Oh I Didn't See You There... ;)
I've decided to try to start blogging songs again, and the memories I associate them with.
To begin, i'll use the song that made me want to do this all over again.
Drops of Jupiter - Train - Although I know my sister first showed me this song, it always reminds me of this roller skating party that my old middle school used to host. (They thought dances were only appropriate for 7th grade and up) This was 5th grade, and I was chilling with my friend and really wanted to request this song (it had just come out). Unrelated, but same event, watching the guy I liked a lottt in 4th grade dancing with someone else. my question: why why why did they have couples skate? sigh. haha It was kind dumb, cause I did like someone else. but I guess when you're that young feelings are stronger and less complicated. I miss those days. I haven't liked someone that much since 5th grade, is that sad?
What A Wicked Gang Are We - Streetlight Manifesto - First time I heard about this band was from my awesome friend Lindsey, we were on a bus to a debate competition our freshmen year (she still had a CD player :D). and she told me if she ever met a guy who knew about that band she would marry them, coincidently that day we met someone... she never married him. :( this band was also how I got her to come with me to Warped Tour '09 cause they were playing. I was at the time in loveeee with brass instruments, thus I fell in love, who knew!
Sway - The Kooks - This is the first time i'm listening to this song, but my story with this band... I went to a concert with my friend Clara and this band Jet Lag Gemini was playing (I absolutely love them now), but we really went to go see LUDO!! But this guitarist, vlad was absolutely beautiful and amazing and I like went all fan girl, so I made it my facebook status, and friended him on facebook for fun, and he liked my status which was a small win haha. but basically at some point I chatted him on facebook, and he introduced me to the kooks.
War Is A Science - Pippin - So my brother was in the pit orchestra for this musical, and he tried showing me the music one day, but I didnt like it. He told me it makes a lot more sense when you watch the show. I went with my parents to watch and fell in love with the show (and music), I even printed out all the lyrics and made a little book out of it. Then a few years later I got to go see this song at the Goodspeed Opera with Meg cause we both loved the show so much/they had an extra ticket.
I Don't Wanna Be - Gavin DeGraw - For some reason a tv commercial comes to my head, i have no idea why. I really like this song though, gavin degraw has some winners
Such Great Heights - The Postal Service - My first friend after I moved, jules, gave me this song. Well she didn't give it to me right when I moved but i thought that was an interesting fact. We finally decided around senior year or so of highschool that we needed to hang out again, and she gave me two cd's worth of music. one was called "tasty nugget", and the other "lobster bandit"
All for now :)
