Do you ever listen to a song that makes you feel like you're in a movie? Like, in your life- you're playing out a scene in a movie, and the song you're listening to is the background music/soundtrack? I had one of those moments the other day, it was a Nick Drake song... and I just felt like at that moment that song was meant to play in my life movie. It was kind of a mellow almost tired sounding song- which is really how I feel lately! Except for maybe the mellow part, life is super busy and somewhat stressful at the moment.There are also moments in my life where I listen to a song and it immediately brings back a memory and takes me there to what happened when I listened to that song. A lot of 80's songs remind me of riding in the mountains in UT in a Jeep with no doors or windows on. There are certain songs that remind me A LOT of my older siblings or even my parents. Some songs I listen to just for the song, others I listen to for the lyrics. I hold music very dear to my heart, in all sorts of different ways. It's what helps me work faster, it makes me happy, sometimes I like singing along- sometimes I don't, it reminds me of good times or even not so good (can't listen to Angel from Sarah McLaughlin only because I had a roommate a while back that would listen to that song EXTREMELY loud to let us all know that she was mad and ((needed attention)) needed to be left alone...ugh). Shout by Tears for Fears reminds me of the Foothill High School swimming pool in Cali. Subdivisions by Rush reminds me of Greg (my brother) and driving the Alipe Loop with a random girl that wanted to date him. Feist and the Gorillaz remind me of the summer Ryan and I met and started hanging out with each other. Baby's Got Sauce by G. Love is totally Delinda... and so many other songs.
Are you a lyrics or song person? (meaning, do you like songs because of the lyrics or because of the way it sounds?)
Are there any songs that remind YOU of ME? And why?
