Story Time!
I met this girl a couple of years ago at a friends party and we hit it off instantly. We had similar interests and were both big Potterheads. We exchanged numbers and texted for a while and when things went well, we decided to go out for dinner and get to know each other in person.
It was a nice dinner. We talked about a world of things and one of the topics amongst it was Music. Our choices, likes and dislikes, artists/bands we completely geeked out on, etc.
Turns out, she was a huge (and I mean HUGE) fan of Queen (The Band) and almost walked away halfway through dinner when I told her I did not know about them (THE BLASPHEMY!! – I know). In my defence, I’d heard of Bohemian Rhapsody and Freddie Mercury (because they’re icons and I don’t live under a rock), but I never knew about the band or some of it’s other music.
Luckily, Bohemian Rhapsody (The Movie) had released a couple of weeks back and she decided that we had to go see it. I was enjoying the company too much and had faith in her choices by now to oblige. We left our dinner halfway and ran to grab the last show of the day.
Let me tell you this, that was one of the most amazing movies I saw that year and somewhat changed my life forever. I mean, Rami Malek as Freddie Mercury was so brilliant and THE MUSIC!!!!!
On my way back home, I downloaded the entire album from the movie and heard Bohemian Rhapsody atleast 10 times before going to bed. I have been a big big fan of Queen since.
Here’s the interesting part. Although things with that person did not go too far, she brought something so awesomely intangible, that it is going to stay with me forever.
She is always going to be the person who introduced me to Queen and every time I listen to Bohemian Rhapsody or any other Queen song (but who am I kidding, nothing beats Bohemian Rhapsody), I am reminded of her.
Honestly, this is one of the nicest ways to remember someone if you ask me. I’d be pretty happy if someone were to remember me when they heard such a legendary song. Which is why I ask you?
“What song would you want to be remembered by?”
Ps. Here’s a link to Bohemian Rhapsody, for all those who want to listen to it since I’ve mentioned it numerous times now!

Thats a pretty tough question to answer considering my large taste in music. But i don’t want to be remembered by just one song though but rather a series of songs. I shared your same experience with my ex and i still thank him for introducing me to my now favorite artist .

Oh! This is such a good question. I’m about to start exploring memoir writing and would be a great prompt.

Tricky question 🙂 just because the song I want to be remembered by is maybe different from the song others remember me by. So if I should hope a top 3 song other people might think of me when playing they might be (I have to pick 3):
1. Alive, Pearl Jam. Being a massive fan of PJ, I will always play this song when there is music availiable to be played at any occation.
2. No One Knows, Queens Of The Stone Age. The ultimate rock dance song.
3. Rusy Cage, Soundgarden. A great song, and covered by Johnny Cash its very good as well.

Blue Monday. New Order. Original EP version. It is still the biggest selling 12” single.

Different people will remember me differently, I think. My Uni friends Head on The Door (The Cure), my children Midnight in the Subway (The Cure – gave them nightmares 😁) or There May be Trouble Ahead (Nat King Cole – I sing it regularly to/at them). My husband (I hope) Feeling Good, Nina Simone and maybe Common People by Pulp. That’s a lot more than you asked for 😁
