Music and Memory

 This prompt was actually pretty difficult for me simply because I have soooo many songs that bring back core memories for me. But, these are my top three,

    1. My first Music and Memory song is Sk8er Boi by Avril Lavigne. 

    Anything Avril Lavigne in general brings back so many memories because I looved her when I was younger. So much so that I even convinced my mom to let me dye the tips of my hair red with kooliad when I was in the 5th grade😬. Anyway, this song specifically brings back many memories. Growing up my older cousin lived with us and her favorite artist was Avril Lavigne and her favorite song was Sk8er Boi. This is genuinely one of the first songs I even have memories of. She passed away a couple of years ago so every time I hear this song she is who I think of. It brings back all the good memories. 

    2. The next song is Mr. Brightside by The Killers.

So this song immediately when I hear it I can hear my entire family in my ear singing it. For some reason about five years ago my entire family went on a big beach trip and all stayed in a big house together and this song was played/sung at least 10 times a day no joke. Most of the time it was just one or two people who would start singing it and then everyone would just join in until we were all screaming it at the top of our lungs. And just to make it even better, I don't even know the actual words to the song I just scream whatever sounds right at the time. 

The last song that I picked is, These Are The Days by Lauren Daigle. 

So, if you know anything about me you probably know that I am a big Lauren Daigle fan. Many of her songs are connected to many different memoires but this one is one of my favorites. A couple of years ago I got the opportunity to go to Nashville to be a part of this album release event for the second half of her last album. There was a select group of people that go to go to this event so we all hung out the whole weekend together. A couple of months before this trip Lauren Daigle released the first half of her album and this song was on it. So, this song became like our trip anthem anytime we were all together doing anything. So, now anytime I hear this song I think of the trip and all the lovely people I got to met and all the cool things I got to do. 

Here is a a perfect example.

Here is a picture of me putting glitter on Lauren Daigle's face at the Blue Bird in Nashville. Probably one of the coolest things I have been to.
