This has got to be the toughest list! Seriously...
I'm trying, but seriously, Megan and I were texting about this, I've been going through songs since this topic was announced! I realize too, that, I'm not sure what the writer's intent with all of these songs are, only, what they mean to me (which I do a heinous job of explaining). But that's what is so awesome about music!
So, here's my narrowed list.
1). Basket Case by Green day
My number one song (which also has the only song that immediately popped into my head for today's prompt) is Green Day's Basket Case! I remember it being the first song I discovered on my own (i.e. not my parent's music) as a kid, and I am quite sure that's why they became my favorite band! It's my second favorite song of theirs (after this one).
2). True Believers by Bouncing Souls
This song is such a great sing-a-long! I love still how it makes me feel inside! It makes my tummy warm and my heart flutter! IDK why, but it really does. It's a lot like love, this song (for me at least). This song is one of my favorite, mosh pit, put-your-arm-around-a-stranger-who-is-now-family songs!
3). Light My Candle from Rent
This was the first song I ever heard The Tenor sing. He sang it in passing, and I knew the song from the movie version, of the AMAZING musical: Rent! I like him before, but, hearing him sing this: I was SMITTEN! (We also like to sing this together...cause we're dorks).
4). Linda, Linda by The Blue Hearts
This was the first song I learned in Japanese! It's a great Punk rock song, by a legendary band! It's also the title inspiration for an adorable movie: Linda, Linda, Linda (which I originally only watched because of my love for the song, but, I totally own, and, recommend). Also, my brother and I sang this at Comic Con for a Japanese channel (?) while at SDCC! I LOVE this song!
5). Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want by The Smiths
I feel like I was really late on The Smiths. I wasn't a hater, but wasn't a liker of them in my adolescence. I did come to appreciate them in my mid-20's. Gosh, I wish I could explain this, but, I guess, I could just sum it up with: The Smiths...(please tell me that is sufficient lol).
BONUS TRACK! (you know me)
For Good from Wicked
It's a great song, and reminds me of all of my friends, and, life experiences. But, also, in 2009 I went with a group of girlfriends to see Wicked, and my BFF hit me on the knee and nodded at the stage meaning "us" The song makes me a bit teary-eyed thinking about it.(Also, Idina and Kristen are goddesses of song!)
