Music: My Love. My Life.

A Playlist of My Life
(Written 2/28/10 at 9:57pm)

Music. In the car. In the shower. iPod. CDs. Radio. Pandora. While I am writing this blog. I surround myself with music. It calms me. Makes me smile. I am constantly putting on concerts when noone is watching. Music allows me to go where I want. Feel what I want. Every song is my favorite. My life is one giant playlist. I have a song for every thought. A song that would fit with any major or minor event in my life. I love music. Every one of my friends has a song. I put music to my heartbreaks, and to my happiest of memories.

As I was driving back from Spokane today I was listening to Kellie Pickler. Just myself, the road, and Kellie. It was the first time I had listened to her whole CD. So many songs fit my life. So many of her songs made me go "hmm... I have been there." Its weird when you can relate to everyone of her songs. I could put them all with a moment in my life. This time was different though. I didn't put on a concert. I just listened. Listened to every word. Heard every word. I love music that makes me think.I have decided to make a list. A list of recent songs that can be put to my life. And a little explination of why I have chose that song for that particular moment. I am not going to go back to far... just far enough...

I'm your Woman by Kellie Pickler... to the guy who hasn't quite realized why I am in his life.

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum... everytime I have ever texted or called someone when I knew I shouldn't have.

In Color by Jimmy Johnson... Just reminds me of my Grandparents. They are amazing people with great stories. Stories I could listen to over and over.

Sleeping with a broken heart by Alicia Keys... Recently I was sleeping with a broken heart... and I played this song over and over and over... It really only made things worse...

Ignition Remix by R Kelly... Junior year reminds me of joy riding with Lila and Megan.

Butterfly by Mariah Carey... Broke up with a boyfriend on Valentines Day... Then decided that I wanted him back. (haha I can't believe I am admitting this)

Anything to do with Pride and Prejudice... Carrie. My best friend ever. Makes me smile.

Present Date

I read this back and all I could think of was wow... Kellie Pickler... for sure there had to of been someone better I could have listened to... but then there must have been something about her music that stuck out to me... Jumping back today. I think I would have to go with Francesca Battistelli... Her CD Paper Heart has to be my all time favorite... I could pretty much put everyone of her songs to something that has been happening in my life...

Time in Between... Seriously this songs reminds me to remember what Jesus has done for me. It reminds me not just about how He died for my sins, but what he did in btween.

Someday Soon... Now this song would be for my future love... Hopefully one day I can play it for him and he won't think I am crazy...haha

Then I would say lets give a more updated play list of my life to date!

Revelation Song (by whoever, I love it regardless)... reminds me of Church, and everytime we sing it... I get this big ol' smile on my face, normally I look over at Debbie and give her that same big ol' smile! I get a little giddy inside when I sing it!

Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood... makes me think of the countless times Carrie and I would sing "man hater songs" at the Stoney! And now that Carrie has moved all the way acrossed the country it means a little more to me when I hear it or Gunpowder and Lead by Miranda Lambert... or Taylor Swift...

Hometown Glory by Adele... I could play this song on repeat for the rest of my life and not get tired of it... Makes me think about my little hometown!

Not Ready to Make Nice by The Dixie Chicks... this goes out to the last jerk who made me sad!

If I Die Young by The Band Perry... makes me think of what would happen if I died young... would people remember me?

Starry Night by Chris August.. continues to be my go to song when I need a little pick me up!

And anything that Praises God! I find myself listening to worship music most of the time!

Anything Lady Antebellum... reminds me of the amazing concert I went to with my Best Friends! Getting yelled at to sit down... priceless!



I love music so much that when my sisters and I "Play" a game... If a song comes on the radio that we love one of us will say "let's play"... then music gets turned up and the windows all get rolled down... and we sing as loud as possible! Definitely something I hope we will continue to do!

My music has helped me get through the roughest of times, the happiest of times... and the times when theres nothing else to do, but have a good jam session... :)
