Flashback Friday: The Songs that Stayed With Us

This week's Flashback Friday is on the Songs That Stayed With Us. Perhaps I Go Back by Kenny Chesney helps capture the power of a song to take us back to a place and time.

"Jack and Diane" painted a picture of my life and my dreams.
Suddenly this crazy world made more sense to me.
Well, I heard to today, and I couldn't help but sing along.
Cause every time I hear that song...

I go back to a two-toned short bed Chevy.
Drivin' my first love out to the levvy.
Livin' life with no sense of time.
And I go back to the feel of a fity yard line, a blanket, a girl, some rasberry wine.
Wishin' time would stop right in its tracks.
Everytime I hear that song, I go back.

Just like songs can help inspire us when we're writing, books can also inspire songs. Here's a couple of songs that were inspired by books:

There's Greenday's Who Wrote Holden Caulfield, which is making an allusion to the famous MC in Salinger's Catcher in the Rye.

Or Taylor Swift's "Romeo and Juliet", which is on the soundtrack to the upcoming movie Letters to Juliet.

There's David Bowie's "1984", which was inspired by 1984, the George Orwell novel.

Bruce Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad" inspired by John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath.

And how about Led Zepplin using the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings to inspire their songs Ramble On, The Battle of Evermore, Over the Hills and Far Away, and Misty Mountain Top.
