Open up itunes and follow along. This is the soundtrack of my life. I won’t start from childhood, that would take too much effort. We’ll start with high school…
- High school: almost bad Christian music of your choice (the likes of supertones, plankeye, and 7 day jesus)
- Christmas time: Amy Grants classic Christmas CD
- Dating Jess: “She’s More” by Andy Griggs and “Everything I do” by Bryan Adams
- the city of Lubbock: anything from Creed’s Human Clay or My Own Prison albums
- My Time in AIM (the Lubbock portion): Audio Adrenaline’s Underdog album, “Pinch Me” by Barenaked Ladies, and “One Voice” by little Billy Gilman
- My Time in AIM (Portugal): “We are all made of Stars” by Moby, anything by a former spice girl, Sophie Ellis Baxter’s “Murder on the dance floor” (this one is so Europian that even itunes doesn’t carry it)
- Pre-Wedding life: Offering by Third Day, India Arie’s Accoustic Soul Album…
- Wedding Times: “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams again, Moulin Rouge soundtrack, and “I Don’t want to miss a thing” by Aerosmith
- Pregnancy (the first time around): Caedmons Call Share the Well CD, and Brandon Heaths Solider album (both make Jess instantly ill)
- Jones’ Infancy: Jack Johnson and miscellaneous piano music
- Jones’ toddler years: Beatles, Raffi, and Bob Marley (does it really matter what songs? They’re all good!)
This list is incomplete for sure, but it’s a start. There are a few running theme songs of my life. It is music that runs throughout any time period and supersedes any classification. That music is…
- Michael Jackson. He’s the king.
Thank you and Goodnight
"It's murder on the dance floor, and you better not kill the groove!"Wow, hadn't thought about that song in the last 5 years. Darn iTunes for being so American.
"Dj, gonna burn this *blank blank* house right down!"I can't believe you remember that song…it is funny cause just recently I have been asking my friends here if they had ever heard of it or her and no one has. good times.
Murder on the dance floor, haha! I ahven't thought of that song in years. You can actually see the video on youtube.
Okay, so everyone commented on "Murder" and we'll let Bryan Adams slip by (because we all like his music in secret), but "Moulin Rouge" sndtrk? Am I the ONLY person on earth that can't stand that one?At the risk of being killed on the street, I also hate anything "Grease" related. And Amy Grant Christmas? I'll bet we could both sing every word of every song just like her, right now. (is that a Homeschool thing?)
Amy Grant.. the queen of christmas, thats what i like to call her. Tara and I had some good time with "Home for Christmas". I can't have christmas without her. and Share the Well… best CD ever. Maybe its so good for Rolo and i because a lot of it is about Ecuador. The song, "All I Need (Didn't catch her name), that part of "How they learned to praise the Lord Old Style Ecuadorian" makes me cry every single time. This CD is very much apart of our 1st year in SD.
Michael Jackson? I used to be such a fan, back in the day, but I hear him now and I think 'Jesus Juice'. Oh little Jackson 5 boy, where did thou go so wrong?
uh oh Chris….. you don't know this, but the MR soundtrack was basically Jess and Ryan's wedding. you are so out of The Plastics….. you have to go over there and eat with the goth kids now.
