Here we are on the last day...

day 30 - your favorite song at this time last year

It was probably still Kids by MGMT



Though I am not overly fond of the video...

For those who viewed any of the songs - I hope you enjoyed them :)

30 days of songs - Day 29

day 29 - a song from your childhood

This one has to be oowatanite by April Wine. My sister used to play this really loudly in our parent's rec room and I would run and dance around like a miniature crazy person!



The next runner up would be Heart of Glass by Blondie

30 days of songs - Day 24

day 24 - a song that you want to play at your funeral

I've given this a lot of thought over the years and I've only got these two songs from my favourite movie, "Harold & Maude"...

On the Road to Find Out by Cat Stevens

30 days of songs - Day 23

day 23 - a song that you want to play at your wedding

Considering the post I made a few minutes ago --- this one is tough for other reasons.  I almost said to Hubs that if he keeps up with his attitude and negativity that he and I will never get married.

During days/weeks where he hasn't irked me, this one would STILL be really tough for me... because Hubs and I don't really share the same musical taste (and we are common-law).

Hubs has previously said that the song Someday by Rob Thomas makes him think of me/us:



Maybe Beloved (the acoustic version) by Ben Harper...



Or "Greatest Day" by Take that... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHzMLGH1Rfs




With Husband v1.0 we had the song Beautiful Freak by the Eels as our first dance at our wedding in May 2001:

30 days of songs - Day 22

day 22 - a song that you listen to when you’re sad

Remember When by Alan Jackson

My Mom loved this song... and she had a mad crush on Alan Jackson too. At her funeral, instead of typical funeral music we followed her request which was to play Alan Jackson's Greatest Hits album. Her coffin was taken out to the song "Livin' on Love" but that one makes me a basket case of grief -- this one is good for just being sad and missing her without the major meltdown.

30 days of songs - Day 15

day 15 - a song that describes you

I'm really having a tough time with this one... in the past I would have automatically chosen this one:

Homeward by VNV Nation



Mainly because of the following lyrics:

"I try to find the strength I need
To calm the doubts in my beliefs
With the will, I know my heart won't break

And if I have strength then I've belief
If I have love my heart still beats
Here under stars
Far from home
"

Or this one just because a lot of it fits the way I felt for the majority of my life...

Anybody Listening? by Queensyrche



But I'm having a hell of a time coming up with something that fits me NOW...

Hubs suggested Paranoid by Black Sabbath...

S-girl suggested "Firework" (which used to really irk me because the singular version of fireworks seemed awkward but, lyrically it fits).

I will ALWAYS love "Barbie Girl" although the whole album makes me smile as I remember hot, hot days in an apartment without A/C, wishing I had stocks in Gatorade & young love...

day 12 - a song from a band you hate <-- I don't often listen to bands that I hate so my EDITED day 12 is... a song I *want* to hate, that I do not go out of my way to listen to but that I actually like (not a guilty pleasure because I don't LOVE it)
