This Songwriter Has A Song To Remember

by UpClose Publications March 30, 2017
written by UpClose Publications March 30, 2017

Have you ever been strolling down the aisle at the grocery store, when suddenly you hear a song that triggers a memory from your past?

This happens to me a lot. Back in the day, I remember thinking the songs played in the grocery stores were boring oldies. Now, these are the songs I hold close to my heart.

Last week, I had a flashback, when the song Missing You came across the speakers at a Bashas’ grocery store. Listening to the melody and lyrics, time stood still as I stared at the almond milk in the fridge. It took me back to my first love. Missing You was our song, and it happened to be a very sad song for us.

Why? Well, I left him in Fargo, N. D., and flew off to New York City to go to art school. We broke up shortly after I left, and Missing You is the song that has eternally held the key to my sadness and grief.

While living in Los Angeles 10 years later, I met a bass player from Minneapolis at an art opening. We worked on a few songs together in his studio and became lifelong friends. One day, at lunch, he casually mentioned he co-wrote the song Missing You. I couldn’t believe it. What are the odds?

My dear friend wrote the song that has tormented me for many years. John Waite, Tina Turner, Alison Krauss, Rod Stewart and a few others have covered it. The truth is, even today, that song brings tears to my eyes and sets me right back to the year 1984. It’s amazing what a song can do.
