My Song Game

I am a little bored today, even though it is just my first day after finishing my first semester of grad school. I have a lot on my mind but really don't feel like thinking about it. Sometimes, I like to listen to music on my iPod and write down what the songs make me think of. It's amazing how sounds can take you back to a certain place, a certain time, or a certain person, without even really thinking about it. I thought this would be a fun activity for tonight, so here goes. BTW, love the variety-

1. Ghost-by Eastmountainsouth. One of my favorite groups, even though they broke up. Maybe the irony is that AW and I discovered this group, and now, she seems to be just a ghost- one I can't seem to forget no matter how hard I try.

2. Square Dance-by Eminem. Let's see...pretty much nothing there. Well, I remember getting this album and feeling rebellious and angry while listening to it in my SUV in high school.

3. I Should Have Told You-by Fuel. I loved listening to this album while pulling POS every morning at work (the swoosh). It became my morning routine, and I loved that predictability.

4. Rockstar-by Nickelback. I remember liking this song before anyone ever heard it on the radio.

5. Greedy Fly-by Bush. I obtained this album from AJ's collection, after she died. As I listen to it, I wonder what went through her sad and hopeless thoughts and mind. How have my thoughts compared with hers?

6. Bulletproof Weeks-by Matt Nathanson. Love it- Love the raw strokes of the acoustic guitar. Someday I would love to have a man who would sing to me like Matt, and hang around for the rest of my life. "What happened to that?"

7. Dead Wrong-by The Fray. Album of the trip, NYC '06! Loved listening to it every day on the Metro, on the way to the park.

8. What I Want-by Daughtry. Love Chris, and was loyal to him on American Idol! Ha. What I want and what I need...

9. Strange Love-by Goo Goo Dolls. This guy's voice is so weird! This was definitely a down moment in the exciting concert at the ampitheater that Frank and I went to--instead of Doug and I. Odd...

10. Come On Get Higher-by Matt Nathanson. Oh Matt. My favorite song of his so far. The love-making song!!

11. Because You Loved Me-by Celine Dion. Back when my mom and I THOUGHT we were close, I recorded myself singing this to her for Mother's Day. She cried, of course. Oh cassette tapes.

12. Take Hold-by Shawn McDonald. Memories of Georgia State BSU- Is that when I bought this album? I don't remember. I think I discovered Shawn from AR's myspace. Random.

13. History-by Bush. Out of 1000 songs, you'd think it wouldn't be very likely that songs from the same album would come up this close together! ANyway, I think this CD came out when I was in the 6th grade, when Jeremy was my "boyfriend"-he loved Bush and electric guitars.

14. O Praise Him-by David Crowder. Passion 05 in Nashville. AW got me to go. It was amazing. I loved the music, the speakers. My fave was Beth Moore. Worshipping with like 40,000 other college students in an arena the size of Phillip's was awesome. Going to NPCC reminds me of that concert almost every time, and I love it.

15. Points of Authority-by Linkin Park. For some reason, this reminds of me of 2 very different people- Nick and working at G's, and Martha and riding in her Honda b/c she was the first to get her license!

Ok that was fun for a while. Here's to the favorite artist of the night, Matt Nathanson. Get it, Matt!
