Don’t Hate Me…

Do you ever get a song stuck in your head?  I know, I know, silly question, because I’ve never met a person who doesn’t.  And according to my father, that as a songwriter, that’s kinda what you want because then obviously, you’re song is doing well.  But I mean a song or songs that you haven’t even heard of or thought of in years – a song that you would be embarrassed to say you know, let alone, that it runs through  your head at random times based on certain “triggers”.

Like old school Christian ones… yeah you know what I’m talking about – who just started singing “Down with the DC Talk” (aka Luv Is A Verb)?  Or “Big House”?  Okay, so those of you who didn’t, you’re totally missing out (and here’s a link to a super hot music video I’m sure either I or Karissa have these Cd’s lying around in storage somewhere, maybe you can borrow them, and one day you’ll be graced to have them stuck in your head.

Well, those 2 aren’t the ones that are stuck (though it totally brought memories thinking about them and how “cool” we thought they were, and they may be there the rest of today as I have now dredged them up from the depths).  My “vices” are probably even worse…

First is probably the best of all, but still… It’s Elton John’s “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” – yes, also religious as its a verse from the Bible… but whenever Morgan and I get mad at each other, this goes through my head… I  hate it, it’s like the way my conscious really gets to me…

Just saw one of her cd's is going for $24.99 on Amazon.. guess "good" music never dies!

Next, “God is In Control” by Twila Paris – and subsequently, I always think of getting my teeth extracted, as this is what was playing on the radio when I had 4 adult teeth removed and I drifted off to sleep – it was pleasant then, now it’s a broken record and makes me think of big, blond hair and flowery church dresses.

Last, is Point of Grace’s “Life, Love, and Other Mysteries” – why? Who knows, but this song apparently got shoved in the crevices of my memories and comes up when I least expect it – sometimes logically – like when someone says “other mysteries” – please, don’t start saying this to me or I may get back at you by singing   But really, it is the most random and it brings me back to Jr. High and the cool Christian concerts.. Point of Grace & 4Him, Newsboys, Jesus NW, there are more, but I think my memory has blocked those for my sanity).  Oh wow, now I’m thoroughly embarrassed.

But I’m hoping that admitting my faults I will be able to move past them and that of course, if you have gotten some song stuck in your head, that you do not hate me for it:)  Consider it my gift to you – a walk down memory lane.
