Music and Memories

Day 29, Wednesday: Five songs or pieces of music that speak to you or bring back memories. Use Grooveshark or YouTube to include them in the post

1. Duran Duran - Come Undone

On the way to San Diego in 2009.

I listened to this song almost everyday when I lived in San Diego. I would go out and walk to the coffee shop to knit while this played on my iPod. I don't know what it is but I adore this song.

2. Miles Davis - So What
My dad always played the Something Blue album. He played a lot of different music, but mostly jazz. I can remember the smell of my dad cooking dinner when I hear this song. I would usually be downstairs with him talking while he cooked dinner every night. My dad is why I love cooking and plan on going to culinary school.

3. Jason Schwartzman - West Coast

This is the song we played for our first dance on our wedding day. We had a long distance relationship for almost two years at that time so this song always made me cry. Joe had made me a bunch of mix tapes when we first met before I moved to Alaska. This was one of the songs he included.

4. Yellowman - If You Should Lose Me 

Halloween in San Francisco... Those were the crazy days.

This brings flashbacks of college in San Francisco. My roommate Stefanie and I would smoke pot all day and listen to Yellowman, Queen, and the Steve Miller Band. 

5. Ani Difranco - Little Plastic Castle
Pretty much any Ani Difranco song will bring back memories from the ages of 15 to 22ish. I worshiped her. Still do.
