Songs

Every so often, I go through a phase where I absolutely love certain songs. I remember a couple of years ago, I was sitting in my cube (cubicle) at work and discussing different music with my co-worker/friend M. We loved a few songs that were out at the time and made a mixed CD (kinda like a mixed tape, remember those)!!! Well, I pulled out this CD the other day and laughed my butt off. Just to name a few of the songs, there was Lean Back-Terror Squad, Lose Control-Missy Elliott, Sugar (Gimme Some)-Trick Daddy, Switch-Will Smith, and Candy Shop-50 Cent. These are just a few of the songs that we would sing and dance to in our cubes. Yes, I admit it I love rap music. Who wouldn't???? Even my mom has a mixed tape (yes, an actual cassette tape) of random music such as Jump Around, and Can't Touch This.

My love for music probably started at a very young age of 3 or 4 when my mom enrolled me in dance class. When I was a little older, my mom and I would play a game in the car. She would have me guess who the singer was. Most of the time, I would get it right. Yay, me!!! BTW, I plan on doing this with my kids as soon as I can.

Right now, is one of those phases that I mentioned earlier. My absolute favorite band in the whole entire world is Matchbox 20, followed closely by the band Train. Matchbox 20 recently came back with a new album after a very long break. A couple of weekends ago, Abby and I went out to dinner with Following Kate. On the way home, I hear Abby mumbling in the backseat. It couldn't be because I have the radio as loud as it could go, right?? Well, she is singing!!! My dream of singing in the car with my girl has finally happened. She was singing, "Let's see how far we've come!!!" Not only was she singing a song that I really like, but she was singing a MB20 song. Will she be a fan just like me??? I hope so.

Now, she sings everything. The same night that she sang MB20, she asked me a very important question. "Mommy, does Papa like the 'Low, Low, Low' song???" I had to break her heart and tell her that Papa doesn't like the "Low, Low, Low" song, but that she should probably ask him. Of course, Papa doesn't like that song, Papa likes Nickelback and country songs.

Well, in analyzing my MB20 obsession, I have come to a very grim realization. My favorite songs by them is Rest Stop. This is a song about a girl who stops the car at a rest stop and tells her boyfriend/husband that she doesn't really care about him anymore. What does that say about me? I really do love my husband but this is a really good song. Should I be worried???

Anyway, enough thoughts to ponder. I almost forgot to tell you what is on my current playlist.
