Mandaris"This Little Light of Mine" by VeggieTales
Think back to your childhood: What is your earliest music memory? Share that song and your story!
I think I'm pick this version of the song. We would sing this song in church and I remember having to go to kids room and sing it.
"Too Close" by Next
What was your favorite song in high school? Why did it resonate?
I don't have a favorite song
but this one was the first to come to mind.
There are a lot of hormones during high school and certain things tend to pop up and make a situation awkward. SNL had a sketch about Grind Time that hit very close to home.
"4 Page Letter" by Aaliyah
What song makes you want to write a letter?
Her music was SO good!
I used to write my wife letters on a regular basis but stopped...
I've really got to get back into that. She deserves to be told how much I love her.
"Speed Demon" by Michael Jackson
Pick a song from an artist or band that’s had the biggest impact on your life.
I think I talk about Michael Jackson a lot, but I wanted to point out this song that makes me hit the accelerator!
I really loved the music video in how it used claymation to make a fun story about enjoying speed.
"Use the Force" by Jamiroquai
What is a song that instantly energizes you?
Nice little song that hits all the important beats. I think I'll listen to it now to get in the mood to finish the day with some pizzazz.
"Springfield Soul Stew (A.K.A Memphis Soul Stew)" by The Simpsons
Share a song that changed your perspective on music.
If I recall correctly, this is the first time that I heard how a song is layered. I knew that music could have different instruments, but didn't understand how they would be put together.
"Baby Shark" by Pinkfong
What song do you wish you had written?
Just for the royalties.
"The Rain" by Oran "Juice" Jones
What's your favorite song to listen to in the rain?
I'm not a fan of the rain. It reminds me of when I would work at a grocery store and having to chase after carts while being cold and wet. People make getting out of the weather more of priority than pushing the carts in a place that they can be collected. Sometimes they would be pushed by the rain or just left in spots.
Anyway, I like hearing this song because of the plot and the hook. The music video also shows shots of the lady walking down the street with all of her possessions in a garbage bag.
DRAMA!
"The Freshmen" by The Verve Pipe
Share a song that captures the feeling of being seventeen.
Although there were a lot of good things about being 17, I don't want to go back to those days. I was feeling sad about a lot of things and really didn't have an outlet.
I just though this was going to be it.
Things got better but some of us didn't make it.
Just a statistic and ultimately leaving an impact.
"Sunday Morning" by Maroon 5
Share a song that sounds like your ideal Sunday morning.
This is my favorite song about Sunday. I just enjoy that feeling of having nothing else to do.
No rush.
No fuss.
In fact, I just checked my calendar to see if I had anything scheduled.
