Time Travel



The year was 1986 and I was a sophomore in High School. Madonna was heading toward the pinnacle of her career. While "True Blue" is not one of her more popular songs, no matter where I am, no matter what I'm doing, "True Blue" will take me back to the glorious decade of the 1980s.

The other day I was driving home from Lady Miss T's house and had this on my car CD player. I had to listen to the song about 10 times and it was just like I fell through a time portal and was 16 all over again. What song takes you back to the selfish me generation (given you were a high school or college student at the time)?

"True Blue"

I've had other guys
I've looked into their eyes
But I never knew love before
'Til you walked through my door
I've had other lips
I've sailed a thousand ships
But no matter where I go
You're the one for me baby this I know, 'cause it's

[Chorus:]
True love
You're the one I'm dreaming of
Your heart fits me like a glove
And I'm gonna be true blue baby I love you

I've heard all the lines
I've cried oh so many times
Those tear drops they won't fall again
I'm so excited 'cause you're my best friend
So if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

[chorus twice]

[Intermediate:]

No more sadness, I kiss it good-bye
The sun is bursting right out of the sky
I searched the whole world for someone like you
Don't you know, don't you know that it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
[repeat]

True, so if you should ever doubt
Wonder what love is all about
Just think back and remember dear
Those words whispered in your ear, I said

[intermediate]
[chorus]

'Cause it's

True love, oh baby, true love, oh baby
True love, oh baby, true love it's
[repeat]
