Certain songs remind me of different things/have different connotations for me.

Gravel by Ani DiFranco makes me think of my first year Women's Studies class when I had to walk across a frost-bitten campus to get there at 8 in the morning - because my mp3 player at the time arranged the songs alphabetically by artist, this was always the second song played.

Do You Love Me (Now That I Can Dance)? by the Coasters makes me think of this warm summer night walking home from a great party [slightly tipsy no less], singing and be bopping around to it while two good friends walked behind me like parents.

Michael Jackson, especially our song, The Way You Make Me Feel, makes me think of Kyle since MJ is one of the only artists we agreed to love.

Under Pressure by David Bowie and Queen reminds me to calm down and be happy.

Red Red Wine by Bob Marley reminds of a cozy, candlelit late night with Kyle in our pajamas.

Joni Mitchell is my mope and lovely music all at the same time [I still adore her though].

The Beatles in general make me incredibly happy.

I like cooking to Beirut, Alphabeat or sometimes Regina Spektor.

Skinny Love by Bon Iver reminds me of an old boyfriend even though he told me not to ruin the song with the thought of him. Bloodmeat by Protest the Hero he was fine with though.

Most musical soundtracks like the ones from Thoroughly Modern Millie, Chicago, My Fair Lady, Victor/Victoria and a lot of crooner/jazz music makes me want to bust out some broadway moves and serenade my Dodie.

Sea of Love by Cat Powers reminds of this one night walking back from the gym to my res room and it was snowing.

Wonderwall by Tom Petty reminds me of walking down a main street with a bunch of friends after bowling and my friend Jess and I belting out the chorus to it [even though I had never heard it until then].

System of a Down makes me think of all the high school parties my friends and I had in Meggie's basement.

and Led Zeppelin is the perfect painting music.
