapy treatment and stuff. I could tell by her physical appearance that her body was getting frail but to me she is always that beautiful Navajo woman that I fell with regardless of her physical appearance. She left us ( our kids and I)! in the early morning hours of 09/12/22. And eversince than I would dream of her and till a month later she came to me once again in my dream and told me she is home and gonna go to sleep and eversince than I felt peace and Comfort. Rest easy my love Tawnya I love and miss you tremendously 😭
Pablo Blanco3 months agoMy son passed away today and this is the song that I dedicated to him when he was born in 1991, the same year Queensryche released the Empire album. RIP my son.
Joseph Mojica4 months agoI had this cassette in Saudi during Desert Shield/Storm and would look at the stars at night hoping to make it home. Months later I made hope and turned on the tv and this song started to play. I cried. God was telling me I was home. Will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Queensryche for the incredible memories.
Mÿndcrime2 months agoMy Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. I'm proud to say he had amazing taste in music and because of that, he had a huge influence on my musical interests.He loved this song. My love for Queensrÿche and my love for this song...I influenced him too.I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. ❤️
The Crusader1 year ago (edited)My dad asked to play this at his funeral, I never understood why until he passed and I listend to the lyrics. It makes sense now. I come back here every so often to reminisce him.

Wow! He gives a little hat-tip to the podcast Heavyweight at the end, but it really does feel like a episode of that show.

[Golf Girl by Caravan]
@twohamburgers2 years agoI can't really listen to this song without crying anymore. It's one of my favorite songs of my entire life, but it reminds me to much of a world that is no longer able to exist, especially when it comes to artistry and music.
@Gino5651 year agoOh please. I’ve had enough of this ‘music was better when x happened”. There’s still plenty of great music being produced today, you just won’t hear it if you only pay attention to what’s top 10 on the radio.
@ZalMoxis1 year ago @Gino565 You have zero insight. It's the underlying feeling presented in this song as well as from most bands of the period. That period of music was an open book of exoteric projection of positivity and uplift whereas today's music is introverted, perverse and completely self indulgent. The majority of today's music is produced by a cabal of evil. Real musicians have been marginalised and the loss of the swing within the music through the use of computers has rendered it sterile in comparison.
@StoanPhrogg1 year agoI'm 29 but I feel similar. Found Caravan (and the Canterbury scene) in my early 20s when I was a college student and had so many quirky idealistic friends. It felt like anything was possible. I was best friends with a foreign exchange student girl who was so witty and charming and really got me to come out of my shell. Everything was interesting and it really felt like every day was a dream where you could be yourself and try new things and someone somewhere would understand. Anyway, that was only my experience, but I imagine that idealism and freedom (like the arrival of a nice springtime) is what life must've felt like for many young people during the early prog years.
