Half Moon Rising
Artist: Younder Mountain String Band

This song reminds me of my childhood, of traveling, of times when I was truly and completely happy. Have to love my mom for forcing me to listen to all the weird music out there :D
Note: Bluegrass. Not country. BLUEGRASS <3

The Grand Pecking Order
Arist: Oysterhead

Again, have to love my mom for forcing me to listen to all her weird music as I was growing up. I hated it for the longest time, but as I grew older, I also grew to love it. Oyster head has a lot of cool songs, if you like this one, I suggest listening to Shadow of a Man. It's a nice little creepy song :D

In Bloom
Artist: Nirvana

This song- along with many others from nirvana- brings back memories from my trip to Colorado a few spring breaks ago. The trip itself was good and bad, for many reasons. But this song reminds me of the good times I had on that trip. Even though a lot of it sucked, I liked it in a few ways :)

He's the one who likes all our pretty songs
and he likes to sing along
and he likes to shoot his guns
But he don't know what it means
Don't know what it means~

I Can Tell That We Are Gonna Be Friends
Artist: White Stripes

I first heard this song in the film Juno, but this is another song that reminds me of my colorado song. This biggest reason I love this song is because it kind of makes me sad. It makes me think of my childhood; I didn't have any friends. It makes my heart tight because it makes me think of what could have been, how it would have been if I had had friends. My younger years weren't the best, but it brings me back to my childhood and makes me think. There's a lot from my childhood I don't remember, more than most people. But this song brings back memories that I've suppressed.

We don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side-by-side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
When silly thoughts run through my head
Bout the bugs and alphabet
When I wake tomorrow I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

White Houses
Artist: Vanessa Carlton

I was introduced to this song through my close friend Chelsea Landis. She and I, though we didn't have much time to spend together before she graduated and left, became instantly close and realized that we have more in common than most. I love her and she has introduced me to some AWESOME music :D I'm very lucky to have met a person like her; she's one of the people who are truly good, inside and out. She is an example of what a human being should be <3
