I was nineteen years old when I was in the war in 1972. One of the guys in my platoon had this song on 8 track tape. while walking through the elephant grass. We came up on a burnt out tank (ours) got in. got comfortable,dropped acid. (brown acid)some where during the night we were over come. The only memory I have of that night, is this song playing its violent guitar solo.And fighting this enemy solder with my fingers and teeth I woke up during dawn, and guy was ripped in pieces next to me.

a friend of mine was in iraq pt. 1 and they tripped a lot because for some reason it wasn't that hard for ppl to just mail tabs in a letter and not get caught

I had a friend who was tripping on an army base stateside when they got an emergency call to deploy (also iraq pt 1). he ended up sitting in the bay of a troop carrier for hours, waiting to get airlifted. then they got told nevermind, go back to whatever you were doing, false alarm. that was when he decided to go awol.

This song means a lot to me. I just turned 18 on the 16th, a major milestone in life. The thing is though after moving into north-western Texas in late June, it seems that all my friends that live down here don't seem to appreciate anything but weed anymore. They didn't even call me on my birthday... I'm at a crossroads, do I stay in this place and stay young or do I move on and out leaving my family and bunk friends down here? Well, hopefully this December is different.. From the rest at least.

It was just before New Years 2009 and my kibbutz was under it's third day of rocket and mortar attacks. I was working in the dairy and trying to ignore the explosions all around me when the radio played this song. That was the first time I have ever heard it and the world stopped for me when it played. I still tear up everytime I hear it.....

I fell in love to this song many years ago. I flew across the country to be with her when I was seventeen. That story ended for me half a decade later but this song still reminds me that there are always beautiful things to look forward to in life.

"the smell of hospitals in winter... and the feeling that its all a lot of oysters, but no pearls"
Remainds me so much of spending my 30th birthday on call as a senior resident... up all night in some damn teaching hospital, getting home the next day to find that my girlfriend had abandoned a birthday cake and a few presents for me... one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me, and one for the sadest sights Ive ever seen... I think I knew I loved her then, married her...

My friend committed suicide 2 nights ago with the lyrics "I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself to hold on to these moments as they last" as his last post to FB. I Googled them and I wound up here. All I wanna say is Goodbye man and God-Speed Bryan, you were a great soldier and friend! From me and all your friends.

Dude...me and my friend were in my truck, drivin' down the road and we got into an argument, it escalated and we were ready to kill each other. He had a plastic fork and I had a plastic knife and we were goin' to rip each other's head off, but then this song came up on the radio and we just looked at the radio and back at each other and just apologized to each other and just relaxed in his garage with a few beers.

Reminds me of when I was a freedom fighter, in South America. I found myself skydiving for
what felt like forever... all the time. Hell, I'd commandeer choppers, just so I could get
in the air and jump one more time. The solitude always saved me.

Into installations I'd fly, alone and silent, to save lives, to destroy illegal arms...

Thank you for your comments to me. The words I know are true and said very beautifully. I am waiting for my heart to get over the loss. I know I will at least partially someday. I went through our cd's and found his cd's and a DVD of Foreigner and will spend some time today enjoying them and memories of him.

Lyn, I'm so sorry. Let me return a hug you passed to me few days ago. Thanks you for the kind comments then. It is very stressing for the surviver to review our lost love ones personal items, lingering imaginations, thoughts of reasons, purpose of each item smothered deeply in each container. I don't touch anything anymore, leaving it the way my wife placed it 12 months ago. Stay busy and with others.

It was 1987 An older kid named Craig brought his tape out to the front porch and started to play the album "hey you have got to listen to the new album" huh. I had never even heard the last album. More and more songs played. The night was warm ,the air filled with the sounds of the Substance album. as Craig played it over and over. From that day on I was a New Order fan.. Sadly My friend Craig Passed away a few years later. I always remember Craig when I play this album. My youth, My friends, Peace. Music lives on....

My dad died in April 2018 aged 63 years, he was a big fan of Cream, we never paid much attention to him about music but when he died we googled the band and sat together, brothers and sisters, quite emotional. We don't know if this was his favourite tune or even rated but we all agreed it's the sort of thing he would have loved, as best we can guess. We do he was a Cream fan for more than 40 years. RIP Dad the last great generation of British people are leaving us.

Gxxxxxxx xx xxx I can guarantee you that this is one of his favorite songs. My deepest condolences on your devastating loss. I read this song was about the draft. You should check out Blind Faith. Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker are the guitarist and drummer here. Jack Bruce on bass and vocals. Unfortunately Ginger and Jack disliked each other so Cream broke up. You may have heard of Steve Winwood, he's a child prodigy and musical genius. I think you'll find great comfort in Sea of Joy, Can't Find My Way Home and Presence of The Lord. I'd bet your dad loved Do What You Like on the self titled album Blind Faith. I lost my mom 11/27/14, unexpectedly. It was the day after Thanksgiving. My dad followed her in March of 2016. The pain never goes away, I don't think. It does become tolerable. Best regards to your family.

Imagine your father, age 13, hearing this song for the first time and loving it. It is also highly likely that he or one of his friends bought the album and there was a listening party of their close buddies where every cut on the double album was played back to back. I hope that is a good (imaginary) memory.

I am wondering if your meme is from the Bayeux Tapestry.

I first heard this at a funeral for a 15yo kid who was one of those kids that all parents wish they could have. Beautiful November day in Iowa and 4 friends took one of their dad's pickups out for a joy ride. Two boys, 2 girls, and being the good kid, he let the girl next to him wear the seatbelt. They were on a gravel road, not hurting anyone, but I guess the boy driving lost control and rolled the truck in the ditch. That great kid was killed instantly because they had the windows open and without a seat belt, his head was crushed and he died instantly. I was less than 2 months away from having our second baby. This boy's mom was our babysitter. We'd had a fun day, bought some cheap bread, took our 2yo to a familiar small lake where the geese were tame enough that they would come and take bread from your hand. I had a series of pictures. My little boy took the piece of bread from dad, took a bite himself, then a goose came close and he held out the bread so the goose could chew off a bite, then he took another bite, and we still remember that day as if it was yesterday. We were back in town, sitting at DQ having ice cream cones when 2 ambulances went flying by with lights and sirens going, and we knew it was bad, but not how bad until an hour later when we got a call that we would have to get someone else to babysit. When my husband got off the phone and turned to me and told me what happened, I couldn't believe it. We went to their house where many others were already there. That kid's older brother picked out 2 of the songs for his funeral. This one and Somethin' to believe in by Poison. The funeral had to be held in the high school gym because there wasn't a church or any other place big enough to hold everyone. That was 1990 and it just never goes away.

This is the first I picked out of many, accompanied with my fifth of Jameson I am coping...thank you for your music Lily's...the sadness is white washed in melancholy shoe gaze that deserves recognition beyond "today's music". People don't listen to emotion anymore and it's a God damn travesty....I love that you calmed my soul even the slightest and I sincerely thank you from the bottom of what's left of my heart.

I will always remember My father was such a strong and cruel man. He used to listen to this so loud on those long trips to the lake. He always looked at me and would say never be like me but he was always so strong and mean. Later in life after living the same life I realized he actually wanted a good life for his kids but couldn’t do it because of all the bad stuff and it breaks my heart because he actually was a good man.

My brother and I were junkies doing the whole “idolizing heroin” shtick for years. I got clean and worried about him, crying each time I heard this. He finally passed away last June after his umpteenth overdose and I can barely listen to this now without bawling. He left behind a beautiful big eared pitcher of his own. Addiction is a bitch but the addicts in our lives are just loving, struggling people like you and me. Never give up on them, never support their habit, but never turn a cold shoulder either

I have loved this song for many years, and though I tried self-medicating, I found that all the dope in the world would not take away the horror a soldier is subjected. Worse, I remember as if it was yesterday that warm enveloping feeling of peace, quiet, and emotional security, rushing through my body, lying to me, telling everything will be alright, and too even worse is the memory of using calls to me even with over 16 years of sobriety. The music of John Prine in this song helps people understand the complexities and interaction of drugs and alcohol in a relationship, a family, and society. No Pain No Gain

When I was getting my drivers license I had to take the driving class at a nearby public school. When we drove up to the lawn I saw a most beautiful girl sitting on the green grass....her legs tucked up under her skirt. She was the kind of girl that is so beautiful ...it makes you sorry. Her name was...you guessed it...Joanne ... and I could not help it...I loved her. She used to meet me here and there ...never letting me see where she lived or meet any of her family. MAN I had it bad. Finally she walked me through the woods to an old house I had seen before...thinking it was empty. Crying she explained that she was a foster child...and had suddenly been told she had to leave...to where she did not know. Now at 62 I hear this gentle song and remember the girl...Joanne.

My grandma's name was Virginia and we called her Gramma Virgie. She passed away while I was in the ICU following open heart surgery. I was 17 and the only thing I could think or talk about back then was being a cattle rancher. She'd smile and tell me about granddad and his big herd.

Well, I've got my herd now and I'm raising show cattle on the farm she and granddad built together.

I must not have grieved properly when she passed because this came on one day while clipping for a show and I broke down sobbing in front of the college kids I have working for me. It was so cathartic.

Idk why I'm telling a bunch of strangers but this feels good too.

Tyler may be a wild mountain man, but he's a good boy.

One night my late husband and I were listening to music. He was singing this song to me. He asked me to make sure that this was played at his funeral when he passed. Because of circumstances, I wasn't able to play it. But, I did however have "I was singing this song for you" with music notes as quotes, put on his headstone. Needless to say, this song will always hold a place in my heart, and I always have the tissues handy when I listen to it. I am blessed that I had him in my life. Rest in peace Daniel R. Majewski.

I work as a garbage collector in those trucks where we are two or three people in each truck we work manually and I love my job. What scares me and worries me is that technology is advancing and someday by 2040 we will be replaced by advanced machines and we will lose our work since you use automatic trucks with cranes and only one person operates it and I sincerely hope not to lose my appreciated work for that, and I hope it is as always 2 men picking up trash by hand, I love my job, greetings from Oklahoma,

Sarah McLachlan - Hold On (live)

Sonja

This song makes me think of December 31, 2008. I was in the hospital having a baby I named Sarah who didn't make it. The next day I started chemotherapy for the cancer that took my daughter the day before. Not knowing if I'd live for my husband or my other children was scary. Thank God I'm still alive. So hearing this really touches a sensitive spot in my heart. Thanks Sarah for getting me through this.

I posted this on a different thread, a comment on Melanie/Edwin Hawkin's "Lay Down (Candles in the Rain)":

"It was 1971, I was 31 years old, a low almost suicidal point in my life after I got out of the service. I drove up to Topanga Canyon above Malibu and stopped at the Corral. A young lady asked me to play this song on the jukebox. We chatted and in the end she changed my life. Strange but true. Joanne McDonald...here's to you where ever you are!"

My older brother used to sing this song for me when I was going to sleep.He died of leukemia when he was 20 years old and I was just 3.Its about all I can remember of him and it still moves me to tears everytime I hear it.To this day I sing my girls to sleep at night to JT songs.One day they came in while I was watching an old JT vid on YouTube like this one and my younger daughter says “ Daddy,he’s singing your song”.I was floored and all I could think of to say was.....” bet you didn’t know you had a famous dad huh? “ They’ll figure it out someday but for now it’s how I keep my brothers memory alive.Thank you JT for all the years and the songs!

I recently came across a letter from my ex which she wrote many years ago, when we were still young. She told me how amazing she thought this song was. I can't remember ever having listened to it. So i thought i'd google it and indeed - this song seems pretty great.
Unfortunately, she left me last year, but I am glad she still was able to add something positive to my life by introducing this song to me, even though it wasn't on purpose. She really was the most beautiful, smart and caring woman I have ever met and I am sad I lost her. But life goes on, so now i should just be glad that at least I got to know this song because of our break-up. Thank you, Judith! <3

P.S. sorry for making you read a long and sad comment from a stranger :p you should go to the kitchen and get yourself a cookie as a reward for reading it (; Have a nice day! (:

Every time I play this song, I visualize me and my best friend, dining in a house, she has wore the red dress and we do exactly as the lyrics say. I cannot express how happy it makes me! I can only hope that I actually get to do it in reality with her because I'm just a best friend to her and atm she has no romantic feelings towards me.

I remember first hearing this song in the summer of 2001. I was 25 years old living in Portland OR, and it was one of the most awful years of my life. I Went through a really bad break-up with my then fiancé, the World Trade Center attacks, and my dead end job where I worked the graveyard shift was finally starting to get to me. I was going through a great deal of depression that year. This was one of the songs I listened to quite often that year, and believe it or not I get a great feeling of wonderful nostalgia hearing this today for the first time in probably 15+ years. Funny thing is, hearing this song reminded me of all the good times that I actually tried to make out of it all that year, which is why I actually find this song comforting.

Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"

Alden Charley
3 months ago
I lost my wife of almost 20 years to Cancer on 09/12/22.... When we first met I took her to a Queensryche concert in Albuquerque,NM. That was night we both really understand that we were soul mates I guess... And I held her when they started playing this song, and we were inseparable since than. It was early 2020 we found out she had Cancer and because of Covid it was hard to get into a hospital for treatment. Two years went by with very little medical visits till early 2022 and things took a turn for the worse and did my very best to be there for her as much as I could. I even quit my job just to take her to her Chemotherapy treatment and stuff. I could tell by her physical appearance that her body was getting frail but to me she is always that beautiful Navajo woman that I fell with regardless of her physical appearance. She left us ( our kids and I)! in the early morning hours of 09/12/22. And eversince than I would dream of her and till a month later she came to me once again in my dream and told me she is home and gonna go to sleep and eversince than I felt peace and Comfort. Rest easy my love Tawnya I love and miss you tremendously 😭

I had this cassette in Saudi during Desert Shield/Storm and would look at the stars at night hoping to make it home. Months later I made hope and turned on the tv and this song started to play. I cried. God was telling me I was home. Will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you Queensryche for the incredible memories.

My Dad passed away on Wednesday February 1, 2023. I'm proud to say he had amazing taste in music and because of that, he had a huge influence on my musical interests.
He loved this song. My love for Queensrÿche and my love for this song...I influenced him too.
I will miss you SO MUCH Pop. My heart is broken. I miss my morning phone call from you...especially your "My son!" after I said hello. You're no longer in pain or suffering. I love you Papasito. ❤️
