"I Want You" - Savage Garden
When I was little, my parents were really really close friends with another military family. My brothers and I were the same age as their kids. It was like instant best friends. One weekend they came to visit and we had a yard sale. The whole time, we were outside listening to Savage Garden on a tape and playing with all of the stuff set out for sale. Basically, this song reminds me of all of the awesome memories I have with that amazing family.
"Snap Yo Fingers" - Lil Jon (Clean version)
This song was the song that changed my life. A little dramatic? Eh, so be it. In high school I showed up super reserved and quiet. When I heard this song, I couldn't stop from snappin' my fingahs. My inner thug came out and I became more open with dancing and with everything pretty much. I owe my awkward outgoing-ish personality to this song. To this day, people still quote some Lil Jon lyrics in my honor.
"For Good" - Wicked Soundtrack
This song is dedicated to few of my friends. Friends that I have loved and lost. Friends that always have a spot in my heart. One friend I didn't lose completely. She is one of my very best friends. No matter the distance, she's always there. We always pick right back up where we left off. We sang this song together for an audition and I couldn't ask for a better partner. I miss you, friend. And to those that I have loved and lost, I am very fond of the memories we share. Thank you.
"Testify to Love" - Avalon
More often than not I have this song stuck in my head. But who's complaining? I grew up listening to this song. The summer before my freshman year of high school Avalon came to our county fair. And the show was FREE! Holy crap. I about had a heart attack. I got into the fair for free for having some of my homemade jam in a contest. So, I went with my 4H friend to the fair. We caught the band checking out the rabbit tent and long story short I had a wicked bruise from tripping over the bleachers trying to follow them. One of the best days ever.
Austin Powers Theme Song
I went on a cruise with amazing people. As our parents were out doing adult things on the ship, the six or so of us kids were doing super fun things. Like attending an Austin Powers dance class. Best. Class. Ever. Only three of us were brave enough to get onstage to get groovy, baby. I was among those three. And boy, did I get groovy! Every time I hear or see Austin Powers in any way, I think of this song and the bonding of awesome dancing.
"Hey, Soul Sister" - Train
One hot summer night, driving home from a YSA soccer activity with Nick, we were rocking out to the radio. We were best friends. I knew at this point that I loved him. All I wanted was to be with him. This song came on the radio and he started singing and dancing his heart out. Something magical happened. I was in the passenger seat, laughing and watching him. Feeling my love for him grow more and more by the second. He glanced over and I could see it in his eyes that he felt the same way. I knew he loved me.
I have a lot more songs and memories that I could share with you, but I think that's a good note to leave on. =) So, while I am basking in my love, tell me some songs that you hold dear. I would love to listen!
Until next time, friends.
Au revior. <3
