Day 29: Five Songs that Bring Back Specific Memories
There are about a thousand songs that could fit this category, although several of them take me back to a fictional movie or TV moment rather than something in my real life. (Ahh, the powerful music of Grey's Anatomy. lol) These are the main five that come to mind right now:
1) The Good Life - Lots of memories with this song, but mostly, it takes me back to Las Vegas, Mandalay Bay Beach, sitting in the sand with my VCGO friends, laughing and talking, singing along, and me taking mental pictures of the whole thing. It was the first of the four OneRepublic concerts I've seen, and probably the best and most exciting just because of the atmosphere! :)
2) Total Eclipse of the Heart - Riding in the X5, (Rach driving, Holly in the front, me and Megan in the back) singing this at the top of our lungs with full raspy drama and passion... right up until Holly screamed her head off for Rach to stop and we narrowly missed being hit by a train!! (We sang this one many times, but that night stands out above the others.)
3) No Diggity, No Doubt - Not the Pitch Perfect version, but the Ty Wallace version. lol I remember going to the Wallaces and us four kids hanging out in Clint and Ty's room while our parents were all watching football... instead of making up a random play or obstacle course or having a pretend wedding that night, Clint and Ty did a dance they'd made up to this song, and Rach and I thought it was the best thing ever! We tried to convince them to do it for the parents, but only Ty agreed to that, so with our encouragement, he put on a show all by himself. It was pretty epic. lol
4) The Scientist - Oh, the angsty pain and drama of it all. After the first of many, many difficult conversations with Josh (this one was late 2005) about our feelings not matching up but him still wanting me to be in his life, this song came on while he was driving me home in my car, top down, hair blowing in the wind, pretending to be fascinated by whatever was on my side of the road so he wouldn't see me crying. "Nobody said it was easy - oh, it's such a shame for us to part. Nobody said it was easy, but no one ever said it would be this hard..." Stupid Coldplay, making me feel things two years ahead of time. lol
5) And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going - This one takes me right back to the Dreamgirls cruise with Rach and Kate, and it makes me laugh every time! Specifically, I remember Kate belting this out while laying in her tiny cruise bed. :) "You're gonna LOVE ME!"
"Dreamgirls"Kate doing her Jennifer Hudson impression! lol
