Random Observation/Comment #272: Music, more than anything else, makes me nostalgic. I miss those days on the bus listening to my CD Mix and having it skip everytime we went over bumps.
Why This List?
Music has always played (ha) a big role in my life. I listen to music to set the mood and sometimes just to make me feel like I remember the lyrics to something. I sing it to myself and it’s really hard to be sad when you’re singing a cheerful tune. Here are my favorite songs that put me in those right moods.
- “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
- “The Only Exception” by Paramore
- “Happy” by Pharrell Williams – when I need to feel happy

This is an unbelievably difficult list to whittle down because I basically have the worst playlist of mixed moods I’ve ever seen. I’d be a terrible DJ. It also looks like I don’t like any female singers. I’m doubting every song on this list the more and more I read it so I’ll just post it. Stop judging me! Ahhhhh…. this was a terrible idea.
