Forrest Gump
Time.
Moments in time.
Vivid recollections of the moments that impacted our lives.
Where we were when John Kennedy was shot.
When the first man walked on the moon.
The never-ending shadow of the war in Vietnam.
And with all the images and the feelings,
there is always the music.
The song we played when we fell in love for the first time.
When we fell out of love.
And when we fell in love again.
The movie "Forrest Gump" is about time.
A simple man's journey through complicated times.
The coming-of-age of a generation and a country.
And at the heart of the story is the music.
Music that lives with us,
always there to remind us of the people, the places,
and the events of our times.
The music of "Forrest Gump" is as vital as any character --
it is a character -- complex and exhilarating,
humorous and heartbreaking,the essence of what we once were and will always be.
Here are thirty-two songs that helped define us.
Thrity-two songs,from so many,
that will always be part of our history.
