Like, it reminds you of them.

I'm sure we ALL have

I have 2- one still isn't played- the other HAS to be played purely because it's one of the finest songs Neil Finn every wrote, which by definition means it's one of the finest songs ever

Distant Sun (now allowed to be played)- oh that outro....stunning

    I thought you'd have gone for that classic romantic ballad...

    "Lick My Love Pump"

    Not really.  Music is more important to me than women and women always have poor taste in music.

    Yeah I used to love Knockin on Heaven's Door until I went out with Axl Rose briefly.

    There's a few for me. Lola, Funky Cold Medina and Dude Looks Like A Lady. It may have ruined the songs but on the plus side it saved me spending out on another trip back to Thailand.

    I no longer listen to the Cure because it reminds me of my ex-gf.
    I won't leave the room if it comes on or anything like that. ;)

    Look on the bright side- you can share runny mascara now.

    Skid Row - I remember you.

    Was it Lucy or Lisa.... I forget.

    I’m so bored I might as well be listening to Pink Floyd

    In all seriousness... I've never had a song with anybody. I don't get it. Seems like lame shit from a dodgy romance novel to me.

    No.
    But I think naming your guitar after your significant other is a very bad idea (for the same/similar reason).
    BB King had the right idea.

    Not by an ex but my brother. He screwed my family over massively when my Dad died and still can't listen to a few songs from our youth without wanting to find him and inflict immense amounts of pain on him.

    Fingers of Love by Crowded House reminds me of my Nan.

    First song I ever heard after she'd died- she was very into nature- the words sum her up


    Can you imagine that
    An itch too sensitive to scratch
    The light that falls through the cracks
    An insect too delicate to catch
    I hear the endless murmur
    Every blade of grass that shivers in the breeze
    And the sound that comes to carry me
    Across the land and over the sea

    And I can't look up
    Fingers of love move down
    And I can't look back
    Fingers of love move down

    Colour is its own reward
    Colour is its own reward
    The chiming of a perfect chord
    Let's go jumping overboard
    Into waves of joy and clarity
    Your hands come out to rescue me
    And I'm playing in the shallow water
    Laughing while the mad dog sleeps

    And I can't look up
    Fingers of love move down
    And I won't be hit
    Fingers of love move everywhere

    There is time yet
    Fall by the way
    From the cradle to the grave
    From a palace to the gutter
    Beneath the dying waves of the sun
    Lie fingers of love

    Through waves of joy and clarity
    A fallen angel walked on the sea
    And I'm playing in the shallow water
    Laughing while the mad dog sleeps

    And I can't look up
    Fingers of love move down
    And I won't be hit
    Fingers of love move everywhere

    There is time yet
    For you to find me
    And all I want
    Fingers of love move down

    I used to love this song.  It warmed me heart to know that she cared as much for me as I did for her. Life felt complete.  Two halves were finally one.  Every time the song came on the radio we'd stare for what seemed like an eternity into each others eyes.  Many a fond memory of coming home to a candlelit dinner, with candles in the bathroom, lit up with the lights deemed like something angel sent, with this song on the 33.  Good times.  We were a match made in heaven.  Why we went our separate ways I'II never know.  The song still brings a tear to my heart to this day
