Write down the soundtrack of your year so far. Play it for someone who loves you.
This one is going to be so much fun, but I have to come back to it in a bit, cuz I really do need to do some homework first.
All right, so I've been thinking about this throughout the day, and I've come up with a list of songs that represent my last year.
January-April:
Bother - Stone Sour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-pXD0FXLQ8
This is my generic depressed song. Whenever I'm upset or depressed or anything, I listen to this song. It doesn't make me feel better, but I still love it.
Break - Newsboys http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0onmklwhhM
Another one of my depressed songs. This one just seems to describe how I feel sometimes.
Hold On - Calls From Home http://www.myspace.com/callsfromhome/music/songs/hold-on-26638887
I couldn't find a youtube version, so you get a myspace version instead. This song is one that I hold on to when I'm depressed. It encourages me to keep on keeping on because eventually it's going to get better.
It's Been Awhile - Staind http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=araU0fZj6oQ
Again, another depressed song... In case you haven't noticed, I really wasn't doing too well last year from about January to the end of April... hence all the depressing songs, lol. We're almost through them, I think...
Broken - Seether & Amy Lee http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CoUOrLe4vlY
Mad World - Gary Jules http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTZHSQG1YFs&feature=fvst
Okay, I think we're at the end of this depressing set. Let's move on to happier times.
May
Use Somebody - Kings of Leon http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnhXHvRoUd0
This was finally the end of the semester from hell. School was over and though I wasn't going home for the summer, I was looking forward to sleeping late and working and not having to worry about school.
Fly - Hilary Duff http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EQMVTTW1Sk
This song always makes me feel like something better is just around the corner, and while I might not have known exactly what that was in May, it was :)
June-September:
Let Love In - Goo Goo Dolls
I can't find this one on youtube, not because it's not there, but because I still can't listen to this song without crying. So if you wanna hear it, you're gonna have to find it yourself. This was the song K picked as our song, and we spent the summer texting each other every time we heard it.
Teenage Dream - Katy Perry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98WtmW-lfeE
While I don't agree with all of the lyrics ("Lets go all the way tonight"? no thanks), this is how I felt for pretty much the entire summer and it was great. I think this was the best summer I've ever spent for the most part :)
Kings and Queens - 30 Seconds to Mars http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhUya3D73sI
Well, I had to throw Jared Leto in here, cuz we all know I love him. I love the video for this song, but it's so long, so I just linked to the song instead. This song makes me happy. "We were the kings and queens of promise".
Beside You - Marianas Trench
I also had to throw some Marianas Trench in here, cuz I also love Josh Ramsay, lol. I love this song because it makes me feel like when I find that special someone, he will always be here for me, no matter what. It's also how I felt about K at the time.
Good To You - Marianas Trench feat. Jessica Lee
So this video and version of the song didn't come out until a couple months ago, but I've had the album for a while, so this song is another one that was a soundtrack to my summer. Plus Josh Ramsay looks amazing with eyeliner :D
September-October/November:
This Is How A Heart Breaks - Rob Thomas
Yeah, so this is how I felt right after K broke up with me
Alive Again - Marianas Trench http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgBf6d_8hwA
I dunno why, but Marianas Trench just always seems to strike a chord with me, no matter how I'm feeling. They have a song for everything.
I Miss You - blink 182
Most of these songs kind of say it all, eh?
I Don't Love You - My Chemical Romance
This is how it felt when he left me. Also, I heart Gerard Way
Everything You Want - Vertical Horizon
I think this song applies to most of my break ups, but that's just cuz I think I'm an awesome girlfriend and I don't understand how someone could not want to be with me ;)
Breakeven - The Script
Yup, this is how I felt as well.
November:
Hit Me Up - Danny Fernandes feat Josh Ramsay & Belly
Okay, so I really don't care about Danny or Belly, but I LOVE Josh's vocals in this song :) This is the song that I listened to for hours during the NaNoWriMo overnighter :)
Ain't No Sunshine - Finger Eleven http://www.whosampled.com/cover/view/33086/Finger%20Eleven-Ain't%20No%20Sunshine_Bill%20Withers-Ain't%20No%20Sunshine/
So for this one I couldn't find it on youtube, so you get a weird link again. Just click on the link on the left underneath where it says Finger Eleven Ain't No Sunshine. I love Finger Eleven, and I love this song. Though I definitely like Finger Eleven's version better than the original.
December:
Airplanes - B.O.B. feat Hayley Williams
I love this song too.
Comin' Home - City and Colour http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btjhdHX8pMo
Because I'm going home in two weeks :D
Famous Last Words - My Chemical Romance http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bbTtPL1jRs
Because "I am not afraid to keep on living, I am not afraid to walk this world alone".
One Thing - Finger Eleven
Because it's one of my all time favourite songs and has been for a long time.
Wow that took a LOT longer than I thought it was going to! Also, I've been a lot more honest about stuff than I have been with most people. I feel a little naked... lol
**Edited to add**
Alibis - Marianas Trench
I was just reminded of this song, and how much it reminds me of myself. I always feel like I have to put on a happy face for everyone in my life so no one knows how much I'm hurting behind the mask. I think if I had to choose a song that represents my entire life, not just the past year, it would be this song.
