I'll Be Missin You

"Thinking of the day when you went away," some of the lyrics from the song by P. Diddy who made the song in memory of the Notorious B.I.G. When I first heard this song I was pretty young and couldn't remember all the lyrics to many songs but for some reason this song reminisced in my mind and I learned all the lyrics. I didn't just remember the chorus, I remembered the raps in it, too and still know the whole song by heart. This song isn't one that I have to analyze like the rest of the songs on my list, but it's just a song thats close to my heart and at the moment it mirrors my life and I wanted to write about it.
The song still holds memories and now I can attach new thoughts to it and it now holds more meaning for me then it ever has. There are lots of songs out there that are about remembering and mourning but just listen to this song and it'll become a new favorite. For me, this song really stands out and is deeper than just a song written to make money off of. It was written by true friends who had to deal with the reality of losing a very close friend. A friend that had been like family, that had stuck by them through everything and even through all of thier mistakes and triumphs still had their back. This song can be played even 50 years from now and it will still have meaning for anyone who has ever lost a loved one, or is even just missing someone they had been close to. It's not one of those songs that are just played at clubs or only for a couple of months and then forgotten, it's a song that can be played any time and it will still be a hit.
