Once again, I needed to narrow down my selection to one song. I did so by picking a song that doesn't have any other emotional/memory connection than to a singular event.

That combo is Suzanne Vega's "In Liverpool" and my leaving a music festival in the Tri-cities area of NE Tennessee (Johnson City, Bristol, and Kingsport). Kerri Freeze had invited me up and we were staying with some of her relatives. 99.9 F Degrees was a favorite album of mine at the time and I vividly recall belting along with this song as we wove our way through the hills and woods as we left the park that night. It is impossible for me to hear or think of "In Liverpool" and not think about that night and that weekend.

Chorus:
"And the boy in the belfry
He's crazy, he's throwing himself
Down from the top of the tower
Like a hunchback in heaven
He's ringing the bells in the church
For the last half an hour
He sounds like he's missing something
Or someone that he knows he can't
Have now and if he isn't
I certainly am"
