  Everyone has a song that reminds them of a particular moment in their lives, happy or sad or sometimes indifferent. Its only that when you hear that song it takes you back even catching you off guard and suddenly your back in high school or remembering someone you loved and lost.

  How many of you have a song that reminds you of leaving the ORG. for me it’s The Beatles- The Long and Winding Road and most songs from the Let it be Album, for one thing my dad forbid me from listening to the Beatles, said they were hippies, well hearing that song now takes me back to 15 years old, standing up to my parents telling them I do not want anything to do with Witnesses and the many beatings and tactics that followed

  Imagine, by John Lennon

  Imagine there's no heaven
  It's easy if you try
  No hell below us
  Above us only sky
  Imagine all the people
  Living for today...
  
  Imagine there's no countries
  It isn't hard to do
  Nothing to kill or die for
  And no religion too
  Imagine all the people
  Living life in peace...
  You may say I'm a dreamer
  But I'm not the only one
  I hope someday you'll join us
  And the world will be as one
  
  Imagine no possessions
  I wonder if you can
  No need for greed or hunger
  A brotherhood of man
  Imagine all the people
  Sharing all the world...
  
  You may say I'm a dreamer
  But I'm not the only one
  I hope someday you'll join us
  And the world will live as one

  "For Those About to Rock" AC/DC
  
  I lost and gained a lot the day that I first heard that song/album. Anyone remember Malt Duck Liquor? Little bottles of Red, Yummy, Malt Liquor. When you're 13 it don't take many of 'em to make you do not-right things. Ever heard of a full-face hitter made from a gas mask? Yeah, did I mention I was 13.
  
  I think that's the day that Jehobee scratched me from the "Nice Kids" list.

  Herb Alpert - This Guys in Love With You...

  I remember it from my childhood, my Dad would play it all the time, along with Herb Alpert's other albums. The song itself doesn't have any relation to any one of us leaving the truth, and doesn't have any real meaning other than when I think of my Dad, I think of this song, his love for my mom... now he as well as just about the rest of my family have left.

  Guess i'm next. We'll see what song fits that occasion.

  Feelin So Good by Jennifer Lopez - It's exactly how I feel about leaving the borg and living my life and I play it every moring to remind to be grateful that I'm free

  When I opened up my eyes today
  Felt the sun shining on my face
  It became so clear to me that everything is going my way
  I feel like theres no limit to what I can seeGot rid of fears that were holding me
  My endless possibilities
  Has the whole world opened for meThats why Im feeling...
  Chorus: Im feeling so good
  I knew I would
  Been taking care of myself
  Like I should
  cause not one thing
  Can bring me down
  Nothing in this world gonna turn me round...
  Now the day is turning into night
  And everything is still going right
  Theres no way you can stop me this time
  Or break this spirit of mine
  Like the stars above Im gonna shine
  Anything I want will be mineTonight Im gonna have a good time
  Call a few friends of mine
  cause Im loving lifeAnd tonights for feeling...
