Old Spice would have a wonderful print ad or tv commercial focusing on stories from daughters whose dads wore their products. It would be a sweet ad and they'd sell gallons of Old Spice, especially to us daughters.  😥

That's how it is in my book for church music.  Some music is really hard for me.

@Love my grandkids, hugs to you.  I think GB's song, Unanswered Prayers, is very good too.

Not only a song but also a certain scent can illicit memories. When I smell Old Spice it brings back memories of my Dad. 


When I smell saw dust it makes me think of my Dad.  He was always out in the garage with some sort of wood working project going on.

That is so true especially if it's a song you shared with a loved one who has passed.

Re: Sometimes its not the Song

I am this way about the song THE DANCE by Garth Brooks. First it reminded me of my first husband and now it also makes me think of others I have lost like my parents, grandparents and a couple favorite Aunts & Uncles.I was blessed with a wonderful family growing up, but that makes the loss of them all the more bitter a pill to swallow.

Re: Sometimes its not the Song

I have read that our sense of smell is the strongest in evoking memories; a scent of a certain cologne or a certain food can transport us back to a special time or a special person....certainly true for me!

Re: Sometimes its not the Song

The song "Once again" that Kathie Lee & Brett James sing from the movie "Then came you" brings me to tears because it is sooooo beautiful!  Can't wait for the movie to come out.
