My 7

I was tagged by Girl top name the top 7 on my playlist (I am so envious of her nifty music plug in too!)... I have so many more than 7, so it has taken me almost a week to sort through the 10+ thousand songs that make me all tingley these days. I like the way Canape put it "it required me trying to decide if these seven songs were going make me look stupid. Then it required me realizing that the previous statement must mean that I'm still 12."

These are the songs I hit "repeat" on just so I can listen to them a few more times. They are the songs I don't think I will ever get sick of.
My playlist probably won't be as cool as some people's- but it is mine....


Let me begin by saying that it was difficult to choose my favorite from most of these artists- because I can listen to ANYTHING they play and be happy- call me a music junky... might be because in my heart of hearts it is what I always have truly wanted to do.

"The Luckiest" by Ben Folds
Yes, Yes, I know it is on Girl's list too, but I listen to this song every single day. See, it is Bum's and my song. He sat me down right after we got enganged- and said "This is my song to you." I had never heard of Ben Folds or his "Five" before this song- and it made me an instant fan (Zak and Sara helped too). My family didn't get why we danced to this- but I do. My husband's heart is this song, and we are, really, the luckiest.


"The Stone" by Dave Matthews Band
Live at the Woodlands is my favorite version. Probably one of the hardest choices I have had to make... Picking one Dave song to put on this playlist. We have every CD he has ever made. It adds up to almost 750 DMB songs on my playlist. Cookies' first concerts were Dave- while she was still in my belly. It is her favorite to listen to as well. Poor kid- she is gonna be a Dave junky too. I picked the Stone- because I like the heavy beat, and I can listen to it 2 or 3 times before I move on to the next song.


"Home" by Marc Broussard
This man has SOUL. If you haven't listened to him- you need to. He is going to be huge. His voice tears at the pit of my soul. I love this song. It has a driving rhythm- and I love his voice. LOVE IT. He has a new CD out June 26th and I can't wait.


"Look After You" by The Fray
I remember driving down to Golden to watch these guys in battle of the bands in highschool. I am so proud of them!! Bum can't stop listening to them-- and I love the meanings behind each of their songs.


"Baby Mine" by Alison Krauss
Originally from Dumbo. This is Cookies' song. I sing it to her every night before bed. I sang it to her while she had colic and it was the only thing that could calm her down. I cry every time I get to the end of the song. Silly I know, and I should just skip that part- but I can't because it is the most important part.
"From your head down to your toes
You're not much goodness knows
But you're so precious to me
Sweet as can be
Baby of mine"
Sniffle. That's my girl.


"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood
This is my shower song... You know- the song you sing at the top of your lungs when you are all alone in the shower or the car? If I were a recording artist I would have picked this song. It is sassy and fun. I dream of being sassy and fun, so there you have it.


Am I at #7 already? CRAP... I had a plethora of songs that I wanted to share... Maybe I will have to start a "Blogboard Top 20" to pass out to the world. Not today-- but soon! It must happen! Okay- #7...


"I Still Believe" by Jeremy Camp
Great artist. Great voice. Not for everybody- but he makes my heart happy.

Wow... that is all that I get. I am really a lot more eclectic than this list allows- but these are at the top of the playlist these days. To be continued..........

I tag Krisand Lizzie... there aren't more cause Girl took everyone else!
