Musical Monday: Turn on Those Sad Songs

From Cory's blog: www.roosmom.com

For this week’s Musical Monday, Tell us a song that always brings on the waterworks for you.

I had a few...





When my Grandma died, this song came on the radio and I thought it was a message from her telling me how she was still around...it still makes me cry everytime I hear the chorus.

Musical Monday: I hate myself for loving you

From Cory

Are you annoyed by the singer but love their songs? Do you hate everything the song stands for but can’t stop yourself from dancing to the beat? Is it annoying? Corny? Old? But you love it anyways!!! Tell us what it is!

Musical Monday: Can’t Get Enough

Before Lent...

Here's mine...totally reminds me of my guy crushes way back when....



After Lent (I started listening to only Christian Music once Lent started).....

Musical Monday: May I have this dance?

Here's mine: Lady in Red by Chris De Burgh

I'm behind on a few Musical Monday entries...

a song that reminds you of someone...

I can remember riding in the car with my real Mom and she'd have this song playing on the radio.



This song reminds me of a guy that I met when I worked at Handy Andy. I had it bad for him, but we got to be really good friends. He always looked at for me. I used to go visit him when he was at school at MSU in Lansing. It's weird how when I first met him, I couldn't stand him. I totally didn't understand his sense of humor and thought he was just being mean. Later, we got to know one another through e-mail when he was at school and I really liked him. He always went after the other girls at work who were prettier and more popular and I always would have them pegged. He got to where he never wanted my opinion as he knew I was right. I went on a double date with him to the movies and my friend went with. Wouldn't you know she left me sitting on the end so I couldn't even sit next to him. We went to see Money Train. Anyway, later on I found out that he was going to ask me out before Handy Andy closed down, but he never got the nerve to do it. I seen him at our 5 year reunion and he greeted me with a hug and we talked for a bit. When I left, he gave me another hug. At our 10-year reunion, he had just gotten married. When he saw me and the way I was looking at her (she was standing across the room), he said "I don't even want to know...just shush." I laughed and thinking about it now...it's been 4 years since then...I wonder if they're still together... Anyway, anytime I hear this song, it reminds me of him.

Musical Monday: At the Movies

From Cory's blog: www.roosmom.com

Tell me one of your favorite soundtrack songs from a movie you love.

Here's mine:

Musical Monday

Taken from Cory's blog (www.roosmom.com). She wanted to know a song that brought back a fun memory and then tell everyone what that memory is.



When I lived in Wayland, MI, we were really close with our neighbors. We moved to Wayland when I was in 7th grade and lived there until close to the end of my junior yearThey had a daughter, Tonya, that was a couple years younger than me. We used to hang out together quite a bit and one of our favorite things was listening to music and just talking. We used to sit out in our backyard on our big wooden swing and talk and sing this song together all the time and it brings back happy memories and good times. She was a really good friend and although we only talk very occasionally now, I remember the times we spent together. She was a really great friend and this song just makes me think of our times on the swing singing our little hearts out and laughing.

And I also have a 2nd song entry....anytime I hear this song it always makes me think of our pep rally's and my time in pep band playing the french horn. I loved playing in the games and all that. Those were good times and some of the best friends that I have today are old high school friends that I was in band with...and of course Andy and I met in high school and were band friends too.

Music Monday -- A Song that I Love

From Cory (www.roosmom.com)

Name a song that I love...

Music Monday

Cory asked what my favorite disco song was. Here's mine:



This song brings back memories of my real mom for me. She taught me to rollerskate when I was 4 and that was one of the big things that we did together...I can always remember skating at the roller rink and when I hear this song this is what I think of. Flying around the roller rink as a little girl...sometimes Mom would hold my hand and go around with me...sometimes I'd go around by myself and she'd skate around by herself or she'd watch me from the sidelines. But, this is definitely a song that brings back those memories.
