Soundtrack of My Life.....

**Warning this is an "interactive" post it requires some work on your part**

So I got the idea to write in ways a "soundtrack" of my life from my friend Hannah's english 1010 homework. I thought the assignment sounded interesting and even though I am taking the same class this fall, I thought why not do it now?? So it basically is songs that remind me of events and people in my life. Now this is where your part comes in, see that playlist ----> ---> the songs go in order of the events and people so when the song is mentioned you can click on it and play as much of the song as your little hearts desire and move on to the next when it is mentioned... so here we go.....



I chose Billy Joel's "Uptown Girl" to describe myself because I have always been a city girl, I'm in to fashion, make-up, interior design, shopping, and anything that sparkles.... I thought this song said it the best.... although I don't think I need a man with money necessarily to make me happy... so that part doesn't count.. :D



The next song "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle reminds me of when I was little and my parents would get me to fall asleep and when I would go with my mom to take my dad to work I remember hearing this song a lot it makes me happy... and sleepy....



"I Love You Always Forever" by Donna Lewis reminds me of my mom, she used to sing me this song and she loved the part that says: "You've got the most stumblin' blue eyes I've ever seen" it is 1:42 into the song if you wanna skip to that little part.... I used to have blue eyes when i was younger... now they are green....I love my mom she is amazing and is my best friend!!



Ah "You're the One that I Want"...... Saturday nights my family would always go grocery shopping at Macey's in west jordan and listen to Showtunes Saturday night on Kozy 106.5 to and from the store. Grease has always been one of my favorite musicals.....



N'Sync's "Bye Bye Bye" is kind of a random note here.... Krysta and I used to fight a lot when we were younger but what sisters didn't?? I remember one time imparticular she got the new N'Sync CD and she would never let me listen to it... so one day when she wasn't in our room I took the CD and broke it... I was a stupid child cuz now neither one of us could listen to the Cd and I still got in trouble ..no winning there except that I made Krysta mad.....



Glee's cover of "Beth" represents my family moving to Ammon Idaho in 2004, but my dad stayed and lived in Utah with my grandparents for his job so he could only come up on weekends... song is kinda self explanitory on this one but can I just say I LOVEE puck off of Glee he is soo studdly....*sigh*



"Shake yo Groove Thang..." by Peaches & Herb reminds me of my Dad... he loves disco and I just love this song so it works.... It also reminds me of when my brothers and sister and I would get up at 4 AM and do a paper route and we would have to listen to "dad music" while we did our routes.....



"I Say a Little Prayer" by my sista Aretha, reminds me of my best friend from Idaho, Jessica Dawn Hart the 1st.... We were driving down the main street in Idaho Falls, 17th street, one night and we were blasting this song as she drove... we even had actions and did them for cars next to us.. it was marvelous :D I miss Jess and love her just as much as my own sister in fact she is...



Jesse McCartney's "Beautiful Soul" reminds me of another friend from Idaho Silvana we would always have sleep overs and drool over Jesse McCartney and listened to this song over and over again....



"Wild Wild West" by Will Smith you ask....? Well, I couldn't drive when we lived in Idaho so my older brother Marcus always had to drive my friends and I around and we would ask him to play this song all the time after it randomly came on one time... my friends and I memorized the lyrics and I can proudly still sing along... so it reminds me of Marcus and his random gangsta moments....



"We're all in this together" by none other than the High School Musical Cast reminds me of my very first ballroom dance group performance we did a cha cha to this song... I miss IBA... 2nd best Swing Dancer in Gem State BABY!!! I won't make you listen to this song any more you can turn it off....



"Mercy" by Duffy is mainly used for the title not so much the lyrics... it represents the 1st time I sluffed a class in middle school in 8th grade... Mrs. Snowden's english class with Silvana... needless to say we got caught and I was in BIG trouble... but so was Daniel because he set the example for me ;) so i begged for Mercy.... thus the song Mercy!



Oh "Hey There Delilah" by Plain White T's... We were moving back down to Utah in 2007 I think and I was riding in the U-Haul with my dad and this song came on like 90 times while we were driving down and it has a sad melody so it fit the situation... i loved idaho and still do i miss it so much but i've had so many great memories in utah I get to tell you about now....



"Letter to Me" by Brad Paisley reminds me of my brother Daniel... when we moved back down to utah it was his senior year and it was really hard for him so we got really close, not that we weren't already... we were born on the same day, June 6th, 3 years apart and we have stuck together since then..... I would also say the song "I'm awesome" by spose reminds me of him as well but I couldn't post that on my blog... its kinda inappropriate you can look it up on your own if you wish.. my favorite part is "and if you like this.. its cuz i'm little sister wrote it" haha we listened to it for the 1st time in an arctic cirle drive thru and couldn't stop laughing at the lyrics :D



Michael Buble... who doesn't love him? "Everything" reminds me of 9th grade and my friend Matt... in science we would pass a notebook back and forth and just write song lyrics on it and we still give each other great songs to listen to... and he still has the notebook he is a cutie..



"Fifteen" by Taylor Swift obviously reminds me of when I was fifteen and starting High School at Huge Copper Hills it was scary but I had great friends and got to go while my sister was a senior which made it easier and this song came out oddly that same year.....



"Forever" by Chris Brown reminds me of my first high school dance.. the Hello stomp after the 1st home game of the year.... I went with my sister and some of her friends. I remember this song from the stomp specifically because when it came on it was like someone hit the partay button and turned it on HIGH!! I remember dancing with Eric Diamond, Krysta, Caitlyn Rassmensen, Tommy Nudd, and Stefan Warren... they were all seniors and I was a sophmore the guys were wearing sunna shades, just a random note, and I felt cool... so now I always remember the stomp when iI listen to it and those guys and how crazy they were and also how lucky I was to also have all those cute boys in my seminary class :D



"Wild at Heart" by Gloriana reminds me of my sister Krysta and the great year we had together her senior year and my sophmore year.... we hung out a lot.. her friends were my friends and my friends were her friends too .we went on random adventures together and got really close that year and summer......plus she used to sing this song religiously...



"All the Above" by Maino ft. T-Pain, reminds me of the summer in between my Sophmore and Junior year, it continued my sister and I's "adventures" that summer.. one I remember the most is we were driving my cousin Jeff's truck down some street in Riverton listening to this song when a huge truck full of cowboys pulled up next to us and started dancing to this song.... we sped away laughing at the cowboys dancing to the rap song....



"How to Save a Life" by the Fray reminds me of August 24th, 2009 for reasons you that know me probably could figure out.... 'nuff said....



"Merry Happy" by Kate Nash reminds me of my Junior Year because it was a great year and I feel like it made me grow a lot with all the things I was involved in and things with my friends...



"Highway to Hell" Glee's cover reminds me of my Junior year as well because I failed my 1st class ever that year 3rd quarter AP Us History with Mr. Wall..... I'm still doing summer school to make up that credit.... and my friend Chantelle and I used to drive around listening to this song a few times when we were hyper.....



"Kids" by MGMT reminds me of my Tech class this year and the amazing girls I met in it!!! We always has so much fun, going on trips downtown, naming strangers sleeping on TRAX, taking pictures, and basically being kids :D



"Young Forever" by Jay- Z ft. Mr. Hudson also reminds me of those girls and the fun times we still have today like we once had a tea party and wore Pink stick on Mustaches... if you don't believe me check my facebook pictures as proof.... we also took pictures outside random daybreak houses that were fun colors :D



"Bust a Move" by Young MC reminds me of my 1st DECA comp. with girls from my tech program. Lexi, Nikki, Massie, and Lindsay thanks to Mrs. Short hettin gus to join!!.... this was our Jam in our hotel room in layton.... one of the funnest weekends of my life.... we didn't place in finals but we still had a blast!!



"Out of my League" by Stephen Speaks reminds me of my friend Shannon who I got close to this year and summer...we always talk about boys and she is the one that introduced me to this song because she said she wanted the guy she falls in love to feel this way about her.. so now it reminds me of her and also of how a guy should treat/ feel about you if he loves you... cute I know.



"The way you make me feel" by none other than MJ... reminds me of girls camp because the first music Katie and I turned on while we were there was Michael Jackson's Greatest Hits....



"Vogue" by Madonna also reminds me of the GC because we listened to this on one of Laura's mixes while she gave us make overs.... she did a little dance for us and everything it was so funny I love her!!! she's such a great role model for me and the other girls :D



"Whatta Man" by En Vogue also is another GC memory because our amazing preisthood and cabin owner Jake did so much to help at camp and we all think Jen is one lucky girl to have someone so helpful and funny and not to mention talented and spiritual.... so the song fits.....



"Happily Ever After" by He is We might confuse you at first glance... but its more of a hope.... than an actual memory... I hope this song will remind me of my senior year and that I end up happy and I get to yell my story....plus its just a great song....



"Graduation (Friends Forever)" by Vitamin C is also a song I hope will remind me of my senior year and my friends from high school... hopefully it will remind some of you of your graduations and high school.....



"Us" by Regina Spektor I hope will remind me of my college life and journeys that come after that as well..... mainly because I hope someone builds a statue of me and puts it on a mountain top or names a city after me..... the chorus also I think could remind me of it with the part that says "We are living in a den of thieves rumaging for answers in the pages.." because I know in college you learn alot about yourself and what you want the rest of you life to be about...I hope to search around for those answers.....

"Undeniable" by Mat Kearney is a memory and hope.... it reminds me and describes my friends and family so far in my life and I hope more friends and family to come in the future because you all are undeniable and the only ones in an unreliable world ;)... Chorus explains it all.....



"Fame" by Naturi Naughton is a hope too not because I want to be famous but because "I'm gonna learn how to fly and make it to heaven" and I hope "people cry when they see me"... in a good way.... and they will remember my name" in good times.....



"Jump rope" by Blue October is just a good summary of my life and it makes me happy and the lyrics really say what I can't..... its been good times... and hard times... but I have also gained great advice and experience..... life really is l"ike a jump rope, up and down"..... we gotta "hold our heads up high and watch all the negative go by".....



Finally the end....."May Angles Lead You In" by Jimmy Eat World..... I hope when I die angles lead me in..... and even now in all I do..... May angles lead you all in, in whatever it is you will go on and experience and accomplish....may you all "Deny, Deafeat, and RISE on victory's wings!"
