• Day 7 (11/10/14): Song That Reminds You of This Past Summer

                             This Summer I started my practicum and my new hours at my work. So even though I didn't listen to this song once this Summer, it's more the Title of the song.

This is day #6 of the challenge for 25 days, 25 songs...

• Day 6 (11/09/14): Song That Reminds You of a Best Friend

                             My best friends are Boo Wallace on the Upper East Coast and Brad Holten on the Upper West Coast. So there are two songs.

For Boo, because of the hours spent playing and listening to this song:
 Paradigm by All Together Separate (AKA Formerly PraiseHouse)



For Brad, because nothing is more funny than impersonating someone trying to rhyme Hello and For:
Hello by Lionel Richie



Thank you both for years of friendship!! You both rock!

Day #4 25 songs, 25 songs The Calm

This is day #4 of the challenge for 25 days, 25 songs...

• Day 4 (11/08/14): Song That Calms You Down

                             Today's song is a song that calms me down. I'm not sure there is a single song that calms me down. It depends on the reason I'm not calm. So here are the top 3 songs that calm me down for most occasions:

Dandelions by Five Iron Frenzy- For those days I see too many weeds in the flowers of what I offer to God and to Others




On and On by PFR (Pray for Rain) Reminds me God is with me On and on and on...

Everything by LifeHouse This one reminds me that struggle is tough but it's worth it.

Day #3 25 songs, 25 days Parents

This is day #3 of the challenge for 25 days, 25 songs...

• Day 3 (11/07/14): Song That Reminds You of One or Both of Your Parents

               The song that reminds me of my dad is Beer for My Horses by Toby Keith 




There was a period of about 6 months that every single time he and I would get into his car this song would either be playing or would be the next song that played! At first it was funny, then it was creepy and lastly there was just a quiet acceptance of both and then it was just hilarious!

                         The song that reminds me of my mom is One Girl Army by Five Iron Frenzy



This one reminds me of my mom because when she first heard it it was the only song that she would ask for when driving in my car. I might have made her listen to the whole album on repeat when I first got the album! :-)

25 songs, 25 days Day #2

This is day #2 of the challenge for 25 days, 25 songs...

• Day2 (11/06/14): Song that Reminds You of Your Most Recent Exgirlfriend

            This one is a little more difficult. It's been like 17 years since I've had an exgirlfriend. I'm going with Don't be There by Switchfoot (There Facebook page is here: Switchfoot). This song is really melancholy, I just remember this song bummed me out when we broke up. There was another song or two that she really liked but I have erased them from my memory because I needed to maintain some sanity.

Challenge: 25 Songs, 25 Days

I saw this while online a day or two ago and thought it would be fun to try and take 25 days to add to this entry. So here goes:


Day1 (11/05/14): Song from Your Childhood
             

             Smoky Mountain Rain by Ronnie Milsap
                             The Reason: Growing up my dad and I would listen to this song on a tape over and over again. I used to think one of the lyrics said "...said he was going as far as Captain Bird..." The actual lyric is "...said he was going as far as Gatlinburg..." I would always think of Captain Crunch which is why I liked the song as a youngster. However, as I grew I realized this song was a really sad song but has always reminded me of my childhood since. The song was released in 1980. Ronnie, is a blind piano player. I was always fascinated with the fact that he, Stevie Wonder, and Ray Charles could all play so great and they were blind! I can't play worth crap and I can see just fine. I can remember playing a game with my two brothers where we would blindfold ourselves and go all around the house. I don't remember what exactly what the purpose was but it was fun.
