Songs I like

I got inspired by Camie's blog to add music because she had a LOT of cool 80's tunes on there. I went and added that music player to this blog, but did not make it auto-play. I must admit that there is not enough time for me to detail every song I like, but I'm able to add 99 songs to the playlist, so when I'm feeling like adding a few song I'll be doing that. In the meantime I thought of cool songs named after people, and being the family centric person that I am I'll start with Melissa. My favorite Melissa song is "Sweet Melissa" by the Allman Brothers. My Melissa also is very sweet. :) I also like "Brown Eyed Girl" for her, but it doesn't mention her name. Next up is Jesse. He has it easy! "Jessie's Girl" by Rick Springfield will make his friends envious forever. It's a darn shame that they misspelled his name, but the song is awesome and the video is a standard of how bad videos used to be in 1981, topped in awesomely badness only by Pat Benatar's "Love is a Battlefield". If you own the DVD of "13 Going on 30" you own both original music videos. For you kids reading this blog, once upon a time MTV used to be cool and play music videos. Now it sucks. Owen has a song called Song for Owen. Brilliant! It's by Timothy B. Schmit. Yeah, I've never hear of him either. I actually haven't heard the song, but the lyrics make me think of the moment that I'll say goodbye to him in the MTC when he's older. Here they are.

Do you remember

Not so long ago

When I could just pick you up

And warm your soul

We'd sit and talk about the difference between

The world of bad and good

And I was doing the best I could

Bedtime stories

Read you off to sleep

Wishing you all my love

And sweet, sweet dreams

I'd wait until you were closing your eyes

Just because I thought I should

And I'd wonder while I watched you breathe

What this crazy world had up it's sleeve

I was doing the best I could

"Time Flies"--So the saying goes

But I don't know if it's true

Because every dayd is so full of life

And so much of it is you

Now you stand-so tall

And look straight in my eyes

Longing with all your might

To be strong and wise

So on summer nights when you're driving away
I hope you understand
That this new found freedom you have earned
Worries me till you return
And I'm doing the best I can
And my love for you will never end

If you're not crying right now YOU'RE NOT HUMAN!!! Just kidding. Finally there are songs about Jeff. Yep, there are no songs about Jeff. That doesn't make me feel too bad because Bill Cosby did one of the funniest bits of comedy about a boy named Jeffrey in a plane. It was absolutely true. All Jeff's are the same. Anywho, listen to the music I posted. I'll try to update it frequently, and if you're brave enough, leave me a comment about your favorite song with your name!
