Sometimes when I am depressed I listen to songs that hold powerful memories for me, and although they make me think of even more depressing moments, but it feels right.
All the songs below might not be depressing for their own sake, but they remind me of people no longer with us....of times long ago, and just provoke massive feelings of saddness.
Please join me in, if you'd like, songs that do the same for you....songs that hold memories of people, places and times we cannot allow ourselves to forget.
This diary, for me, is dedicated to my parents and the first person I ever fell in love with, who committed suicide when he was 18.
