A song that reminds me of an event

49 years of marriage is a huge accomplishment, and there's no better way to spend it than with your family, no? Ok, so this anniversary wasn't in MY family per se, but I've spent a lot of time with them. IM TALKIN THE HUXTABLES PEOPLE.

When they celebrated the marriage of Cliff's parents in the BEST way possible I fell in love with Ray Charles.

Night time is the right time -- Ray Charles






AND the Huxtables version:

I'm embarrassed that I know this song and Im embarrassed that I used to know all of the words and sing them openly. I was a little bit nerdy in highschool, maybe a little weird. But this one takes me back to lunch time in the cafeteria with my friends being ridiculous without a care in the world, and quite simply not giving a shit what anyone thought about us.

I Am Cow -- By the Arrogant Worms. Lyrical genius' perhaps?

A song that reminds me of someone.

I kept trying to do this one backwards. I would think of someone and then try and associate a song with them. Then I finally told myself to stop and think of a time that I heard a song an immediately thought of a person.

My person is one of my closest friends, Rochelle, and her song is Sway by Bic Runga. I remember when she bought the CD that had this song on it, she had heard it at Red Lobster where she worked at the time, although it's also on the American Pie soundtrack also, and played it ALL the time. Thank goodness it's a really great song. AND when I need a Rochelle fix, I just hit play.

Today's song is brought to you by days where you just want to stay in bed and mope around in a robe.

I had a friend die of cancer months after I had graduated high school. In fact he was my first boyfriend (in kindergarten) and I had known him since preschool, therefore I also knew his siblings. Every time there is a birthday or some sort of important event she (his sister) tends to reference this song, so now I just associate this with him and in return get a little sad.

So here it is. Jimmy Eat World -- Hear You Me.

Day Three: A song that makes you happy.

It's so easy for a song to make me happy. This song is one of my favorites to belt out in the shower, therefore there is so much happy to be had. Also it's one of my favorite covers, the second being The Fray's cover of that Kanye West song "Heartless."

My Least Favorite Song.

I don't like it when a big artist tries to come up with an anthem for a tragic event. I think it's a waste of time, and shallow. It's even worse if the song is terrible.

Kitschy & annoying, my least favorite song? DRUM ROLL PLEASE... Bon Jovi's "Who Says You Can't Go Home"

I cringed when I embedded the video, just so you know.

April song challenge starts today, and I see it popping up on the ole FB too, hopefully you still respect me after this.

Day 1: My favorite.

It was hard to choose my ALL TIME FAVORITE SONG EVER, so I just picked my current favorite song that I can't stop listening to.

Iron & Wine -- Carousel
