Remembering Summer 2010 - Music

You know how hearing a certain song transports you back in time to an exact moment. The sights, the sounds, the emotions? Music has always been a part of my life. Dad had music on in the house all of the time and through that example, I have had a love for all kinds of music – except opera and rap.


At the start of this summer I bought a couple of CD’s. The Black Eyed Peas, Nickleback, Lady Antebelum, and Frank Sinatra.

Good music and fun to listen to.

But one of my employees had music on ALL of the time that he was working in the office and not your typical office approved type of music —mostly RAP music ------and I LIKED it!

I would beg him to stay logged in to a certain music website so that I could hear the songs I liked over and over. Of course some of them I had to make sure I turned down the volumn ‘cause of a couple of swear words that were dropped in them – which is SO against the HC, but I kept and continue to keep listening to them.

Here are a couple of songs that will always remind me of the summer of 2010, a website address that you link to have a listen, and a super brief glimpse of my memory that is attached to it.


Black Eyed Peas – Party all the time   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIBQ5rOqSTw
Driving home from work late – night after night – and just going for long drives to release the stress.


Usher – OMG   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RarrjkoYVoQ
Midnightish drive to Sonic and this song was played for me. I think this is the song of the summer. Parking lot right before the Sonic in Provo.

Justin Bieber – Eenie Meenie    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prmmCg5bKxA&ob=av2n
This was the first song of the aforementioned internet music site. This song reminds me of sitting at my desk in Heritage and working. (he has lotsof songs that remind me of sitting at my desk)

3oh!3 – My first kiss    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYC2FUutdKA
I heard this song at night again on a drive on my way to In&Out – on State street in Orem

Shaggy – It wasn’t me
- Not a song a “good LDS” should know like – so hence no link for you. Coming home from a evening game, driving through BYU campus, music blaring.

I don’t have exact moments that these songs remind me of, they are just part of the summer music memories
