30 Day Challenge :: Maybe cos I come from such an empty hearted town

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 30 :: Your Favorite Song at This Time Last Year Time tends to blur and blend sometimes for me, and the music I listen to is various and near endless, words like favorite, despite that being the purpose of these challenges, are hard on me. That said, peering through a playlist I made for myself this week last year Dawes is certainly bright, shiny, front and center. If I recall correctly, it was around this time last year that I was discovering their music, and getting obsessed with this song. It is in my top three … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: Maybe cos I come from such an empty hearted town

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 29 :: A Song From Your Childhood Music was a huge part of my childhood, thanks mostly to my Mom who had music playing nearly all the time, and who would take me along to the record store anytime either of us needed cheering up. Her love of music was contagious, and I cannot remember, at all, a time when I did not love music. There are so many songs I could choose for this, but for today I am going with the first one that came to mind. The first time I recall hearing … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: Thinkin’ of you’s workin’ up my appetite

30 Day Challenge :: Angels fall like rain

lyriquediscorde

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 28 :: A Song That Makes You Feel Guilty Not so much guilty, as regretful, I suppose. It is a song that reminds me of a lost chance and a poor choice, a misstep and a missed opportunity, the proverbial “one that got away” that is so often a plot device, or stereotype, but no matter, when it happens to you it can hurt like hell. The memory, and the “could have been”, it is like a ghost that lives within you for always. The memory never fades away, no matter how I have let … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: Angels fall like rain

30 Day Challenge :: But still they lead me back

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 26 :: A Song That You Can Play On An Instrument I used to play piano. I write “used to” as it has literally been since the pre-pubescent years since I have honestly sat in front of a piano and played. The last time I can vividly remember playing piano I was 12 years old and at a slumber party. We were all hanging out in a family room/den kind of room and there was a piano in the corner. We took turns messing around with it, and I was the only one who knew how … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: But still they lead me back

30 Day Challenge :: The clinky noise

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 25 :: A Song That Makes You Laugh My husband is a huge fan and rabid connoisseur of all things parody, he even wrote and sold a song to Weird Al, an ode to Craigslist set to a Jim Morrison/Doors medley. Now, I will admit, that I am not all that knowledgeable on parody, nor am I a huge fan, but over the last three plus years of being together I have certainly grown some appreciation for it, and there are some parody songs that not only stick in my head for a very long … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: The clinky noise

30 Day Challenge :: This life

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 24 :: A Song That You Want To Play At Your Funeral I had a friend once who always said she would want this song to play at her wedding, that she loved the idea of it playing as she walked up the aisle. To me, though, I find it more fitting for a funeral, not that I am really one for such a gathering, but if I had to choose a song to play at mine I think this one is it. The song is bittersweet (no pun intended) and both full of naive … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: This life

30 Day Challenge :: I’m getting a little bit of everything

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 22 :: A Song That You Want To Play At Your Wedding We did not have a traditional wedding. We had a Las Vegas style ceremony with some of his family in attendance, and some of my family watching via the internet. We had planned on having a reception, but money issues have put that on-hold. Perhaps we will have a one-year anniversary/reception next year. That said, there was a song that for me is forever tied with my proposing to my now husband which led to us having our wedding, so that would be the … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: I’m getting a little bit of everything

30 Day Challenge :: Once again

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 21 :: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Sad Back when we first met, when things were full of life and promises of forever love and breathless lust, back when we were long distance, you on one coast, and me on the other, we would play music to each other, through the phone lines, until one or both of us fell asleep. When we saw each other again, that first night together again, we dragged that boom box radio/tape player and played this album while we sat out on the motel balcony, Florida … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: Once again

30 Day Challenge :: She’s in love with the world

lyriquediscorde

30-Day Song Challenge :: Day 20 :: A Song That You Listen To When You’re Happy It feels like falling in love in that first time, naïve, spinning out fluttery stomach kind of way. It feels like secret kisses in the backseat while your soon-to-be ex-boyfriend is in the front seat. It feels like jumping up and down on the bed, screaming and singing, then falling down laughing. It feels like games of spin-the-bottle and truth or dare, like drinking game confessions. It feels fun, and I like to play it loud when I am full of happy thoughts and feelings. … Continue reading 30 Day Challenge :: She’s in love with the world
