OK, so this is my big coming out post. I don't tell many people this for fear of judgement and outright endless mockery so don't you judge me! Remember, to each his own. Ready for it? I love Hanson. Yeah that's right, I said it! The once long haired MmmBop'n band of brothers are still making music and touring and I still listen. I got to see them perform at National Me to We Day in 2007... ahhhh, that was a great day. Anyways my point is this: Everyone has different tastes and connects to music in different ways for different reasons and I love that; it brings out part of your uniqueness.
The other great thing about music is how it can make me remember a certain time in my life or specific event so vividly like a weird flashback sequence in a sitcom (ie. Monica in the fat suit at Ross' college party.) "Shoop" by Salt-N-Pepa takes me back to the awkward afternoon dances in middle school and "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla was playing while driving to my sister's wedding reception - I was in the back seat, the sky was blue, the window was down. "Everything Will Be Alright" by Joshua Radin puts a newborn Paxton sleeping on my lap in his glider and "The Banana Boat Song" always makes me think of Chris mainly because he purposely sings the lyrics wrong every time just to drive me nutty! LOL The list goes on and on and on.
Music can make me happy, sad, energetic, or mellow. I have so much fun with it! What's your flashback trigger?

Great post honey, as always. But I just want to go on record saying that I really do know the words.......I think.
I have a lot of song triggers but they tend to be sad ones. There are a few that remind me of you though...so a few happy ones! Nautical Disaster by the Hip cause it was the first album I bought from good old Columbia House and we talked about it in our little group of 4 in gr.9 Geography. And Fly by Sugar Ray reminds me of the coffee shop you worked at :)
Ever sing a little Baby Got Back for Pax?!
