the soundtrack of my life
.
As we were driving home and jamming to "Honey I'm Home" by Shania (yes, I listen to Shania sometimes) I was thinking about the soundtrack of my life.
The last song I heard before Ashley was born was Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel. Foretelling I know.
The last before Hannah was "If the house is a rockin don't com a knockin" by Stevie Ray Vaghn. Why do I remember these things?
Songs that will be played at my funeral are -- don't let the sun go down on me by the FABULOUS Elton John, not the lame ass cover by George Michael. (actually, I do like that one), In my life by Bette Midler (the one she recorder in For the Boys) and In my daughters eyes by Martina McBride. Yes, it will be a concert, not a funeral, be prepared to pay admission LOL
Songs Hannah wants at her wedding -- Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle and "She's got a young man waiting" by Shawn Colvin (this is played at the end of Sliding Doors, a great movie and song, download it now!)
Songs that I will always cry too -- I Grieve - Peter Gabriel, Philadelphia - Neil Young, Promise to Try -Madonna, I can only imagine - Mercy Me, Christmas Shoes - Bob Carlisle.
Songs that I would strip too -- Money Cant Buy - It Annie Lennox, Young Lust - Pink Floyd, Man, I feel like a Woman - Shania Twain
I play Christmas music all year long. Me and music is like peas and carrots. I will go through 108 mp3s to get to the one I want to listen too. Obsessive.
Song that best describes me at the moment? 1985 - Bowling for soup -- "her two kids, in high school, they tell her that's she's uncool, 'cause she's still, preoccupied, with 1985
