Movies & Music

I love movies and music, however movies are my love.  Ironically, though, it seems lately I have shifted to more music.  When I looked at my most played songs I noticed that a majority of them are from movies and special times in my life.....not just songs that I like.  Most people love songs because it reminds them of certain times of their lives.  Just like Pesci from With Honors when he picks up rocks, each song concretes a moment within your life that you will never forget.  So here are some examples from my most recent most played list........

1.  The Touch - Stan Bush - The lead song for the 80's Transformer movie.  I showed this to my son and he loves this movie......one should wonder why I have listened to it lately. :)

2.  Sway - Bic Runga - Originally on the first American Pie movie, and one of my favorite songs, recently has moved forward on the play list as I think someone out there could sing this and make it even better.

3.  Theme from Superman - John Williams - I saw Superman Returns within 48 hours of my son being born in a midnight showing while he was asleep at the hospital.  That's how much a die hard Superman fan I am.  My son and I now play super heroes all the time and Superman is the fav.

4.  Wild Horses - The Sundays - This version I heard for the first time on a Buffy episode.  One of my favorite TV shows of all time and one of the most romantic.....this brings me back to thinking that love is always possible.

5.  A Little Fall of Rain - Les Miserables - I love musical theater, and this was the song that cemented it for me.

6.  The Music of the Night - Phantom of the Opera - I left the musical genre at one point and this is what brought me back.

7.  Drive (Deftones Cover) - The last song at my sisters wedding.  Everytime I here it it reassures me that I will be back there one day.

8.  Alright - Darius Rucker - Played at one of my best friends weddings down in Playa.  The words are simple and the idea as well.  I will be alright when she is there................

9.  Steal Away - Robbie DuPree - I really hate this song, but it reminds me when one of my best friends and I were in college and we tried to come up with songs that you couldnt get out of your head.  This was the crowning champion......

10.  Consider Me Gone - Reba McEntire - Really easy.....listen to the song and you will know.

11.  Every Day I Live - Gateway Worship - My fav at the church I attend now.  The people there are great and gives me renewed faith in those within the world.

12.  Chicken Fried - Zac Brown Band - The last verse about those that serve remind me of my best friends Matt and Chris who I look up to. 

13.  Kiss a Girl - Keith Urban - Right where I am..... :-)

So, how about ya'll.  Any songs that bring great memories or goals for you....?????
