Thanks for this posting. I agree that GL must be the only singer and songwriter whose songs are there for any situation in my life. there are so many songs that take me instantly to a memory. Every single song on Endless Wire takes me back to college and the 5 hour drive i took nearly every week to see my future husband. Those songs can take me to exact places on the highway, especially Endless Wire and Dreamland.
however, the one specific song that gets me every time is Looking at the Rain. It was playing on the radio in my car as I was driving in the rain to the vet, the day my beloved childhood cat died.
"Wishing this was all a dream
And I'd find you sleeping when I wake"
those words take me to that cat and that day every time.
