Day Ten... (Fall Asleep)

Once again any Brooks and Dunn song will make me fall asleep if need be, but the song I use most to fall asleep is "Quicksand" by Bethany Joy Galeotti. I have that song on every musical device I own, but I most commonly listen to it on my phone so I can have it right  near my face on listen to it on repeat. Her voice is amazing and the song itself is beautiful and soothing.

...it's just getting hard to believe it."

Day Nine... (Dance)

Time Warp

Okay, dancing is something that I don't do. Not even chair dancing. It's just something I avoid at all costs. I don't know why, but it's how I am. Apparently that gene didn't get passed down to me, because everyone else in my family has absolutely no problem with dancing. The ONLY song I have ever voluntarily danced to is "The Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. This hell-must-have-frozen-over event occurred at my friend Becky's sweet 16 birthday party when Nancy decided it would be fun for her and me to dance to that song and see how many people would join in. Never again have I voluntarily danced. Other than the occasional wild hair up my ass that has made me bust out a couple moves walking down the hallway dancing to some classic rock music, but I wouldn't actually call what I did dancing. Ha. Ever since dancing to The Time Warp, whenever I here it I feel the urge to get up and relive that moment.

Day Eight... (All Words)

Well, there isn't a single Brooks and Dunn song that I don't know all the words to, but my favorite song to sing to that I definitely know all of the words to would have to be "Country Boy" by Aaron Lewis (lead singer of Staind). I first heard this song about a week ago and I immediately fell in love with it. I have listened to it so many times in such a short period I'm not surprised I've already remembered all the words to it.

...and a couple extra pounds never really hurt."

Day Seven... (Rememberance of Certain Event)

Son's Gonna Rise

I don't really have a certain event such as graduation, a funeral, a wedding, a party, or anything substantial like that that a certain song reminds me of. The one event that sticks out most in my life that a song has any representation of would be "Son's Gonna Rise" by Citizen Cope. The first time I heard this song, it was by accident. I didn't know that it was on my mp3 player. To this day I still don't know how the song got on there, but when I heard the song, driving in my car at 1am, all of a sudden everything seemed to make sense. It was the biggest moment of clarity and serenity I had ever had. Plus, it turns out, it's just a great damn song. And it was on my favorite show, One Tree Hill.

"You can't stop it God...

...the wheels in my hand as I stand on the floor of the board of this car on the road."

Citizen Cope

Day Six... (Rememberance Song of Somewhere)

This may sound ridiculous but the one song that reminds me of somewhere would have to be "Escape" by Rupert Holmes (people know this as the pina colada song). Every time I'd go down south (Carmel and Capitola) with my mom and usually my cousin Kristen we'd listen to Pina Coladas on repeat and sing our heads off. Good times.

...and getting caught in the rain"
