Songs that bring back unhappy memories

I always really knew that my ex had 'other women' but once I found a record he had bought for one of them with a yucky message attached. It was John Denver 'Annie's Song'. That was bad enough but it was the type of music he would have been highly critical of if I had liked it. He was into jazz and Big Band music.

As an ex (and now dead) I am well over him but when I hear that song I can only think, 'You foul up my senses!' Poor John Denver. It wasn't his fault!

We were driving back from doing the family shopping and my husband (now ex) decided to inform me that he was in love with someone else and was leaving me. The song 'I love you because ' (by Jim Reeves) was playing on the Radio at that exact time. I have hated that song ever since.

Art Garfunkel singing Bright Eyes. It was on the car radio when we arrived home from work to find our cat lying dead in the back yard. It was many years ago, in 1980, and although I love the recording, hearing it always brings Patch back to mind, and tears to my eyes.

Many years ago my now ex-husband waited until we were in a cafe at a garden centre of all places (presumably so I wouldn't make a scene) to announce he'd met someone else and wanted a divorce. The shock was unbelievable. We sat there in silence while the world went on around us. I have never forgotten the music that was playing in the cafe. It was Bonnie Rait - Can't make you love me if you don't.
How appropriate. I've always hated that song, and even now whenever I hear it, it fills me with pain and despair.
Anyone else have the same feelings when they hear a certain song ?
