Tonight while shane was sitting on the couch and i was kneeling in front of him i was thinking about you!
Actually, it started earlier today when i was driving home from costco ($409 spent thank-you very much) i was feeling a little anxious about money and the money i had just spent. I have a few cd's that i listen to in the car since my iPod was stolen. Usually i'm not in the car long enough to get through any of them. But, since costco is 30 minutes each way i listened to most of this particular mix and at the end was one of, actually probably my most favourite song ever, rebound (acoustic version) by sebadoh. I know the majority of you will have no idea what that song is and that is really not the point.
The point i was pondering was how favourite songs speak volumes about a person when you really listen to them.
The first time i heard rebound was when i working at the radio station at UVic. I was at the tail end of my own personal hell which was a double major (my chronic overachieverness here) in english honours and women's studies. I loved english. Every single book. Even chaucer. Women's studies, however, took me on a wild ride that was a little like a martini - one part insecurity, one part lesbians, one part post modern theory with a dash of patriarchy, shaken - i felt so confused. So unsure of where i was in the world and how the hell i was going to figure it all out.
Anyway, a boy who in retrospect would be on my freebie list, scott w. gray, asked me to come listen to the song in one of the mixing booths. I broke down in tears halfway through the song because it spoke such volumes to me. It still does.
So, what's your favourite song? Why?

"Live Forever" by Oasis. I'm not even an Oasis fan, but the song just BOUNCES me into spring weather and happiness. I get giddy and start opening windows for "fresh air" even when it's -30C.
I'm totally song-attached, though. I have a song for every mood, every situation. :)
