You know how songs can trigger a very specific memory? Today we had a street barbecue at our school, and they were playing all sorts of music, and some just made me think of very specific moments in my life.
Gavin DeGraw--I Don't Want To Be
I haven't heard this song in so long, and it reminded me of this very specific moment where I was a senior in high school, riding home with Nicolette and Kristen, (and maybe Heather D?) and I remember them all talking excitedly and nervously about the Spanish Honors Society induction that was coming up, and how they were all happy about being in it. I remember feeling so jealous that I was not included in this conversation, because I was just under the requirements for SHS. I had one B that brought my overall Spanish GPA down just a smidge enough to affect my never being able to be inducted in the society, EVER. I was so upset for some reason, and looking back, I am still a bit upset that I was so close (yet so far away). But, all that would've done for my life would be something to put on my "resume" to apply to colleges...and that probably would've gotten me nowhere special.
Regina Spektor--Fidelity
I remember blasting this song on repeat when I was packing up last year to go home for Thanksgiving Break. I probably left about an hour later than I normally would have had I not been dancing and singing around my room!
It also reminds me of the episode of Veronica Mars (where I was introduced to it and hated it...I later learned I loved it) where her and Logan sneak off to make out in the library...and how much I miss that show.
Any other songs that remind you of anything?
