"There goes my life"~some country singer(mind blank): It was playing on the radio the night Brad and I drove home from the drug store to take a preggo test to then find out Laila was coming. Very fitting...I was in denial about it until this song came on.

nice!
i too will have to think of mine... music does this to me too... it's so tied into moments in my life.
shalisa, lately "better man" makes me think of my mom. but i only connected that in the last year or two. and mostly just b/c of the lyrics.
when i was younger music became a soundtrack to video games... i'm going to really have to think about this one!
oh man Shalisa..I forgot about the song closing time..it just reminded me of something really funny:)
This is so funny becuase the other day I was in the car and a Lifehouse song came on and I felt like i could be back in highschool. Tons of songs bring music back for me. Josh Groben and Tim Mcgraw remind me of my husband and a million other songs. "Please forgive me" by Brian Adams reminds me of Tyler thornbrue. "Silence is Golden" remindsme of my sister and this one christmas song. we thought they were both weird songs so we sang them all the time. My baby got sauce reminds me of some of my college roomies becuase we would listen while we cleaned our apartment. If I ever hear anything by hanson I tell Tyler "Oh my gosh my freind Liz was totally obsessed with them"- then he says "Iknow you told me" I could go on and on but it is fun when a song sparks a memory.
Heres mine. They are mostly whole cd's.
New Kids on the Block - anything by them
Shine - Newsboys
Everything I do, I do it for you- Brian Adams (1st song I slow danced with a boy)
Jars of Clay - their 1st cd. Flood?
I'll be missing you - Puff Daddy (I think) This song will always remind me of the summer Kendall and I hung out every single day!
Supertones
Creed - reminds me of riding around in James's jeep with the top down.
Savage Garden - my dad took me on a kayaking trip in the san juans, we listened to this the whole ride up and back
Bebo Norman and Enrique (no idea how to spell his last name) always remind me of Cindy and the time we were living together and our drives up to Bellingham
At the foot of the cross - One hundred hours
Norah Jones - reminds me of all the time spent at Dereks house with Derek, Cindy, Dave, Rob, and Josh
Gonna be worth it - Rita Springer reminds me of India
Theres a Hawaiian song that was popular when me and Justin first started hanging out. I don't know the title or the singer. I could sing it to you though. :)
David Crowder - Illuminate me and Justin listened to this during our drive to Minnesota
4th Avenue Jones - reminds me of being at youth specialties in Tennessee because thats where I first heard them
I'm sure I'll think of more later that I wish I had put! :)
My list will be up shortly, oh man are you guys gonna laugh laugh laugh...
liz, this is such a great post. i gotta think on it, too.
i often "hear" songs as soundtracks to driving and video game portions of my life. i think that's because i listened to music while doing those things!
here are a few:
all 4 one - i swear / driving under the H-1 freeway on Nimitz Hwy by the airport in hawaii
dashboard confessional [his early stuff] - while on the "left coast tour" w/ justin smith and ash
there is a specific song in my head for the SNES games: sim city, F-Zero, and Secret of Mana, but i can't remember what they are exactly.
well, now judah wants me to read him a book... so i guess i'm done with this post.
it wasn't very good, i know!
