The Soundtrack

So to continue on what I started last night before time squeezed me.

I guess I'm like a lot of people in that I typically have a song that serves as a "soundtrack" for a particular point in my life. Not so much that the song defines that point, though I guess in some instances you could make that argument. It's more of listening to a particular song after the fact taking me back to a certain time. Kind of like that Clint Black song which plays "Ain't in funny how a melody/ can bring back a memory?/ take you to another place in time/ completely change your state of mind."

The cool thing about YouTube is that you can call up things like that pretty much whenever you want. I didn't wonder if I could put my "soundtrack" together from YouTube, because I already knew the answer. I could go back further, but I'll start in spring 2006, my last semester of college.

Spring 2006: The Outfield - "Your Love"

Late Summer 2006: The Clash - "Train in Vain"


Fall 2006: Hinder - "Lips of an Angel"

December 2006: Lagwagon - "Know it All"


Early Spring 2007: Eminem - "Superman"

Late Spring 2007: Paul Thorn - "800 Pound Jesus" *
I couldn't find the Paul Thorn version of this song, so the Sawyer Brown one will have to. I like Thorn's take better, but Brown's isn't bad.

Summer 2007: U2 - "Mysterious Ways" & "Vertigo" *
(This isn't actually a video for either song. It's a highlight of UGA's 2006 15-12 win over tech. It seemed like I was watching this video a lot when I moved into my new place in Seattle in July 07)

Fall 2007 (1): Soulja Boy - "Crank dat Soulja Boy"

Fall 2007 (2): Feist - "1 2 3 4"

Spring 2008 - Linkin Park - "Bleed it Out"

Late June 2008 - BoDeans - "Good Things" *
This is pretty much where YouTube fails me, but I knew it would here. This video pretty much stinks, but it's the best one I could find. See the lyics below:


Sunlight fall down on the fields
Sunlight fall down over me
Work all day, be all that I can be yeah-heh
Say I can say words only simple
Say I can say words only clear
But, oh, I can feel your heart is beating near. Yeah-heh
Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you
Give I can give love and attention
Give I can give all time away
Only to one heart I can give today.
Be I can be man full of color
Be I can be man black or white
But only to one heart I can be tonight
Haunted love is all that I feel, when you're passing by
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you
Haunted love is all that I see, it's there in your eyes
And I say
No, no, no, don't pass me over No, no, no, don't pass me by
See I can see good things for you and I
Yeah, good things for you (and I)
