Songs that I love

I've been inspired by Jessi's blog Notes from a Scattered Mind: Five Things on Friday - Terrible Music Edition">to make a list of songs that I can't help but crank up the radio and screech along to until my voice is hoarse. I'm not sure if I can keep it at just 5 songs since music has always been a big part of who I am, but...here they are, in no certain order...



This song always stirs up emotions. I remember hearing it on the way to a funeral visitation for a friend taken way too early. Summer of 1994, 16 yrs old and thought we were invincible and had our whole lives ahead of us. Nick, you are always loved and never forgotten.

Song # 2



One of my all time favorite movies introduced me to this song. Not sure if it was my teenage love of Christian Slater or the compelling plot line of Pump Up the Volume, but I have always wanted to be a radio DJ. :)

Song #3


I can relate to so many aspects of this song....and...

Song #4


Song #5

No words to describe this choice. Has to be an all time favorite for me!

Song #6 (knew I couldn't just limit it to five songs!)

a list of my songs isn't complete unless Bob is on it :)

Song #7

must have this on the ipod at all times

Song #8

this version of the song was a life saver during many rough times

Song # 9

Here are some others that I just have to mention :)


This is the last one I'll put on here, even though I could go on and on with this. This song is very hard to describe. There have been many rough patches in my life, and this song has helped pull me out. Those words seem too flat to really describe what this song means to me-but it's the best I can do.
