Mixtapes and Memories - Tuesday Topics

via

Music is my life's soul brought out into the world. I love music so much and most of the time it relates to my life in one way or another. I have said in the past that my brain is 70% song lyrics and the rest is filed away neatly in the other 30%. So when this weeks Tuesday Topics came about I really had to think about which five songs bring back the most memories.

#1. Chantal Kreviazuk - Feels Like Home
The first time I heard this D and I went out on a date to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. We fell in love with song and it has been "our" song ever since....it was our first dance song at our wedding and every month or so we play it loud and slow dance to it!



2 Smashing Pumpkins - 1979
It is my quintessential jr. high/high school song. I don't remember when I bought it, but it was the very first cd that I bought with my own money. Double album of rock greatness "Melancholy and the Infinite Sadness." I can listen to this song over and over and will not get old. The beat and the lyrics are just all around perfect!



#3 Billy Rae Cyrus - Achy Breaky Heart
Please don't judge me for this song. My mom had this tape (yes tape) and we played this song over and OVER every time we were in the car singing the lyrics loud and proud for all the other drivers to hear. We didn't care and did it with many other songs. This one is the funniest one though. I still sing loud and proud in the car for ALL to hear!



#4 Grease Soundtrack - Summer Nights
This is D's and my go to karaoke song. He knows every word to this song!!!! Probably because it's his mom's favorite movie. It's always fun for us to sing this as the example pictured below!

#5 Legally Blonde Soundtrack - Hoku "It's a Perfect Day"
If you remember back in April when I wrote this post about my best friend from high school. I talked about him falling asleep on his dvd remote and having to listen to the Legally Blonde intro song over and over for hours! This is that song! Good song, but not over and over!


There you have it. Five songs that bring back some really great memories for me. I hope you all love music as much as I do and these songs can make memories for you too!
