Music Player Shuffle

Put your music player on shuffle and write down the first 10 songs to play.
Ok. I'll do it.

1. "Apacha Rose Peacock", Red Hot Chili Peppers (Album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik)
This is great because Red Hot Chili Peppers is hands down, no contest, my all around favorite band. It brings me back to hot sweltering summers, biking to the pool on the daily, some quality memories with a best friend I've currently lost touch with, and my first ever, old, beat up, car.

2. "Do You Know?", Enrique Iglesias (Album: Insomniac)
There are a lot of songs which remind me of my year of working at Jacob Lake Inn near the Grand Canyon in 2007. I would run to the water tower, or along the trails to "Jacob Lake" to lots of Enrique Iglesias. It's one of those songs I love to blast, with the windows rolled down, on an empty road to wherever.

3. "With You", Chris Brown (Exclusive: The Forever Edition)
There are a few artists that will FOREVER remind me of my soul mate Meggae Reggae. Chris Brown, Rihanna, and John Legend being among them. Megan is honestly one of my best friends (though we are not in the best of contact right now). I met her at Jacob Lake as she went to work there for the summer also! She helped me through a very difficult time in my life. She became my friend in the middle of one night when I crawled over to her bunk, dragged her out into the vanity area and basically spilled my whole life story to her. I didn't know her. She didn't know me. But she sat there, drinking her soda, listening to me explain why I was there that summer. Megan, I love you. You saved my life. You didn't judge me. And from that day I've considered you my birdie, my soul mate, a best friend, and someone I miss and think about all the time. I miss our 3am talks!!

4. "Not Your Year", The Weepies (Album: Say I Am You)
Ahhhh.... The Weepies. They take me back to my 1st semester of college. Specifically it reminds me of the times I'd study in the TSC right up against one of those HUGE windows. Fall, leaves falling. Hot chocolate. And just trying to figure out my college career and where I wanted it to go.

5. "Another Postcard", Bare Naked Ladies (Album: Everything To Everyone)
Sarah Russak Kent. I don't know why this reminds me of you, but it does. Driving around in her little white Toyota. We used to go up Smithfield Canyon ALL THE TIME, do you remember?

6. "Video Killed The Radio Star", The Buggles (Stars On 45)
A movie comes to mind: Empire Records. Man, I haven't seen that movie in awhile.......

7. "Your Song" , Moulin Rouge Soundtrack
This is one you just gotta belt out. I'm glad this one came up on my shuffle. I kind of forgot this soundtrack was on here. And now you all know what I'll be doing with the rest of my morning.

8. "Suck My Kiss", Red Hot Chili Peppers (Album: Blood Sugar Sex Magik)
Old school RHCP. So great.

9. "You Are Not Alone", Michael Jackson (Album: Blood On The Dance Floor)
My older sister Jasmin was really and is still really into Michael Jackson. Who doesn't love Michael! Seriously though?! Musical genius. If there's an artist who takes me back to my childhood, it's this guy. Jackson Five man, this brings back memories.

And lastly.......
10. "Snow", once again Red Hot Chili Peppers (Album: Stadium Arcadium)
My favorite album from these guys. I was serious when I said they are my favorite all time, all around, any time, day or night, favorite band. These guys came to SLC one summer and I totally missed them. It's on my bucket list to go to one of their concerts. Pretty attainable if you ask me.


This was fun!
