The Soundtrack of Me's Life: 5 Songs up to the age of 10.
Last night my boyfriend and I were lounging around watching Up in the Air for the umpteenth time (I don't know why we are so fascinated with that movie, every time it's on HBO we watch it completely) and suddenly we start talking about how great the soundtrack is... and it turned at how each and every person has sort of a soundtrack of their lives.
Bingo, an idea for a post. Let's try to see if I can honestly remember at least 5 songs, five little songs that take me back to being a certain age. I won't cheat, I won't Google any song list from those years. This has to be by memory. Little by little I will try to see how much can I come up with.
Join in the fun, will you?
Here is my five songs that I can remember when I was a kid.
Fuck off if you think I'm old because of the songs. I don't look my age, at all. Hehehe... Let's begin.
Up until the age of ten years old, my songlist would be:
1) Silly Love Songs - Paul McCartney
I just remember watching my mom on her Windsurf on a beautiful day, she was single... sometimes I miss us being that way. She used to play the radio really loud at the beach... And yell from the ocean that I come and hang on to it as she would sail away...
2) September - Earth Wind and Fire
I used to ask for that song almost every time she drove me to school. I also remember when she dressed up to go dancing and all I thought was... damn when I grow up I want to be like her. I also remember her 23rd birthday and the huge candles I placed on her cake...
3) Wasted on the Way - Crosby, Stills & Nash
We had a sailboat (little). I can remember it playing somewhere inside while I splashed around in the ocean. Weekends were awesome. This song takes me back to being relax, doing nothing and being happy.
4) Woman - John Lennon
I can remember the day he died, still. I was raised on The Beatles and Lennon. The LP's always were on "play" at my house. Music was a very important deal, and the Beatles were sacred. I will do the same with my kid.
5) More than a Woman - Bee Gees
My house was all about fun. Mom and I would twirl and dance on the weekends, playing the music full blast, laughing... Every time she played this song she would grab me by the hands and we'd go crazy dancing all over her little apartment.
This was a great experiment! Now I'm kind of melancholic but in a cool way. I miss being that young and little, I miss spending that amount of time with my mom but I know that I did have that time and that I enjoyed every little second of it. If you are wondering why I don't remember anything else... I blocked a lot because of my dad leaving. My center and my strength was a little woman that decided to keep me and not move on.
The most important things are the ones that you remember forever, I guess.
