My Life Sound Track - Part 3

2002- More Peter Brianholdt.  Enrique Iglesis- Hero. There were more good songs, but these were the ones that mattered most to me in 2002. I will never forget driving around with my roommates singing Hero on the way to the BYU game.  Mindy "I can be your hero baby," Paige paying attention to driving not singing interjects about someone making an odd turn "can you really do that"  ha ha ha. Oh yeah, and ME!! this is when I wrote my first songs- Break of Dawn, and I LUV 2 B W/U.  Weezer- Island In the Sun was also a big hit in my apartment.

2003- Me and Tiff Johns- 3rd Floor of Heaven. That was a great song, got us through a death of a friend. Also- If You could Hie to Kolob, a lot of Dwight Yokhim, and Cold Play- The Scientist. 

2004- (on my mission). Rebel Heart- Lietuva Tevyne Musu , God Be With You Till We Meet Again- Lithuanian,  A Latvian hymn we did for choir. I have no Idea what it was called but it went something like ... pieduot mani kauna, mani kauna aaaamen. Oh yeah, and Kur Ir Mana Lidsmasina?

2005- (still on a mission, heard most of these with members or on buses, or in shops)   Vivo Per Lei- the Lithuanian version,  Daniel Powder- Bad Day, James Blunt- You're Beautiful, and Vilija Mataciunaite - Spjaudau ir Gaudau.  

2006- In order to juggle French class, Russian class, and my brain still wanting to be in Lithuania, I listened to a lot of previously mentioned French and Lithuanian artists at this time, but in Russian class I found some exciting new artists  Znaki with the song Polli. Crazy Music Video, and  Zveri- Do Skoroi Vstrechi. You don't have to  understand Russian to enjoy the music videos, they are awesome!! 

2007-   Kelly Clarkson- Because of You ( like the duet with Reba the best). Weezer- Pork and Beans

2008- One Republic- Apologize,  Flight of The Concords, Brooke White, David Archuleta,It was a very Idol kind of year.  

2009- Pink. I listened to a lot of pink. Fun House. Great CD. Amazing videos, slightly disturbing. Eminem. I've always secretly loved Eminem, but this year, I think I started to openly love Eminem.  

2010- The Killers- Are we Human? , Eminem and Rhianna- Love the Way You Lie. Its just a really amazing song about a truly horrible and dysfunctional relationship, what is not to love? Katy Perry- Fire work, Eminem- Not Afraid- this is the best song ever for motivating me to not give up and to keep trying when I am feeling kicked while I am down. , Pink - Raise Your Glass (it was just so much fun!!)   Taylor swift, Sugar Land (stuck like glue), Miranda Lambert, and  The Band Perry helped me to love Country music again.

2011- Adele, Mumford and Sons, The Head and the Heart, Death Cab for Cutie, M.I.A, Adele, Adele, Adele, and She and Him. Zooey Deschanel has an amazing voice. And I will never tire of Adele. My friend Julie introduced me to Adele before her music exploded everywhere. My friend Karen took me to a Death Cab concert that was opened by The Head and the Heart. And nothing is more fun that driving around with Karen listening to Paper Planes by MIA. I found She and Him thanks to Zooeys roll on Elf, because her Baby its Cold Outside is so amazing I  had to hear more.  Eurovision also lit up my life with treasures Like Lako Je Sve, and  Drip Drop by Safira. 

2012. My heart broke. Who better than Taylor Swift for such a moment?  No one is better.  Gotye, your timing with Somebody that I Used to Know could not  have been better, I belted it. and when I was ready for healing I welcomed some light hearted "Call Me Maybe?" and more Katy Perry and Fun.   There is some really great music right now, and some crap. We are too new into 2013 for me to be sure about what will define 2012 in the long run, but I am betting Gotye, and Fun. don't quickly leave my memory. And every time I even think about trying to date an ex Taylor Swift reminds me why We are Never Ever EVER getting back together. 

                 Thirty years of music that has got me through life.  I wonder what music will define My Next Thirty Years?
