soundtrack :)
So the lovely lollipop posted some great songs important to her life. And that just seems like fun. Just this morning, Spawn wanted to know where I got promise sunshine. So I showed her. I’m not from Philly, but my sophomore year college roommate was and got me hooked on a local Philly band. This may not be my favorite of their songs, but I still know every word (when I can’t remember yesterday or where I put that stupid book or my phone or what I’m supposed to be doing.) When I was hooking up my Xanga account, I got this lyric into my head, “you change your mind like the weather, you promised sunshine, but it looks like rain.” This is so me. I do often keep my sunshine bright, but I change my mind and I have plenty of rain moments too. Anyway, I think this song is fun and the lyrics are cool.
Bridge Over Trouble Water. Do I ever need to say another word?
I remember in 10th grade, hopelessly in like with a guy who didn’t know I existed, I started singing the clever part of this song and this sweet, cute swimmer made me realize it didn’t matter. No, of course I never went out with either of them. But I felt better about it, having someone just hear what I felt. And, yea, it is probably the most ridiculous Journey song. But I still love it and crank it high in the car when I’m driving.
And that, dear readers, is the end of my posting for the day. Thank goodness.

That’s fun. I like that first song, and it is interesting knowing where you got your name.
I may have to do this myself.
@lanney - yes, please.
I always like finding out where someone gets their name from. I think it’s cool that Spawn knows you’re blogging.
these are good. nothing like some pop from the past to keep things ticking over. why does it always seem so innocent? is that an illusion because we were more innocent when we first heard them? or is there really something more jaded out and about now.
as with most everything, it’s probably a combination.
stupid combinations.
Wow I only knew the second one O.O the first song has a quite interesting lyrics on it, great choices
@songoftheheart - i didn’t know she did. at least not here. i’ve showed her the empty place i used to blog. just occurred to me that i probably outed myself when i had her read my story from this morning. duh
@xXxlovelylollipop - thanks for your inspiration.
@complicatedlight - you and your complicated combinations. i think we were more innocent then.
I’ve never heard the first song, but I remember them singing Holy Moses.
and Journey’s songs are all good. as well as S&G’s.
neat!

I grew up with Simon & Garfunkel, they’re my mother’s like favorite band of all time. That song is particularly haunting and beautiful, and they do that well.
@plantinthewindow - all you zombies, hide your faces. how in the heck do you know the hooters? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c9_e_kDnzU@leaflesstree - hard to find a bad simon and garfunkel tune. thanks for the visit.
great songs, I may have to try my hand at something similar. While I was lying on my floor trying to sleep I was listening to an mp3 player and thought that I should put it on random and post like 5 or 10 songs. I’m weird like that.
I think my favorite Simon and Garfunkel song is America. The words just hit me.
@godfatherofgreenbay - ah. i had to google America. (but i knew that tune in 5 notes) yes, please do.
I’ve been meaning to blog about the Jayhawks, one of my favorite groups. May do that tomorrow. Enjoy your day
@vexations - i look forward to it. enjoy your day as well.
