Day 27 - A song that you wish you could play

On bass guitar, I wish I could play "Granger Danger" from A Very Potter Musical :)

Day 26 - A song that you can play on an instrument

I can kinda play the bass part of Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" on my bass guitar... And I can play lots of different songs on clarinet. My junior year in high school, I played the clarinet solo in "King Across The Water" by Sean O'Loughlin. Here's a recording of the song (though not done by my band, haha):

Day 25 - A song that makes you laugh

Ha, it's a YouTube video, but it's still hilarious (and I've never taken any Spanish): "The One Semester of Spanish Spanish Love Song" by runawaybox.

Day 24 - A song that you want to play at your funeral

This is kind of a depressing one, haha... I guess I'd want to have one that's kind of optimistic, since everyone there will know that I'll be going to a better place, going back home to Heaven. If I had to pick now, I guess I'd say "With Hope" by Steven Curtis Chapman.

Day 23 - A song that you want to play at your wedding

Of course, it'll depend on the guy I end up marrying, but I think this is such a great song :)

"I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman

Day 19 - A song from your favorite album

I don't know if I have one favorite album, but I do quite enjoy Hot Fuss by The Killers! "On Top" is probably my favorite song on the album. :)

Pretty much any song by Two Door Cinema Club... particularly "Something Good Can Work." :)

Day 11 - A song from your favorite band

As I've previously mentioned, my favorite band is Franz Ferdinand :)
"Bite Hard" is one of the best songs from their new album "Tonight"

Day 10 - A song that makes you fall asleep

I have a whole sleep playlist on my iPod, but they're all built around this one song: "Fade Together" by Franz Ferdinand. It's like a dark lullaby... listen to the lyrics and you'll know what I mean.

Day 09 - A song that you can dance to

Basically anything by Michael Jackson, haha. "The Way You Make Me Feel" is a particularly good one for me, though :)

Day 08 - A song that you know all the words to

Hm... that pretty much describes every song in my iTunes. XD
One of the songs I'm really proud I know all the way through is "The Saga Begins" by "Weird Al" Yankovic. It's 5 and a half minutes long. :)

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

The Click Five's "Just The Girl" reminds me of the moment I really began to understand why my brother did the things he did (namely, dating this girl who was mean to him!).

Day 06 - A song that reminds of you of somewhere

Whoops, I skipped yesterday... I'll just do 2 posts today!

A song that reminds me of somewhere... that would have to be "Auf Achse" by Franz Ferdinand. It reminds me of riding in my family's RV at night, lying on my back on the kitchen booth seat... and going on vacation in general.



And also The Great Gatsby... probably because I listened to that song quite a few times when I had to read said book over spring break one year. But also partially because it reminds me of Gatsby's situation in the novel. Haha.



It's kind of a sad song... but it's a good one. :) Give it a listen if you haven't heard it before!

Day 05 - A song that reminds you of someone

Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" makes me think of my uncle who passed away January 2009. It makes me a little sad to hear it, but I feel better knowing that his suffering is over and try to remember the happy times with him.

Day 04 - A song that makes you sad

This is a bit harder... I'd have to say "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry (which, btw, I got on iTunes for free before it got popular!)

Day 02 - Your least favorite song

I don't know that I have a least favorite song... I mean, we all hate it when certain songs are overplayed on the radio. And I personally don't care for a lot of the music on my dad's iPod.

Of course, there is this song...
