I think of you when I hear Taylor Swift. Someday I'll teach Behr that and he'll have some sort of odd response about how ugly and "old" she is. That's an odd thought...

The only song that comes to mind right now that has a memory attached is "Mean." I don't listen to Taylor Swift but when I do hear it it takes me back to last summer and an afternoon I spent with friends from church. In the midst of our goofiness, we sang it.

This summer definitely had a few songs that take me back...and it was only 6 months ago. Not even that long ago, really. :) "Summer Girl" by leighton meester, and "Long Hot Summer" by Keith Urban were two critical ones. :) I SO know what you mean...not weird at all, btw:)

This song...

Always takes me back to when I was little sitting in the car looking out as we drove through Yellowstone National Park, and just that whole beautiful long road trip. When I hear it, it makes me want to cry. I think it's because I remember thinking the whole "Gettysburg" soundtrack went SO well with the majestic surroundings. Sometimes when I try to recall that trip, I just play this soundtrack and all of these memories flood back and remind me how incredible it was :).

Also, this specific song from the same soundtrack...

Makes me smile and takes be back to when we were driving late into the night on the same road trip and I would sit up front and keep Dad awake while the others slept in the back. The fun peppy little fife in this song made this track my favorite on the cd and I would do a little dance with my fingers on the middle console as Dad watched me, smiled so big, and whistled along...wow, that is one of the most special memories I have of my Dad and I...and I've just told you and I don't think I've told more than three people these memories, thoughts, and emotions of mine...I hope it made you smile because it's really making me happy reminiscing these memories :').

I'm so thankful God put it on your heart to write this blog post and share your memories so I could share mine and remember how blessed and wonderful my life is :) :). Thank you, Kristen :)

Every time I hear "Big Green Tractor" by Jason Aldean I am 17, wearing aviator sunglasses, my windows are down, my sun roof is back, and golden summer wind is blowing my hair. My sisters are with me, we are heading to town to blow money and run errands for Mama.

Thanks for the reminder, Kristen :) I can't wait to hear more of your stories.

Love the BOH song. One of mine is New radicals- you get what you give... crying with my best buddy the night before I left town to go start college back in 2000.

My mom rocked all her babies to sleep with the song "I love you Lord" and I sang it to my little siblings when I rocked them to sleep as I got older. It's so special to me.

Phil Keaggy songs take me back to 10 years in a row of week-long camping trips in Delaware, (Cape Henlopen!) and driving through Pennsylvania countryside at sunset on the way home in the truck, with sand in our pockets and crabs riding in the back. :)

"You and Tequila" by Kenny Chesney is the song that played when Mom and I pulled up at my friend Chloe's apartment so I could photograph her birth, and saw the ambulance and police car waiting outside, lights flashing, and us not knowing what was wrong or that she was so close to death. Tears come with that song.

O, you are most definitely not the only one that feels the way you do about music! What's coincidental is that I had the same thoughts you wrote out in my head this morning, listening to a song.

Can't wait to read more blog posts. :)
