My Life in Song: Part 1


It's been a while, I know, but unfortunately I have been busy with the end of the semester and wrapping up a wonderful year of coaching ballroom. Anywho, I have decided that the next few posts are going to be inspired by music. I love music and listen to it almost incessantly. In fact, I have had a few roommates who have said I listen to my music a little too loud. This may be true, but music is a release for me. It gets emotions out and allows me to think. It helps best when I run. (I guess I should clarify a little, I don't play or write music, as much as I would like to, I just listen to it.)

Along with this, I believe it shows my hopeless romantic side. The first of the two videos that will appear in this post is by Carly Rae Jepson and is titled "Call Me Maybe." The thing I like about this song is that it would be great if a girl just came up to me at random and gave me her number. I wish I could say it has happened before, but that would be lying, and we all know where liars go. It would be one of those things that would just make my day. the other part of this video I like, that helps add to the song, is her playful nature, trying to get the boy's attention without making it look completely on purpose. The only part of the video that would not apply in my situation is the ending. Nope, would not happen. But, in all, a great song, and a well done video.


The second song is a long time favorite, at least since it came out. It is by the lovely and very talented Colbie Caillat and is called "Fallin' for You." Again, I am drawn to this song by the fact the the girl comes outright and says, "Hey, I like you." It would make life so much easier for that to actually happen rather paying this game of "Guess if the Cute Girl Likes You or Not." Another aspect of this song that I like is that fact that it's alms an unexpected attraction to the guy. Almost as if saying, give someone a chance and you'll be surprised what they can show you.
