A Song That Makes Me Sad

Well this sure requires some thought... but I'm really thinking about cheating and combining blog 4 and 5, since the song that most sticks out in my head for making me sad also reminds me of someone. I first heard Avril Lavigne's second album, Under My Skin, soon after it was released, in 2004. I didn't really have a mental grasp of what did or didn't make song lyrics 'good' at that point, but I always related this song to death. So, when my grandma died in 2005 (Sunday, Dec 4 to be exact) this was basically turned into the song I wanted to listen to when I wanted to remember her... thus making me sad.

Avril Lavigne - Slipped Away

A Song That Makes Me Happy

One of the first songs I can ever remember giving me chills all through my body is Coldplay's Strawberry Swing. I remember the first time I put this song on a CD I was getting ready to go visit my family at the farm all by my self, on the train. It's one of the few songs I genuinely like listening to on a volume that is far too loud for its own good. But to talk about the song itself for just a sec, I must say the background music just sounds really uplifting and the lyrics are pretty cheery, too. ("Now the skies could be blue, could be gray, I don't mind")

PS. I need to figure out how to embed videos directly into these things...

Least Favorite Song...

Okay...so this is actually pretty tough, because I don't really pay attention to songs I don't like. But a quick look back to when I heard radio on the way to and from school made me remember one song in particular... Every day for 10 days straight (Mon-Fri twice) I heard "Pocket Full of Sunshine" by Natasha Bedingfield at least once (yes, sometimes twice.) Although the lyrics aren't necessarily bad, the constant repetition of, like the only two stanzas that actually make up the whole song get pretty old really fast. I won't even grace this song with a link...

My Favorite Song

I think my favorite song changes from week to week. There are some days it seems like all I want to do is listen to one song, while other days I don't even want to hear it. Sometimes I find myself saying "It will be a sad day when this song doesn't make it on a playlist" then a week later I rule it out since I hate having more than 36 songs on my Winamp play list because then you have to scroll down to see the last one... But through all that, I still must say that this song always always always finds it's way back to the top of the play list even though I alphabetize this list at the beginning of each day.

Versant - Push Away

Versant has a way of making their music sound so full and energetic, I just love it. Not to mention Carah's voice sounds like magic.

Just to keep track
