Music of My Life part Deux- The Second Decade

1992-  Reba McEntire- The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia ( I think my love of this song was so intense it worried my mom, since it was it was about murder),  Tanya Tucker- Two Sparows In a Hurricane,  Kris Kross- Jump ( yes, I did indeed wear my clothes backwards. Its really hard to get jeans on backwards, and sip them up propperly.)

1993-  ACE OF BASE!!! the entire The Sign Album.  Does He Love You- Reba and Linda Davis,  Travis Tritt - T-R-O-U-B-L-E.  I listend to The sign almost no stop for the next, hum 4 to 20 years. I made up skating programs to it, after mama mia came out, I tried to make a musical using it. The Sign has and still does define my life.  The duet with Reba and Linda was just cool- they blew up a boat!!, and Travis Tritt, it is thanks to you that I learned how to spell trouble. I still sing that song anytime I have to spell  T- R- O - U- B-L- EEEEEEE!!

1994- Bolero. I have no Idea who played it, wrote it or whatever. But, Torvile and Dean skated to it and that changed my life.  Rednex- Cotton Eye'd Joe. All I will say about this song is "had it not been for Cotton eye'd Joe, I'd been married long time ago."  Its true, I said it.  Brian Adams, Sting, and Rod Stewart- All for love. I melt. I melt.  The Cranberries- Dreams. SO Pretty!!  and Enigma- Return to Innocence. I can't even describe how much I still love that song.  I made up skating routines to it too.  and finally Beck- Looser. It took me a while to figure out he was saying Looser in spanish in the chorus, but that song always has the effect of making me feel like less of  a looser when I feel like one. Thanks Beck for shaving your face with some mace in the dark, and burning down a trailer park. 

1995- Sophie B. Hawkins- As I Lay Me Down.  some of the songs on that casset tape dropped the F bomb, I was disappointed. But I loved As I Lay Me Down, and I sang it for my solo in eighth grade choir the next year.  Weezer- Buddy Holly. I made a parody. I had windows 95, the music video was on there free. I watched it a lot. I thought the lead singer was super hot.  Alanis Morisette- Ironic.  I was so sad about the guy in the plane. Also TLC - Don't Go Chasing Waterfalls.  It was just so 1995. 

1996- Summon The Heros- the sound track of the 1996 Olympic Games, Power of the Dream- Celine Deon. Seriously, I listened to them non stop.   Spice Girls- Wanna Be, and Los Del Rio- Macarena.  great songs I still sing and dance to. I even made up a jump warm up routine for myself to the Macarena a year or so ago.  Wierd Al- Amish Paridise. Ok yeah, I still know all the words. Sheryl Crow- the entire If It Makes You Happy album.  Finally Celine Dion was a major slow dance song hit at my Jr High with  Its all Coming Back to Me Now. I still remember that party, with the pool, and the dancing, and the boy I said no to dancing with because I was too shy.  Oh Yeah and NO Doubt the entire Tragic Kingdom CD

1997- THE BEATLES- Free As a Bird and the release of Beatle Anthology made my whole class quite obsessed with the fab four.  The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony- I still love Love that song.  oh and Elton John's Candle in the Wind 1997, I still remember Diana's funeral every time I hear that song. OMG-How Bizzare- my French friend Laetitia and I used to go crazy dancing to this song and singing along.  Finally TUBTHUMPIN- Chumbawumba. I dont drink, but drinking songs are the most fun to sing.  Honnorable mention to Jewel. and to White Town for -  Your Woman. Things were gettin crazy. 

1998- This year is defined by my trip to France.  Madona- Ray of Light, Ricky Martin - the whole Livin the Vida Loca CD, Eagle Eye Cherry- Save Tonight.  Pascal Obispo, Mylene Farmer, and a lovely african dance hit called "Yakalelo" Oh and I think the chicken dance factors in here somewhere. Yeah, that trip to france forever changed my life. 

1999/2000- the year I graduated from High School. Sara McLaughlan- I Will Remember You, LeeAnn Womack- I Hope You Dance, Weezer- The Sweeter Song,  and Six Pence None The Richer- Kiss Me, also the French 80's group Telephone with their song Cindrillon was the key to my senior project, and I loved it. Saddest take on cinderella ever, but to such a catchy tune.  Green Day's Good Riddance helped me shed a tear and say good bye to my family and high school. 

2000- The college part of the year was very very much MXPX, and Dixie Chicks. they ruled my world, at opposite extreems of crazy, as well as Newsies, which got a reprieve when one of my roommates bought the  movie and the sound track. mmm Newsies. =) 

2001- Peter Brianholdt, and Colors ruled my second year of college. If you aren't from Utah, there is a chance you may not know about these two AMAZING bands, but you should check them out. 


and that ends another decade of my life in music.  One more to go!!
