The Soundtrack to My Life
There’s nothing like a song to instantly transport you back in time. For some reason I’ve always attached songs to significant events in my life. So when I hear one, it instantly triggers a memory. If I had a soundtrack to my life, here are just a few of the songs that would be included.
“It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” by Mister Rogers – I grew up watching this show and hearing the theme song will instantly take me back to my childhood.
“Angel Eyes” by the Jeff Healey Band – In high school, this was my first love and I’s song.
“Jump Around” by House of Pain – This song represents my first two years in college. Although truthfully, it could be substituted for any 90’s dance song.
“Hey Jealousy” by Gin Blossoms – It reminds me of my courtship with my husband.
“Right Here Waiting” by Richard Marx – Song will always remind me of when my husband, who I was dating at the time, was away at Army basic training.
“It’s Your Love” by Faith Hill and Time McGraw – This is the song Winston and I danced to at our wedding.
“I Love You” by Barney – This will always remind me of my children when they were little.
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem – I listened to this song on my Ipod before pitching my book to agents at the Sleuthfest writing conference. The first line always gets my blood pumping: “Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity to seize everything you ever wanted, one moment, would you capture it or just let it slip?”
“I Gotta Feeling” by Black Eyed Peas – Hearing this tune instantly takes me back to the night I won my FWA writing award for Dead Like Me.
What’s one song that takes you back to an important moment in your life?
