Every Song Has a Story...

I wanted to add music to our blog but I didn't want it just to be random songs so I compiled a list of songs and each one has a story...

Jammin': Every since Aubree was about three we would "Jam" in the car. We would put on Bob Marley and bounce our heads up and down to the music and jam. Every time we hear it in the car we stop what were are doing and start Jammin.

Elephant Medley: When Tim & I first started dating he would want us to sing this duet together in the car. I didn't know the words so I had to look them up on a lyrics website so that I would impress him with my skills.

Seven Nation Army: As Tim & I have found out Aubree loves rock music. "Rockin Music" as she calls it. She loves this song...She doesn't know the title but simply asks to listen to "The Stripes" and then she rocks out.

If I Had a Million Dollars: We drive to Vernal a lot so we are always in the car. We put this song on a CD and we sing it as a family. Aubree & I sing the first part and Tim the second. Then we come up with a ton of crazy things that we would do if we had a million dollars...nothing that's cruel of course...

American Idiot: This is one of Tim & my favorite albums. Aubree has been enjoying it to. She calls it "The Green Band." She once asked us to explain the lyrics to her and we got into a deep discussion...She is so smart!

See You Again: Okay, so what little girl doesn't like Hanna Montana? Even Aubree likes it and I have to admit I like it too. The funniest part it that I was in the car one day with my brother Zac and he admitted to liking this song. I told Aubree and she still laughs about it.

Beverly Hills: Apparently Aubree really like Weezer. She wanted to listen to this song and we didn't know which one she was talking about. We had to go through every song on the CD til we found it. She refused to listen to any other song until she found the one she was looking for...she is so stubborn!

Our Song: So I like country and I quite enjoy Taylor Swift's album. I think this song is so cute and at first Aubree refused to listen to it cause it wasn't rock...but I convinced her in the end and now she can sing almost all the words!

Say It Ain't So: We have been playing Rockband at Matt & Breezee's house. This is one of the songs on the game. Tim & Matt both sang it but Aubree did the best. She actually knew almost all the words and the tune and did a great job...she made us all look bad. It is one of her favorite songs.

Imagine: We have been trying to convince Aubree that just because a song doesn't have so much bass you feel like you are getting a massage that a song can still be good. Slowly but surely we have convinced her of the genius of the Beatles.

So those are some songs that we listen to in the car and I hope you like them too!

I never thought about explaining why I chose the songs I did on my blog! Maybe I'll use this topic for me - thanks!!

I'm not quite sure why "you dont own me" didnt make the list. That was a pretty big song from high school :)
