Days 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30 - FINISHED!

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

"It Makes Me Ill" - NSYNC

You know why, Ayisha.

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument

Red River Valley, on the guitar.
It was the first song I ever learned how to play on the guitar.



Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play

The whole reason I learned to play the guitar was so that one day I could play "Country Roads" by John Denver. Did I ever learn? No.

Day 28 - A song that makes you feel guilty

Probably all those hip-hop songs I listen to.
No videos for this one.

Day 29 - A song from your childhood

Basically anything by ABBA or Cat Stevens, or any of the music by Janice Kapp Perry (the old school stuff) or music from "My Turn on Earth" - specifically "Angel Lullaby".



One other one is called "When A Knight Won His Spurs." My mom sang it when she was in school in England, and it's one of my favorite lullabies from when I was little.




Day 30 - Your favorite song at this time last year

Hmmm, that's kind of hard.
At this time last year.... I'm not sure.
Probably some lovey dovey song.

Days 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24

Day 20 - A Song That I Listen to When I'm Angry
I'm not an angry person... I don't get angry very often. I have no song for this.

Day 21 - A Song That I Listen to When I'm Happy
Almost all music makes me happy! But let's see.... I'll go with  pretty much any Glee song, haha.




Day 22 - A Song That I Listen to When I'm Sad
Oh, I have whole playlists dedicated to sad songs, from back in the day.
Almost Lover - A Fine Frenzy, is a sad, sad song. 



Day 23 - A Song That I Want to Play at My Wedding
Well, I had a lot of songs that I wanted to be played at my wedding. And most of them were.
Here are just a few favorites...

My Best Friend - Tim McGraw
Lovely Tonight - Joshua Radin
1, 2, 3, 4 - Plain White T's
I Can't Move - Kalai
Then - Brad Paisley
Inside Your Heaven - Carrie Underwood




Day 24 - A Song That I Want to Play at My Funeral
This is something I haven't really ever thought about...  But I would want "Our Savior's Love" played.

Days 15, 16, 17, 18, and 19

Day 15 - A Song That Describes Me
I'm going to be sort of vain... And say "She's Everything" by Brad Paisley. Kyle sings this song to me, and it's his ringtone for me... And I love it.

Day 16 - A Song That You Used to Love and Now Hate
Hmm, this is sort of hard. I'm trying to force my brain to recall songs from back in the day.
Maybe I"ll have to come back to this one.

Day 17 - A Song That You Hear Often on the Radio
One of my current loves... "Just a Dream" by Nelly.




Day 18 - A Song That You Wish You Heard on the Radio
Any old Dashboard songs... They hardly ever play Dashboard. It's sad.

Day 19 -A Song From Your Favorite Album
Hmm, favorite album? One of my favorite albums ever is Missy Higgins "The Sound of White". Oh, how I love Missy Higgins. If I could, I would add a link to every one of her songs. Seriously. Look her up. And fall in love.
Here's a video of her singing the title track, live. 

Days12, 13, and 14

A Song From a Band I Hate
"Party in the USA" - Miley Cyrus
The only Miley song I can stand. Don't judge, it's catchy.
(the real music video won't let me embed)



A Song That Is a Guilty Pleasure
"My Humps" - Black Eyed Peas

So this song is no good, but it's catchy. And reminds of the days of Interior Design my junior year of high school when the skanky sophomores would turn on the radio during our work time, when the teacher was gone, and this would blast from 97.1 zht until the teacher came back and we turned it off. Also reminds me of my friend Kinnon sometimes. We got a kick out of singing it in his truck.

(I won't post the music video, or even the lyrics because, well, it's skanky.)

A Song No One Would Expect Me to Love
"Ohio is For Lovers" - Hawthorne Heights

There was a certain boy I dated my sophomore year of high school (cough*cesar*cough) who loved Hawthorne Heights, and I was convinced they were awful and sang terrible things. Then next year of high school, I had another friend (cough*collin*cough) who also like Hawthorne Heights, and I started to like them too.

Day 11 - A Song From My Favorite Band

Again, I have a lot of favorite bands in a lot of genres.

Dashboard Confessional has been my favorite band, consistently since 9th grade. LOVE their songs, their style, and the lead singer, Chris Carrabba. But then there are bands and singers such as Blink 182, Carrie Underwood, Paramore, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Weezer, Brad Paisley, The Rocket Summer, etc. How to chose just one favorite band?!

Alright. Let's get down to business. An all-time favorite song, from an all-time favorite band would have to be....

I'll go with, ok, two songs by Dashboard Confessional.


"The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" - their older and original sound.




Don't Wait - which is their "newer" sound.




I love Dashboard.
SO much.

Day 10 - A Song That Makes Me Fall Asleep

The whole album A Mark, A Mission, A Brand, A Scar by Dashboard Confessional makes me fall asleep, but not in a bad way. It's just so calming to me. This was the CD that I fell asleep to throughout high school.
At the same time, I love singing along to this whole CD too.

Seriously. One of my favorite albums. EVER.

I'm trying to decide what song to post.... Because I love them all....
Ok, this is probably one of the most calming ones on the CD.
Love.

Day 9 - A Song That I Can Dance To

You see, there are two types of songs that I (or you) can dance to.
First, there are dance party songs. You know, the ones that make you just want to get up and MOVE.
Second, there are heart-wrenching, lyrical songs that just make me want to choreograph.

With that in mind... Here are favorites in each category.

Dance Party Songs
Get Low - Lil Jon
Lose Control - Missy Elliot
Boom Boom Pow - Black Eyed Peas
Shake - Ying Yang Twins

Lyrical Songs
Storm - Lifehouse
With or Without You - U2
They Weren't There - Missy Higgins
Wild Horses - Natasha Bedingfield

(And maybe I've choreographed, or danced to all four of these songs)

Day 8 - A Song That I Know All The Words To

Well, I love music, so I know the words to A LOT of songs.

So, this is going to be sort of hard, to pick just one. Which means there will most likely be a few again.

Some of my favorites to sing along to are:

You Found Me - The Fray
There Is - Box Car Racer
Curse of Curves - Cute is What We Aim For
Sugar, We're Going Down - Fall Out Boy
Paper Planes - M.I.A.
Ignition (Remix) - R. Kelly
That's What You Get - Paramore
Baby, Come On - +44

For your listening and viewing pleasure...



Also, you better believe I know all the words to almost all old school Nsync, BSB, and Britney Spears songs. As well as most Dashboard Songs.

Day 7 - A Song That Reminds Me of a Certain Event

I've been racking my brain to try and figure out what the heck song I can post for this day. I've been trying, and trying, and trying... So, I've finally thought of one, and I'm posting it. Maybe if I get a great idea, I'll post that instead but for now... Please be introduced to my BREAK-UP list. Each of these songs remind me of a specific break-up. I won't list names, just when the break-up occured.

Break-up #1, Sophomore Year, Lehi "Just Missed The Train" - Kelly Clarkson
Break-up #1, Sophomore Year, Lehi "Low" - Kelly Clarkson
Break-up #1, Sophomore Year, Lehi "Fall to Pieces" - Avril Lavigne
(there are a lot more songs for this first break-up, I was a dramatic, distressed 15 year-old girl)
Break-up #2, Junior Year, Mountain View "Cold As You" - Taylor Swift
Break-up #2, Junior/Senior Year, Mountain View "Ten Days" - Missy Higgins
Break-up #?, Sophomore Year, BYU "If I Were a Boy" - Beyonce
Break-up #?, Sophomore Year, BYU "White Horse" - Taylor Swift

There of course are others, but those are main ones that I can remember singing along to directly after a specific break-up. And don't worry, I won't post videos of all these songs. I'll just post "If I Were A Boy".

Day 6 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere

These four songs will forever remind me of the Mountain View High School cafeteria/commons area.
School dances, anybody?


"Everytime We Touch" - Cascada
"Sandstorm" - Darude
"Since You've Been Gone" - Kelly Clarkson
"Here [in your arms]" - HelloGoodbye

Day 5 - A Song That Reminds Me of Someone

I'm going to go with "Out of My League" by Stephen Speaks.
This reminds me of my dear Kaylie Hancock now Sikahema.

We were sophomores in high school, and Lj had sent this song to Kaylie, and said it was the song that described her... Or made him think of her... Or something equally cute like that. Kaylie and I thought it was the cutest thing ever. We fell in love with the song (more so Kaylie, I'm sure) and one night we had a sleepover, and fell asleep to that song, each one of us with one ear bud from Kaylie's iPod in our ear.

That's exactly what it makes me think of.

... and maybe it secondly reminds me of Mr. Rich, my junior English teacher, because he played it for us in class in our music analysis unit, and analyzed it to death. But that's another story.




(sorry the quality is not awesome - it's the best youtube could do)

Day 4 - A Song That Makes You Sad

A song that makes me sad is definitely "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood.
Tears, every time.

Cause I like music too

Day 1- my favorite song is Keep Fishing by Weezer but the best song ever is The Middle by J.E.W.
Day 2- my least favorite song "Love the Way You Lie" - Eminem ft Rihanna
Day 3- A song that makes me happy would be......Island in the Sun by Weezer
Day 4- A song that makes me sad. Umm music doesn't really make me sad and I don't really think of the Beatles as being sad, but I'd say Yesterday and Eleanor Rigby.
Day 5- A song that reminds me of someone is AC/DC's Thunderstruck. My brother Alan loves AC/DC and he used to try and play Thunderstruck on his guitar all the time. Great song. Great brother.

Day 3 - A Song That Makes You Happy

Ok, after much thinking and deliberation, I've narrowed it down to two songs.

"My Life Would Suck Without You" - Kelly Clarkson
"Our Song" - Taylor Swift

Both are just happy and make you wanna move.

Love them both.

Day 2 - My Least Favorite Song

The song that immediately jumped into my head was "Desire" by U2.
Our competition team competed to this song my senior year of high school, and I can not even tell you how many times I have listened to this song, over and over and over and over again. Counting the beats, getting the moves down.
Ugh.

Also, I dislike any song by Miley Cyrus.
(except for maybe Party in the USA - it's catchy, don't judge)

Sorry, no music videos for this one :)

Day 1 - My Favorite Song

This is a hard one. I have so many favorite songs. I think I'm going to list my current favorite song. Er, or maybe songs??

I'd have to say, right now... I am loving, well, 5 or 6 songs.

"Just the Way You Are" - Bruno Mars

"If We Ever Meet Again" - Timbaland ft Katy Perry

"Just A Dream" - Nelly

"Airplanes" - B.o.B. ft Haley Williams

"Magic" - B.o.B. ft Rivers Cuomo

"Love the Way You Lie" - Eminem ft Rihanna

(Katy Perry's "Not Like The Movies" is an honorable mention.)
