challenge: top ten

for this top ten (it can count as your monday post if you want) chose the top ten most memorable or influential songs of your life and put them in a play list (go to playlist.com to create one). then write a little bit about a few of the songs. here's mine in chronological order:

1. a better son/daughter by rilo kiley: i listened to this song a lot after my brother died. it is sort of an anthem for me: things are going to get better. the drum really drives that feeling.

8. amazing grace on the bagpipes: my mom absolutely loves this song and bagpipes. to me, it represents her.

9. what a wonderful world by louis armstrong: my dad loves "sachmo" and would always sing this song when i was growing up.

10. el shaddai by amy grant: when my family went on road trips we would always bring along the collection of amy grant tapes. this is one that i remember sing along to a lot.

the other songs all held meaning at different times in my life. no children by the mountain goats was the song that got me hooked on them :]

i can't wait to hear yours!
