Saying Goodbye
[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLNkduYBJJmhwFIgCqB61pvfOn_kHNTYnD]
This was the day that my grandfather died. I was only 5 years old but very close to him. The album I Got a Bullfrog really reminds me of him. My mother told my sisters and I that he always used to listen to this album. One of the songs is Sail Away Ladies.
"Whenever I get my new house done
Sail Away Ladies, sail away
Give my old one to my son
Sail Away Ladies, sail away" -
Halloween
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ncqa7iifD8] This was halloween night. I was going to an event for my school and always wanted to be a cheerleader. My mother sewed this costume for me.This song is called Right Where You Want Me. This song reminds me of this halloween because this song was in the movie Halloweentown High.
"Take me on a journey.
I've been thinking lately,
I could use a little time alone with you.
Crazy,
Let's do something, maybe.
Please don't take your time" -
Battle of the Books
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sLqdRmwY6vc]
This was the Battle of the Books competition that I was in. In elementary school almost everyone loved the song Dynamite. This song was also played at our school play.
"I wanna celebrate and live my life,
Saying AYO! Baby, let's go!
'Cause we gon' rock this club,
We gon' go all night,
We gon' light it up,
Like it's dynamite!
'Cause I told you once,
Now I told you twice,
We gon' light it up,
Like it's dynamite!" -
Cousins for Christmas
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZ6yQgBvuoI] My cousins came down for Christmas in 2011 and I was tasked with taking care and entertaining one of them. The song Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas reminds me of this time because it was a happy time.
"Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away" -
Christmas
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUGzePWx4o] This was Christmas day at my Grandmother's house. I was crazy but that was normal back then. This song It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas reminds me of this time because it was amazing.
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Everywhere you go;
Take a look at the five and ten
It's glistening once again
With candy canes and silver lanes aglow.
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas
Toys in every store" -
Student Council
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrcNTaRPqh8] This was the day that I took the oath to be the Vice President of the Student Body. The song Mr. Wonderful reminds me of this time because this was the song that I used to listen to everyday. I loved this song in middle school and I loved this time in my life. When I became Vice President I was given so much responsibility.
"You and me and the palm trees
We could lay outside on the beach all night
We can swim with the dolphins" -
Saying Goodbye Again
Can You Feel My HeartThis was the day that my grandmother died. I was really mad for the longest time because I didn't understand why she had to leave me. The song Can You Feel My Heart helped me through that time because it helped me express my anger.
"I'm scared to get close and I hate being alone.
I long for that feeling to not feel at all.
The higher I get, the lower I'll sink.
I can't drown my demons, they know how to swim." -
Bowling
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JCLY0Rlx6Q] This was when I went bowling with two of my friends on spring break. I had my arm in a splint because of a wrist injury but I was stupid enough to go bowling with that hurt arm. The song Shut up and Dance reminds me of this time because this was the song that I loved that year.
"Oh don't you dare look back
Just keep your eyes on me
I said you're holding back
She said shut up and dance with me" -
Aladdin
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcfHV0agfXA&list=PL0eheHgLSuZCIGMeRNU0S7i6MgJF97WLF&index=6] This was during the run of Aladdin. I was a silk peddler in this show at the Old Courthouse Youth Theatre. The song Crazy=Genius reminds me of this time because whenever I would get ready for the show I would listen to this song.
"She said at night in my dreams
You dance on a tightrope of weird
Oh but when I wake up
You're so normal that you just disappear" -
Washington DC
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiQIc7fG9pA]
Washington DC was an amazing time with my friends and fellow classmates. On the bus Nya and I always played the song I Hate You I Love You. We both love this song so much because it expresses so much emotion.
"Feeling used
But I'm
Still missing you
And I can't
See the end of this
Just wanna feel your kiss
Against my lips
And now all this time
Is passing by
But I still can't seem to tell you why
It hurts me every time I see you" -
Teannah's Birthday
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_MOt0wDhXMc] This is Teannah's birthday party. This was a surprise party for her and it was amazing. The song Bad reminds me of this party because it was played at the party.
"But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I get through...
Because I'm bad, I'm bad - come on
You know I'm bad, I'm bad - you know it" -
Europe Trip
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMuUrnt0PlI] At this time I will be taking an 18 day trip in Europe with my family. The song called The Traveling Song makes me think of this time because of the contents of this song.
"I've been around the world, in the pouring rain
Feeling out of place, feelin' kinda strange
Take me to a place where they know my name
'Cause I ain't met nobody that looks the same
I'm a fish out of water, lion out of the jungle" -
University of Glasgow
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SUn4JqUTsA] This is when I will be going to the University of Glasgow in Scotland. The song If You Go Away by Frank Sinatra shows this time because it is how my parents will most likely be feeling when they send me off.
"If you go away on the summer day
Then you might as well take the sun away
All the birds that flew in the summer sky
When our love was new and our hearts were high
When the day was young and the night was long" -
Graduation
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bhNz6saaE8] This is when I will graduate. The vet program that I will be going into is a eight year program. The song It Was A Very Good Year makes me think of this time because of how much fun I will have in Scotland.
"Here's an awfully pretty folk song
When I was seventeen it was a very good year
It was a very good year for small town girls and soft summer nights
We'd hide from the lights on the village green
When I was seventeen"
