Music has always been a big part of my life.
I remember cruising in my Dad's CJ5 when I was younger, him singing along to Phil Collins. I can remember getting my first Guns N Roses tape and wearing it out on my tape player when I was in elementary school. There were dances in middle school, prom in high school. Breaking up, making up, having fun with friends.
All memories have songs that mark periods in my life.
Hearing the Dixie Chicks "I can love you better" takes me back to my junior year and sneaking out of school in my best friend Sara's trunk. Sublime's "Summertime" constantly reminds me of the summer I started dating my husband. The Highwaymen CD reminds me of Mr. Me and I's trip to Charleston a year after we were married. Or Bob Marley, any Bob Marley immediately reminds me of our birthday trip Key West.
For awhile, I didn't listen to music as much I as use to. Opting to drive my husband crazy with the sound of my voice when we traveled. But lately, now that Roo loves to groove to the music, it's on constantly in my house. Forget cartoons, we want to jam to the Beatles or sing along with Jack Johnson.
And if you asked me to pick just one song that would be considered my favorite... I doubt I could. So many songs have a place in my heart. Our wedding song, my drive fast song, my relaxing song, my lullaby, there's so many to choose from.
Maybe you can do better, what's your fave?

I can't choose. I have so many favorites. And I'm the same way with songs tied to memories. I posted about that very thing earlier this week.
Most definetely cannot just pick one!! too hard! But my fav new album is on repeat in my car, the fray. I cant stop listening to it!
I'm like you... too many favorites...
I couldnt even make one playlist of songs... have songs from my teen years - Christian songs - dance songs - Rockin' out songs... too many good ones out there!
I'm like you--I have a song for differnt moments. When we were dating it was "If you could see the way she loves me," "Melt" and "Game of Love." Our wedding songs were "Love and Happiness and "Nothing on but the radio." And there's so many more...
I am the same way about music. Certain songs mark periods in my life. I can remember exactly what I was doing when listening to certain songs. I love music, more the lyrics, I guess. I couldn't pick a favorite song, I have too many.
