Song Challenge- A mash up!

K so here is the thing...

I am lazy.

Also, this is sort of time consuming trying to find videos. And again, I am lazy. 

ha!

So I am just gonna do a big long list mash up! 

Day 17 – A song that you hear often on the radio

Honestly I don't ever really listen to the radio anymore. But when I did listen to the radio a song I used to hear all the time was

Katy Perry- California Gurls.

Day 18 – A song that you wish you heard on the radio

I hate the radio so my only answer is.

ANYTHING THEY DON'T PLAY! 

;)

Day 19 – A song from your favorite album

My Favorite album lately is Sara Bareilles new album : Kaleidoscope Heart.

My favorite song from the C.D is 

Machine Gun.

Such a fun song!

Day 20 – A song that you listen to when you’re angry

I don't like to listen to angry music when I am angry. I do like to listen to upbeat and fun music when I am angry. It balances me out. So when I am really upset I will listen to  

She & Him: Don't Look Back

Day 21 – A song that you listen to when you're driving

Oh man! This one is hard. I don't much like to listen to the same thing over and over again. The girls do but I don't. My girls have 3 songs that They love and could listen o on repeat if I let them! I don't! ;) 

Mak HATES car rides and there is ONE song that will calm her down no matter what! 

The Beatles- Hey Jude

Day 22 – A song that you work out to

Um,  do I work out??? 

Maybe sometimes I guess and when I do I like to listen to upbeat but not pushy music. My workout music is probably way different than others. I want to be distracted by the words and not feel over worked by the beat. I like to listen to 
Ingrid Michaelson or Honorary Title

Day 23 – A song that you want to play at your wedding
George Strait- Cross My Heart

We did play and we did dance!


Day 24 – A song that you want to play at your funeral
I really don't even want to think about this. So I wont.

Day 25 – A song that makes you laugh
Owl City- Dental Care.
Seriously if you guys have never heard this please go find it somewhere. It hilarious!

Day 26 – A song that you can play on an instrument
Does "Chopsticks" count???? Haha 
I don't play any instruments but I can sing. So if that count I would say
All of them ;)

Day 27 – A song that you wish you could play
I would love to learn to play the piano so I could play
Mae - We're so far away

Day 28 – A song that makes you feel guilty
Um... What is this supposed to mean? I have no idea...

Day 29 – A song from your childhood
Beatles- I wanna hold your hand.
I soaked in SO many different styles of music growing up. Except for late 70's music.. I never heard much of that but I have remedied that... Sort of. But we ALWAYS listened to the oldies station in the car with my parents and The Beatles were always my Favorite!

Day 30 – Your favorite song at this time last year
I am gonna be really Predictable here and say this
Airplanes-B.O.B. feat. Hayley Williams


And Scene.....

Day 16: Song Challenge

Day 16: A Song you used to love but now you hate

Modest Mouse: Float On

After a while the shaky labored sound of their voices in this song with the notes all dragged out just BUG.

Day 15: Redo

So AGAIN I couldn't find a video that would work in the us or post to blogger so if you are so inclined you can look it up!

I doubt any of you are that invested... Haha I guess though you could just be curious.

This really took a while for me. Dale and I have been scouring our iTunes library searching for a song that describes me. He thought of this one but didn't think I would like his suggestion but i had been thinking it too! ha ha so here it is.

A song that describes me is : Kate Nash- Mouthwash

I love listening to it mostly because I am a HUGE fan of that accent she has. But also the song is really fun! ha ha

Day 15: Song Challenge

Day 15 is supposed to be a song that describes me. I can NOT think of one. I have tried. I don't know why I cant think of one... but that's why I am a day off on this.

Maybe I need help with this one.

I think I know what Dale would pick. After all, it is the song he has programmed to be his ring tone for when I call. He says it describes me perfectly but that song is in Portuguese and he is biased and the song is from the view point of the boy in love so that doesn't help me.

I am trying to think of some awesome funky song and not a cheesy one but I cant think of anything.

I will put some more thought into this. we will see. Maybe I will do this one at the end and just keep going on with the challenge...

Day 14: song Challenge

Day 14: A song no one would expect me to love

Metallica - Nothing else matters.

Growing up I got introduced to a huge variety of music. Metallica was one of those bands played often in our house in one or more of my brothers rooms. My all time favorite of Metallica's is Enter Sandman but I couldn't find a video for that song that could play on blogger. Any Metallica song will pretty much do though. I find the music relaxing. Especially this song...

Day 13: Song Challenge

Day 13: My guilty pleasure song.

I couldnt find a video that worked on blogger so I guess you will just have to find it yourself. hahaha
I refused at first to listen to this song simply because of principal ;) but i heard it somewhere and I had to get it and put it on a cd. The girls love it and it cracks me up to see Mak sing along with it. It really is too cute. I will put a video of that up soon.

The song?

Justin Beiber- Baby.

Ya, I just said that....

Day 12: Song Challenge

Day 12: a song from a band you hate 

Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man

I know I have different taste in music. At least Dale thinks a lot of my choices are weird... But either way, I cant stand this band. I am not sure why. The sound just bugs me. Or maybe its because they play the guitar with a violin bow... not sure. Either way I have no idea why so many people enjoy them...

Day 11: Song Challenge

Day 11: A song from your favorite band.

Brick By Boring Brick - Paramore

Day 10 Song Challenge

Day 10: A song that makes you fall asleep

Katie Costello - Isn't it Lovely

Just listen to it. I am 100% sure it will make you a little sleepy. And in the studio version there is a saxophone playing in the background... Even more snooze inducing.

Day 9 Song Challenge

Day 9: A song that you can dance to.
The Ting Tings - Shut Up and Let Me Go

When I first heard this song I couldn't stand it. Then when it was a free download on iTunes either Dale or I got it. Now, I know this probably isn't the best song word wise to dance along with your kids to, with all the "shut-ups" but the girls and I love the beat and we hop and and down and dance around to it all the time! It really settles a grumpy mood to have a good dance session with my girlie's!

Day 8 Song Challenge

Day 8 Song Challenge: A song you know all the words to.

Bare Naked Ladies : one week

I know all the words to a lot of songs but it has taken me a week to figure out a song that's actually impressive that I can sing ll the way through.  Dale cant believe I can sing this fast. He still think I am just slurring noises to sound like I am doing it.

Sure its impressive but I'm not sure I should be proud ;)

Day 7 Song Challenge

Day 7: A song that reminds you of a certain event.
Natasha Bedingfield: These Words (I Love You)

This song reminds me of my honeymoon.
This song had just started playing on the radio and as we drove to and from Flagstaff and around Flagstaff we heard it a lot. Then one day we turned on the tv to MTV and this music video played. Every time we happened to turn the tv on, this music video was on. Dale was in love with it because he had only been home from his mission from Rio De Janeiro for 5 months and this video is shot on the Copacabana Beach! It honestly made him quite homesick to watch it. Still does....

Day 6: Song Challenge

Day 6: Song Challenge- A song that reminds you of somewhere.

I loosely translated this.
I haven't been much of anywhere and really the only song that reminds me of a place I have been is California by Phantom Planet.... I wasn't gonna go there, so this is what I came up with!

The Format- The First Single (you know me)

This song puts me back in time to two different places.
1. Driving around in high school with all my friends blasting this song (or any other Format song for that matter) as loud as we could with our windows down and clapping along with the song!

2. Neds Krazy Sub. I worked there for a couple years in high school and when I worked nights this song seemed to always be in rotation while we were closing up. It kept us active, moving and awake after a long night.

Day 5: Song Challenge

Day 5: A song that reminds you of someone.

Every time I hear this song I think of my best friend Ashley Mortensen that passed away just over 2 years ago. When the song first came out I remember her and I trying to figure out what the song meant. We came up with a lot of things. Most of the things we came up with made no sense. :)  Mostly we just tried to figure out if it was a good love song or otherwise... whatever that meant. 

Gravity: Sara Bareilles

And I am sort of in love with this video. So different.

Day 4: Song Challenge

Day 4: A Song that makes you sad.

The first time I heard this song I cried. More than I think I had with any song before. I think because I could relate so well with it. I heard this song and immediately felt like I was back in jr high. Awkward and hated by almost all those around me. Judged and threatened by anyone who would look at me. I spent those 3 years of my life hiding. There were a select few friends (and by select I mean 3 that I can name personally besides my family) that pulled me out of my slump and allowed me to be who I really was.

Marie Digby: Miss Invisible

Song Challenge- Day 3

Day 3: A song that makes you happy

If there is one song that can put a smile on my face, no matter what my mood, this is it.

Fun and quirky.

Song Challenge- Day 2

Day 2 of the song challenge: Your least favorite song.

"If you cant say nothin' nice, dont say nothin' at all"

Worst song EVER.
Wont post a video.
Wont even make you listen to it.

Just 3 words and I wont say anything else.

"Honky Tonk Badonkadonk"(Trace Adkins)

30 Day song Challenge - Day One

I Have seen this challenge on a few blogs and a little on facebook and I have been wanting to do it for a while so I am just gonna do it. I like the idea of trying to search through songs and trying to find songs that fit my definition of these subjects!

I have always been told that my taste in music is a little all over the place so you might be surprised by a lot of these and you might not. My friends, while I was in high school, would turn the radio on and try to stump me with different music.

Never worked.

Day One:

My favorite song.

I have SERIOUS trouble trying to pin point my favorite song ever. Whenever someone asks me this question I always say "It depends." And that's true, it depends on the day it depends on at what point in my life you are asking me about but the other day I heard a song that I hadn't heard in a LONG time and I thought "I could listen to this song over and over again."

It sort-of surprised me.

And the original music video is sort-of really a tear jerker....
