Music For The Mind
When I discover a new song I like, I usually listen to it, a lot. The song will be on (near) repeat until I get very, VERY sick of it. Mind you, that will only happen after about 3-4 weeks. Since I use (abuse?) songs like that, I've come to think of certain periods of my life associated with a series of tunes.
Dark or hard times are usually joined with rock/punk songs. Move Along by The All-American Rejects is an excellent example. I remember when I first went flying on my own. I was sixteen, and for the first ten minutes of the ride Move Along was blaring (over the airplane engines) in my ears.
When looking at my iTunes top 25, it's like a walk down memory lane. Jordin Sparks' No Air is high up there (sad times, losing or missing people) along with remixes of Aqua songs (Cartoon Heroes) and songs by Under The Influence of Giants, my last summer's epic playlist.
The song currently abused is Airplanes by B.o.B ft. Hayley Williams of Paramore. I have a feeling that it'll star in this summer's holiday playlist. Some songs that also have caught my fancy for the season include:
- Manboy - Eric Saade
- Secrets - OneRepublic
- Little Wonders - Rob Thomas (REALLY relaxing song, goes well with Rainymood.com
- Sleep - Poets of Th Fall (One of the most beautiful songs I know)
- The Book of Love - Peter Gabriel
And with that, I leave you with yet another random interval blog post. May all the Northern Hemisphere people have a lovely summer!
