I'm gonna start with my all time favorite song... Think of Laura by Christopher Cross.
Cross allowed ABC to use his song in this context; however, he has
stated that he wrote "Think of Laura" to mourn the death of Denison
University college student Laura Carter who was killed tragically when
she was struck by a stray bullet fired over a block away, during an
altercation between four men.
Carter, a lacrosse player from Wayne, Pennsylvania, was sitting in
the back seat of a car, being driven by her father, who with his wife,
was visiting their daughter for the college's annual homecoming
weekend. They planned to take her and two friends to dinner in
Columbus, having just watched them compete in a lacrosse match.
Cross had come to meet Laura through her college roommate Paige,
whom Cross was dating at the time. Paige was pictured on the inner
sleeve of the "Another Page" album, sitting on a stool. Cross wrote the
song as a way of offering comfort to Paige, and honoring Carter's
memory.
"Think of Laura" has a relatively straightforward arrangement, with
the singer's vocals and a piano accompaniment. The lyrics express the
sorrow felt by those who knew the woman but ask that she be remembered
with happiness: When you think of Laura, laugh, don't cry / I know she'd want it that way.
