Reminisce with Music


i decided to update my songs by adding a few classics. I added songs from my childhood which includes the likes of Weezer and Vertical Horizon. Stocked up as well on some Papa Roach and Stephen Speaks. Eclectic you could say. I don't know these songs remind me of how free flowing my childhood was. I was like a sponge just absorbing anything and deeming them vital sources of information. When I watched Jason Biggs and Mina Suvari in Loser I was hooked. By that time too I was singing along with Teenage Dirtbag. Papa Roach's Last Resort was my first and official introduction to rock music. Along with Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit. These were my Woodrose days too. Come St. Scho it was all Bring It On along with the cheerdancing moves. I remember we'd sing along to Stephen Speak's Pasenger Seat complete with voicing. We'd listen in the car going to school and it would be our sound track the entire day. Music must've really ruled my life with the way I'm reminiscing  about things. 


A few nights ago, on my way home with M. i heard "Out of My League" and sang along to it. It reminded me of what I was like 5 years back and how I thought the guy I liked then was out of my league. There was Kiss Me by Sixpence NonetheRicher and how I hoped like nothing else that M. would be there to kiss me too...out of the bearded barley, lightly beside the green green grass. I added Stop! by the Spice Girls too and it reminded me of the time we karaoke-d at Paolo Banaga's house and the girls went crazy. I have a video to prove it. Come senior year it was all Hillsong Songs because I just finished LSS and was about to take my YE. Until now I'm hooked on them. So much of the important things in my life have a song or a piece of lyric attached to them. There's Bakit Ngayon ka Lang with the memories of summer love. There's You by the Carpenters that reminds me of the Pioneers. There as well was that OPM phase where it was all about Moonstar88 and Parokya ni Edgar. 

Moments like this, when I'm trying to forget the troublesome and instead remember the good, music really does hit the spot. Right now "Deeply in Love" is playing and it reminds me of Jules. I'll go this way for a while. Need the "me" time.
