Happy July 3rd!
So back in the day, one
of my college roomies and all around awesome pally, Ms. Melissa Layton used to
put together these awesome mix cds as Christmas presents for her room
mates.
They were really fun
because each of the roomies, Becky, Nomi, Lissa, and Me would pick out our
favorite songs of that year. And Melissa
would put those favorite tracks into a fun playlist!
She would also create an
“album” cover and theme for the CD which was always brilliant.
In honor of Melissa’s
awesomeness and her love of sharing good music, I created a playlist for
her. Yeah I know it sounds cheesy and
corny but I don’t care.
I know Lissa will
appreciate my randomness.
I chose songs from bands
she introduced to me which include Mae, New Years Day, October Fall, The
Classic Crime and Erin Mckeown (to name a few). I also put on the playlist
songs I remember all of us jamming out to in college like “Move Along” by The
All-American Rejects, and “A Million
Ways” by OK GO (we tried to learn the dance moves to that song but we just had
too much fun goofing around) , ahhh those were the days. I remember all of us singing loud in the car to
“Dark Blue” by Jack’s Mannequin and “I saw it on Your Keyboard” by Hellogoodbye
as we drove to nowhere in particular. I
would always add my “wonderful” harmonizing vocals to the songs which would
always get a laugh, I don't know why :P.
I also remember this music as we sang and danced our way
through college including the many concerts we got to go to like being able to
hear Quietdrive’s amazing cover “Time after Time” as we cheered in the front
row!
I included some new
tracks that that remind me of Melissa; “You are Young” by Keane and “Fairytale
Lullaby” by Bombay Bicycle Club. I think
Fairytale Lullaby is very fitting for Lissa because she also loves reading and
books so much.
This is for you, my
pally! I hope you enjoy this music
compilation! Thanks for the good music J
