I've been listening to a lot of music lately and thinking about how I identify certain songs or albums with different times in my life. The songs don't necessarily reflect what was going on with me at the time but they just remind of certain things, see the list below and post some of your own.
Moondance - Van Morrison
Christmas in grade 4 or 5. My mom had a CD that Adam gave her with some Christmas songs on it and I remember falling asleep while hearing this playing in the living room some nights at our old house on Manchester Crescent.
Californication(album) - Red Hot Chili Peppers
The summer after grade 10, when I finally started to get out of my rap/hip-hop phase. This was one of the first albums I enjoyed start to finish along with Audioslave's self titled album.
Learning to Fly - Tom Petty
Basketball with Adam and Luke at Christmas time in grade 11. This was on a Tom Petty CD that was played constantly in my dad's car.
Stadium Arcadium(album) - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Summer after grade 12 before starting at university, I always played this album on the way to Parlee beach and Gordon Falls.
Release - Pearl Jam
I really enjoy this song now, Pearl Jam opened with this one at their concert and I can't stop listening to it!

ReplyDeleteI remember Van Morrison's Moondance from then and from earlier.
i remember you playing 'Clocks' and 'Yellow' in McAdam...Coldplay...think it was on your computer? remember?
Well, time to print out our boarding passes!!!!! yayyy!
Moondance was one of 'our songs' when I first met Adam. The others were 'Rasputin' by Bony M, 'The Passenger' by Iggy Pop, 'Brown Eyed Girl' (also by Van Morrison) and one more that I can't remember, but I bet Adam knows it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to more blogging! Looks like you'll have to change the name of your blog to The Binks World Aventure.
