Day 6 - A Song that Reminds you of Somewhere

"Smooth" - Santana feat. Rob Thomas



In high school, each year for Term 3 in PE we did dancing. Each year we had to learn a different ballroom dance and then we had to perform it in the final week. In Year 9 the dance was the cha cha. I loved the dancing classes because I was half-way decent at it and we didn't have to get changed into our PE uniforms to do it, so it was the only term I actually didn't mind participating.

So yeah, we were learning the cha cha for 6 weeks and every week we would spend an hour doing the steps alternating on a loop between this song and "Sex Bomb". So now to this day, every single time I hear this song it transports me immediately back to the school hall lmao

Day 6 - A Song That Reminds You of Somewhere



Yep, Glee. I'm cool. But yeah, every day driving to school senior year me and two of my friends would listen to Glee stuff on the way to school, and this song was always my favorite (because Lea Michele's voice is orgasmic). Every time I hear it I feel like it's 7 AM, 2 years ago.

[Klippy]

Day 06 - A song that reminds you of somewhere



Devil in a Midnight Mass - Billy Talent
This song, and all songs by the band, remind me of my sophomore year summer. I know "somewhere" is a time, in this case, but I couldn't think of anything more fitting than this since the songs always put me back there.

[Razor Leaf]

ok next

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event.

Californication - Red Hot Chili Peppers



It was a bit hard to pick this one for me because most events are things I associate with people, but this'll do. I first picked up my own guitar on my 7th birthday and immediately decided that I wanted to learn how to play ALL the songs. Starting with this one. I remember I wouldn't put the goddamn thing down until I could play it which, fortunately, didn't take all that long. But yeah - first song I learned to play on the guitar. Or at least parts of it anyway.

Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event



So this past year, I learned to play guitar. With the whole Acoustic Friday thing mentioned somewhere earlier my friends told me I could sing. I still don't think I have a good voice Me and my two friends had been doing open mic nights, but I had never sang at one. My friend told me I was singing this time. This was the song. It's just attached to the night where we were on the outdoor stage at the open mic night, me crapping my pants and nervous as hell, and where I sang in front of actual people for the first time.

Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

Again, I have a boring life so I tend to make up scenarios. Haha

Strobe - Deadmau5 (For Lack of a Better Name, 2009)



This is a song that reminds me of times when serenity comes. It's not a certain event but it's it's just whenever. I feel like I'm flying when times like those come. I feel wonderful listening to that song...

Day 7 - A Song That Reminds You Of A Certain Event

Hurtful - Eric Hassle



Bad event. Very bad. And I'm sorry.

Day 6 - A Song that Reminds You of Somewhere

[Ashes in the Snow by Mono]

Spoiler:

Okay. This one was a little bit tricky. I tend to visualize places and scenarios while listening to songs more often than relating them to places. Likewise, this song doesn't remind me of anywhere in particular. I suppose it reminds me of somewhere peaceful. Somewhere like an empty road on a cold, dark and snowy night. It is a "place" I have been before, and this song just articulates it so well.

Day 7 - A Song that Reminds You of A Certain Event

[Wonderwall by Oasis]

Spoiler:

Okay, so what event could Oasis' Wonderwall possibly remind me of, right? ヽ(*・_・)ﾉ
It reminds me of my first time on stage. My first time on stage singing in front of a pretty large audience. Yes, and Wonderwall was what I sang. Although I was really really super nervous at first, I felt really good afterwards. This wasn't too long ago either, so yeah, definitely a vivid memory.

Day 06 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

The short, but fun, time I spent in my schools drama group. Oh, that theater! This was one of the many songs we'd sing over and over, though it was agreed by all that I should just stick to the acting and not the singing.

Spoiler:

Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event.

A breakup, of all things, that I'm not particularly willing to go into.

[Renyui!]

Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event



Invaders Must Die - The Prodigy
Oh god, yup, my friend hosted a rave last Friday. Dude was playing The Prodigy Megamix. Pretty self explanitory.

[Sweet Candace]

Day 7 - A Song that Reminds You of Something



Flirtin' With Disaster - Molly Hatchet.

I think of NASCAR every time I hear this song. It just drips with references.

[Shining Raichu]

Day 7 - A song that reminds you of a certain event

"Save Tonight" - Eagle Eye Cherry



This song played at my Year 10 formal (it's like prom but we have it at the end of what Americans would call our sophomore year because the last two years are not compulsory so they like to have one while we're all still there) along with a slideshow of photos and videos from the last four years of high school, and it made me really sad even though most of the people who were leaving were people I didn't particularly like. It was just one of those 'end of an era' things that you get sad about regardless of whether you really should be.

But yeah, now every time I hear that song I get transported back to December 2006 and that moment at the formal lol

[d4rka8isz]

Day 07 - A song that reminds you of a certain event.



Seriously. This song actually reminds me of the day I moved. I moved right after I finished 6th grade and on that day, I had listened to this song while laying down on the bed. It's hardly ever played nowadays so whenever I hear it, I get reminded of that one day when I moved.

[Razor Leaf]

Sorry I forgot to update this yesterday! But updated - it's day 08 now. I'll do my song later.

Day 08 - A song you know all the words to.

Should Have Gone To Specsavers (The Harry Potter Song) - Arse Full Of Chips



Yeah I have a lot of songs that could fit into this, and this is the first one that springs to mind. Possibly worryingly. It's a fun song though so I don't care too much! A friend and I are gonna learn this one. n____n

[Jake♫]

Since this list is way too long, I played eenie-meanie-minie-moe on my shower playlist and picked this =P

[Wings Don't Cry]

Day 06 - A song that reminds you of somewhere

Spoiler:

Anchor Me By Green Peace



This song was a tribute to the rainbow warrior a boat that was carrying some environmentalists and some foreigners decided to test their explosives in the area and ended up sinking it. Ironically though the remains became a home for fish. Anyway the song features a group of singers from New Zealand so it naturally reminds me of the place.

Good Riddance by Green Day


We had to sing this song on graduation night in Primary so I always remember my last day of primary school when I hear this song.

Day 8 - A song you know all the words to


True Colours By Cyndi Lauper


Quite a random song for me since I'm not a particular big fan of Cyndi Lauper. Nor was I around when this song was popular but I just happen to know all the lyrics to this song.

I've recently come to be ADDICTED to this song, I love Azealia Banks. I've made it my mission within the past few days to be able to rap all the lyrics with herwithout missing a beat and so far I'm not there, but i'm getting close. I'm getting close.

[Shining Raichu]

Day 8 - A song you know all the words to

Well I don't mean to brag, but...


I got obsessed with this song around Christmas time and I was listening to it on a constant loop so many times. I made a challenge for myself to sing along to it and I did it as many times as it took for me to get all the words right. So now I know them XD

[Sweet Candace]
