At the same time I started thinking about this, I also got re-interested in a music site called Pandora--it lets you create your own radio station based on music you like. So I created my own station called Nick's Soundtrack. You can click on the link and listen to my soundtrack if you like. Now it doesn't just have the songs that I added, it also plays similar music.
Here's the soundtrack, starting with my first favorite song:
- Another Day In Paradise - I got this tape for Christmas the same year my brother got Hangin' Tough.
- Anna Begins - I dated a girl on and off for about 4 years in school. I used to think that this was the story of our relationship. I listen to it now and I realize it's the story of me getting over our relationship.
- Travelin' Prayer - An early indication of bluegrass tendencies?
- The World Has Turned And Left Me Here - I used to sit under my bed (it was a loft) and listen to Weezer for hours. I was actually a member of their fan club. And I had a green Weezer hat.
- Mona Lisas And Mad Hatters -
- Anybody Out There? - The best song on the best Christian album ever. I guess that could be argued :)
- Power Of Two - This was our wedding song. We probably should have picked something by the Kelly Family, but that's a story for another post.
- Stomp - I once saw Kirk Franklin in concert. White people as far as the eye could see... trying to dance. It was a trip.
- Sparrow - Gwenn and I fell in love with bluegrass listening to Kickin' Grass in a mall.
- Nothing But The Blood - The best song on the best Christian album ever. I guess that could be argued :)
- Resolution - I started listening to the Supertones in high school--I still do. If you're ever having a rough morning in need some motivation, this punk band with a horn section and lead singer that spits when he raps will give it to you.
- This Is Me - "Delicious Acoustic Harmony-Driven Gender Pop"-- whatever that means...
