A blog rip off

Okay so I will steal from my bestest buddy and give my answers to be made fun of...ha ha ha!!! This is really hard to answer since music is such a part of my life. I will do my best.

One song... from your early childhood: "Brown Eyed Girl" by Van Morrison. But my Dad was a huge Beatles fan so I can't imagine any other music playing during my early childhood but that.

One song you are associating with your first big love: "Drowning Man" by U2...lost my virginity to it in a basement while his parents were at the Notre Dame game...won't name names.

One song which reminds you of one of your holidays: "Grown-up Christmas List" by anyone really. Michael Buble did a great cover to this!!

One song you like but you have got problems confessing to: "I believe I can Fly" by R.Kelley. I love that song and sing it really loud!! They played it at Julie's dad's funeral....it is what got him through cancer. But R.Kelley has such a bad rep...I really don't tell anyone.

One song which accompanied you, while you where lovesick: "How's it Going to Be" by Third Eye Blind

One song you listened to most often in your life: this is a tough one.....I have listened to alot of U2 songs but when I sit down at the puter...I always start with "New York State of Mind" by Billy Joel. As for U2 it would be "I will Follow"

One song which is your favorite instrumental: I am not sure if this would be instrumental...or jazz but I like "My funny Valentine" by Chris Botti....was 2 feet from him when he played this and I felt it in my toes...but it coulda been the champagne

One song which represents one of you favorite bands: I know it is recent by "Beautiful Day" by U2....they are God's in my eyes and this song rocks and shows their stay power

One song in which you recognize yourself or through which you feel somehow understood: "Where you Lead I will Follow" by Carole King and Louise Goffin. This is actually the theme to the Gilmore Girls and Meg plays it all the time and really if you listen to the lyrics it is me and Meg. We sing this at the top of our lungs all the time.

One song which reminds you to a certain occasion (and the occasion): "Sweet Home Chicago" played by my wedding band at my wedding....dancing with Aim, Juls, Meg and my dad at my wedding. I think that really opened a different side of me to my friends here in Oklahoma.

One song which is the best for you to relax to: "High" by James Blunt or "Fix You" by Coldplay

One song which symbolizes a great time in your life: "I Love Rock N Roll" by Joan Jett and the Blackhearts....the best singing in the radiator song EVER!! Brings me back to my youth and innocence everytime I hear it.

One song which you would dedicate to your best friend: "Hold you in my Arms" by Ray LaMontagne or "Now and Always" by David Gray

One song where you have got the feeling that no one besides you likes it: "The Way you Make me Feel" by Michael Jackson

One song you like because of its lyrics: "40" by U2 it is actually written from psalm 40 from the bible and I think it means a lot to me. Definately play this or speak this at my funeral....just 40.1 to 40.3. Also "Comfortable" by John Mayer....really great song to get someone to sing to you :)

I know that alot of these have 2 songs but really I can't just dedicate 1 song to the questions...since I really feel like I have had 2 lives. My Chicago life and now my Oklahoma life. So there you have it in a nutshell. My life in songs. Thanks Jimmy for the steal.

Man, any time somebody puts me on the spot to name songs, artists, and dates my mind goes completely blank. I tend to associate my music with movie soundtracks, I guess, and one of my faves is that of Forrest Gump; I love the mix of songs on that one. Songs like "I Hope You Dance" and "Butterfly Kisses" have a whole new meaning with parenthood, especially with two girls. The song that can always make me cry since I first heard it in college?? "Love,Me" by Colin Ray (?). Makes me think about bonds that cannot be broken.
BTW, picked up the rings yesterday and they look great, although the hubby already thinks we could have gone larger. He's silly sometimes.....
