There are days when certain songs I've buried in the caverns of my mind come roaring back, bringing with them vivid memories of friendships that will always be but will never grow beyond what they were. This Paul Westerberg-penned tune reminds me of someone who was more than a friend, much more a brother, the anniversary (Sixteenth? Seventeenth) of whose death approaches quickly...But like a spell, I hear this and I always believe Chris will come pounding on my door, shouting for me to get up and DO SOMETHING!

I'm asking for you to dig deep this evening and to give us the songs that remind you of those friends you won't- or probably won't- hear from again.

Can you help us out?
