Music Memories: Something There To Remind Me… SADE
Sade – Smooth Operator
When Smooth Operator came out, I listened to it endlessly… It reminded me of a cad or two I’d met over the years… You know, the type that promised everything and delivered nothing… Need I say more? Enjoy the music. Reflect on your experiences and share them below… Come back later for more.
“One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain.” Bob Marley

Music is very motivational to me & I almost always have music on. Whether it is in the car, on in the kitchen while I cook, or I have my ipod on while I workout.
Music has always been a big part of my life. I’d say 90 % of my day has music involved somehow. It keeps me going!
I don’t get as much music in my life as i need these days 🙁
Many songs remind me of significant events throughout my life. It certainly is a big part of my life.
Dude! Phil Collins rocks. Love his music. Nice post
Certain songs will bring you back to a different time and place, hopefully they’re usually good ones.
I love music. It truly heals my soul. Thanks!!
I remember listening to these same tunes over and over. They were good songs.
Music definitely soothes you and can affect your mood. I like listening to old favorites and reliving memories in my mind on a rough day. It makes me feel more alive and happy.
Music definitely brings back memories whenever I hear certain songs I’m taken back to the time I was int he hospital.
“Desert Moon” sung by Dennis Deyoung still reminds to be one of my favorites. It reminds me of the time when I still on the threshold of life raring to make it make it on my own.
“Those summer nights when we were young.We bragged of things; we’d never done. We were dreamers …”
Oh and I love Sade’s Smooth Operator too.
I love Sade.. brings back so many memories.
V nice, v informative..inspiring.. I’d like to see all Musicians under a big Umbrella. Happy to be with You all. Thnx. Bhanu.
I go through cycles with music. Sometimes it is a big part of my life and sometimes not. Usually when I am working out it becomes a huge part.
I hadn’t made an effort to listen to music regularly for awhile and I was feeling really down and depressed but then I began listening to music again and my spirits lifted instantly! I love looking back on all the songs I listened to as a kid, teen and an adult.
I have always loved the song, Always Something There To Remind Me. i used to listen to music all the time. It seems the older I get, the more I want peace and quiet.
Journey songs always make me think of high school and I guess it’s because they played them everywhere I was!
Right now, I’m listening to a variety of genres. I have several favorite artists – and thanks to the iPod, I can make a playlist with everyone on it!
i love all kinds of music my husband calls my play list manic. lol I have gotten out of listening to music all the time usually I enjoy the silence when hubby and kids are at school.
Music does trigger a lot of things in us – memories, emotions.. and sometimes, just listening to it makes us feel better.
I like that! Music has always been a huge part of my life, and I am making sure the kids get to hear it everyday. It can give you hope, and peace, courage. Everything you need
My husband is a huge Sade fan, and I used to LOVE Phil Collins’ music. I still get happy when I hear a song of his that I loved when I was in school. 🙂
I love music when I am in the mood to hear it. Otherwise, it can be distracting
I heard someone say that music is the language of your emotions. I just loved that quote. And it’s so true. When you don’t have words to express yourself; often times there is a great song that can do it for you.
I love Phil Collins. In the Air Tonight and that song he sings for Tarzan are both classics, lol.
I was pretty young when those songs came out so they weren’t really on my play list. It’s great though how a song brings back so many memories!
It’s amazing the emotions you can bring to the surface just by listening to certain pieces of music. x
I love listening to music! It’s such a great way to make you feel something and remind you of certain periods of your life. My first cassette tape was Phil Collins!
Beautiful thoughts! I LOVE music. It’s such a huge part of my life – I can’t imagine being without it!
Music always motivates me to keep going and to feel joyful.
Music is definitely food for the soul. It can make or break an event or a person’s day.
Music really does a lot i love when a song will remind me of something from the past.Great choices on your tracks especially Phil Collins.
Nothing soothes me more than music! I love all genres too! I’m not sure I’ve heard of Sade before, I think maybe my Grandma likes her, lol. I love that Bob Marley quote though, one of my favs! 🙂
Music is so important to me! Great choices and I absolutely love Phil Collins. He puts me in a great mood!
Music is a very large part of my family’s life. My husband sings and plays a few instruments and I have music on in the house 24/7.
Music is important. I just listen in the car, but need to bring in more music into the home too.
Music is a huge part of my daily life! When I find a song that I just really connect with, I play it over and over again until I have the whole thing memorized lol.
I remember these songs, what a memory! Music is awesome like that, transporting you to different places in your mind. 🙂
I remember when I saw smooth operator for the first time, I did not like the song at all. I think I was more jealous of Sade because she looked so beautiful in that video.
I love that Phil Collins song! It’s one of my favorites!
I love listening to music that is very relaxing and meaningful. Some songs fit my situation in life and some lyrics fits me and bring back memories.
Music has such a powerful way to bring back memories. Sometimes memories you want to forget. I have a few song that I once loved but not don’t listen to because they bring back memories that makes me sad.
I have a few of those too… but with time, our memory of the event heals.
Wow…on first glance I thought it was a photo of Jennifer Lopez. Sade looks great in that picture!
TY! Really? I’m glad you looked again. I do love J Lo too. 🙂
Thanks for the music post! I have some that just ‘take me back’ and I LOVE them!!
