The Music Got Me Thinking...

I spent some time this evening researching some lyrics and videos for one of my friends. Isn't it funny how a song can stir up so many memories and emotions. Here are a few that caught my attention: Rick Astley — Never Gonna Give You Up. Yes, this dates me doesn't it! I read the lyrics and was instantly taken back to the Walmart parking lot of my hometown. Sitting in the center of a pick-up truck. My high school sweet heart on my left and his good friend and relative on my right. My high school sweet heart was tearing the wrapper off the tape he had just bought. Young, innocent, first love... Nothing better. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HrSN7176XI Bryan Adams – Run To You. I remember my best friend and boyfriend joking about how much they both liked this song. I was just too stupid and blind to understand their real reason why. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gF5LaVkDhyk Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Right Round. LOL, My cousin and best friend as a child dancing in our grandmother's house pretending to be "grown." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCiVXigrjjQ Phil Collins - Against All Odds. Early teens spending a few days with a much older cousin at her college dorm. She took me to see the movie. My first "R" rated film. It was at a place where they served food and beer. Best of all, I got to partake in both! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nANmPPmfn_M Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know. Hearing the start of the song and screaming. Jumping on the dance floor with my BFF (Sane)and dancing our arses off as we shouted the lyrics. Our own little moment of saying "Fuck You" to all the boys that had done us wrong. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dR6mEu5-egA Melissa Etheridge - Like The Way I Do. One of my all time favorite songs. I still rock out to this cd when I'm in the car alone. First time I heard it was in my favorite gay dance club in the "big city." I was going through a difficult time and this song fit my emotions perfectly. Melissa Etheridge - Bring Me Some Water. Koko Taylor also does a cool version of it. How many nights have I felt this way... countless. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rZean7bjzY
