Highlights from the soundtrack of my life.
My car was involved in a car accident (I wasn’t driving it); it is still n the body shop. I’ve been listening to this song because Sean’s birthday is tomorrow. He’ll be 14. I used to sing this song to him when he was a baby…
“Beautiful Boy”. John Lennon
I’ve been missing listening to some U2 so I also listen to this one:
“Stuck in a Moment“. U2
I forgot about this song until last weekend. I was first introduced to it like 12 years ago. I saw a drumline perform this song about 8 or 9 years ago. I HAD to post this one when it was STILL October…
“Moondance” Van Morrison
My car dealership ordered me another radio so I’m STILL riding in silence! I have listened to random Gavin Degraw tunes though. If I had to pick my top 5 Gavin tunes, it would be:
5. “Follow Through” The reason I started loving Gavin… The movie Laws of Attraction, Pierce Brosnan, Julianne Moore, IRELAND!
4. “Fire” Saw this one used in an NFL advertisement.
3. “Medicate the Kids” It didn’t get radio play but it goes along with why I believe in NOT medicating.
2. “Crush” When I first realized that I had a crush on Gavin.
1. “You Know Where I’m At” LOVE it!
*** I have also been listening to this song before I fall asleep. Reminds me of my Dad. I cry.
“Only the Strong Survive” Jerry Butler
The radio in my car is STILL not fixed. I’ve started back to work so I am EXHAUSTED when I go to sleep. I pray a lot when I’m falling asleep or think about what needs to be done at work the next day. Occasionally, I will listen to some Sheryl Crow as I fall asleep.
“I Shall Believe” Sheryl Crow
“No One Said It Would Be Easy” Sheryl Crow
So, summer has been a little bit rough for me. The radio in my car broke. I haven’t taken my car to Les Stanford to get it fixed. Since it has been SO warm, I haven’t driven anywhere much anyway. So unfortunately, I haven’t heard any new music. I listen to A LOT of U2 live on my phone or iPad because I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Bono and I really dig live music!!!
I scroll through previous posts in my “Tunes” category also. When I wait in the car for whatever reason, I pull up one of these 2 songs. I listen to them before I go to sleep sometimes. They DEFINITELY are some throwback tunes but I STILL dig ’em… A LOT! So they aren’t new, but these two are my faves this month.
