I've been gettin bored with my usual playlist, so I've been listening to the "classics" lately, and all these old memories came back.
*Carrie Underwood's first CD makes me flashback to driving home from my evening shift at TCBY in the summer at midnight. I was convinced "Don't Forget to Remember Me" was written for me, as we were about to graduate.
*"Ain't No Mountain High Enough"-we had some of the best rock-out sessions-ever on the school bus heading to our basketball games with Alli and Shelby. We had some serious belting skills. I think our coach went absolutely crazy, but we had fun!
*"Earl Had to Die" by Dixie Chicks makes me think of the amazing girl party we had at Whitney's where we sang it till we were blue in the face. I will always love that song.
*"You Drive Me Crazy" by Britney Spears-oh, the countless hours we spent learning the dance from Daren's Dance Grooves the DVD. I bet I could still do it.
*"Why Not?" by Hilary Duff makes me think of driving crazy with the windows down leaving soccer practice and thinking life couldn't get any better. Ahhh, best song ever.
*B-Witched CD: How many dances did my sisters and I make up to this one? I don't even know, but I remember the moves every time I hear the songs!
*"I Need a Hero": Andrea and I made up the most amazingly ridiculous dance to this song, complete with silver, flashy Elvis costumes. We performed it at the school talent show and later at the ward talent show. Our hair was bigger than I ever thought possible and the makeup was just scary. Too bad I don't have the picture on this computer. Girl-do you still have those outfits? I think we should have a reunion of the amazingness!
*"Hey Juliet"-the classic rock out song in my car. Levi and I knew all the words and could bust it out like it was nobody's business. Amazing. I think I should quit school and follow my true passion and become a professional karaoke singer! :)
*"When You Say Nothing at All"-my friend Scott telling me that this was the most mean song ever. Quote, "She's just saying she wants him to shut up! Harsh!" I love the song and try to block that comment out of my mind.
*All Taylor Swift songs remind me of when Landon and I were dating. He gave me her first CD for my birthday, and I listened to it CONSTANTLY.
"I Hope You Dance"-I sang the song and my brother played it on the guitar in the back of a truck that pulled up in front of Samantha's house, so he could ask her to homecoming. It was precious.
*"On My Own" from Les Mis was my first big solo. I had sung solos when I was little, but I sang this in front of my entire middle school in the 7th grade. I was shaking so bad it was ridiculous, but I somehow survived. I get butterflies just thinking about it.
*"Barbie Girl"-one incredible music video made by the lovely ladies in my freshman dorm at 3AM. Priceless.
*"Everytime We Touch"-late night dance parties that changed my life forever-both freshman and sophomore year. You can't help but jump up and down when you hear that song.
Music makes me happy. Thanks for letting me reminisce.
Straight hair: Feeling like I should spice up my life and had a little extra time in the morning. I always have to prepare for a straight hair day, cause it takes a good while, and my hand is always sore afterward. The good news is that it also means I don't have to wash it the next day, so I think of it as an investment! :)
