Wednesday Wist (a day early)

So how do you participate in Wednesday Wist? You take your ipod, winamp, windows media player, mp3 player, itunes player..whatever you use. Put it on shuffle. Grab the first 5 songs and write what that song makes you remember. If it's a new song...and you can't relate it to a memory....do you like it? Leave me a comment if you do it on your site and if you don't have a site, comment what you would leave if you did have one. Oh...and feel free to comment about my songs as well!!!

Wednesday Wist Mix: November 8, 2005 (A day early because I won't be around tomorrow!!!)

Something Beautiful - Tracy Bonham

But I wait
I’m sinking in my skin
And I wait
My heart is wearing thin
‘Cause I’m looking for
Something beautiful
And I pray
For it to come right in
There’ll come a day
My heart is wearing thin
That I fall upon
Something beautiful
Something meaningful

This was another WCLZ song that I stumbled upon. I downloaded it on Itunes and just fell in love. It doesn't hold any "wist" for me because its not old enough...but the words speak to me a bit. I think it should speak to most people. We're all looking for something beautiful...something that means something to us. I find it every morning when I wake my Isabelle up and she says, "I you Mama."


Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Sweet home alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home alabama
Lord, I’m coming home to you

This song is from "before my time" but lately its been sounding through my home because its one of the choices on our new Karaoke Revolution game for the PS2. My roommate does such a good job on it that we hear it a lot :) The politics of this song are really easily read but still speak leagues...don't you think?

Its All Been Done - Barenaked Ladies

And if I put my fingers here, and if I say
"I love you dear,"
And if I play the same three chords,
will you just yawn and say
It's all been done before?

Once again, BNL is a group that I started listening to seriously when I met my ex. He had some of their older albums and it was my first year of teaching and so the kids introduced me to the newer stuff. I can remember the ex's and I's first date....we went to my school's Homecoming. I can remember him putting one of BNL's songs on the mix tape we listened to. This brings back a bit of wist from there....but good wist. Which is a good thing...believe me.

Elephant Love Medley - Moulin Rouge Soundtrack

We should be lovers
We can't do that
We should be lovers, And that's a fact
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time, Just for one day
We could be heroes, Forever and ever,

What a magical movie, Moulin Rouge. *sigh* once again...a bit of ex wist but it was such a fun song to sing with a boy. It isn't very often you find someone with a great voice to date :)


I'd Rather Ride Around With You - Reba McEntire

I don’t care where this road goes
No I don’t wanna turn around
Let go of the wheel feel the wind blow
Don’t even think about slowin’ down

I LOVE this song. It's one of those songs that come onto my ipod and I turn up the radio and sing as loud as I possibly can. It doesn't carry very many memories...other than for some reason it reminds me of college and Carrie's old apartment...not sure why. I have to say though....when I'm in D's car...and we're driving toward Seattle or leaving a baseball game on a warm night...this song would be perfect. I don't care where I'm going....we always seem to find a good time. It makes me a very happy girl to know I have him on my side!!
