Secret Oath

1000 Miles: Vanessa Carlton: This seemed to be THE song of 2002. I like the piano, so her music video is kind of fun. This song reminds me of the guy I went to my first Prom with, lets call him "Dustin". I think sometimes my mom would drive us somewhere and we would hold hands in the back seat, and that's the memory I have of this song. Also, that scene in White Chicks. Not to mention this scene in White Chicks. That alone has made me exclaim: This is MY Jam whenever a commercial, classical music, or anything that could be embarrassing come on the radio...
One Star, for nostalgia.

Your Name Here (Sunrise Highway): Straylight Run:  I don't know how, but I have a full album by them... and I don't even know who they are. This song is nice, a sad song a little... It's kind of fun cause it is giving directions to his location, where he will be waiting. One Star.

Stellar: Incubus: I've loved them for awhile, never enough to get a full CD, just songs I have heard on the radio... and I like this one. It is quiet, then it rocks out, just a good piece of alternative music for any collection. Two Stars.

Better Off Dead: New Found Glory: Ahh high school... your ska/punk scene was so lovely! This song is fun and clever when you get to the ending (Just listened to the ending...apparently not this song has the clever ending I was thinking about...). It's good for road trips, for reminiscing, for cleaning the house. (I just now had the thought, what are my kids going to think of all the music I liked? Will I like their music? AHH) Two Stars.

Shake (clean): Yin Yang Twins: The reason I got this song is because of this competition piece. I've always wanted to be spun by my elbow ever since. I think this song is racy, it isn't one that I play often, but I think it has a great back beat, and I enjoy it in my workout mix, it can pump me up. One Star.


Last Love Song: ZZ Ward: Okay, she's my newest obsession. And this song... it's good. She lists off all of the things you and her won't do, all of the things you won't have... no more... it's a heartbreaking realization for her, but it is something she must do, to write this last love song... It's good, and I am obsessed with the Adele meets Fiona Apple type gal from Seattle... (which only strengthens my love for her). Three Stars.


Secret Oath: Spill Canvas: Oh how I love Spill Canvas! I forget about them every once in awhile... and then I hear them again and remember how I love them. I remember playing this CD as my secret way of proclaiming my love to "Dave" (whom I've affectionately referred to as devil dave in the past...) Anyway, I was in love with him in 2007 on my internship, he said it could never be, but would cuddle with me and I was reading mega mixed signals... But I wouldn't stop, just like he says in this song... I LOVE the ending, how he then talks to us, the listener... Three stars.



Obsession: Frankie J: I got this from a roommates mixed CD... it's a chill R&B song, but I'm not feeling a connection.

Say It Ain't So: Weezer: Another song that reminds me about "dave". He would get tired of me playing Spill Canvas on our drive to work, and he loved Weezer... this is a slow song but it is fun, I enjoy the chorus the most. One Star.

Debussie: Daphne Loves Derby: I've loved this band ever since I met the original bassist, Jason, at EFY. I would listen to them through whatever website it was when myspace wasn't as cool and youtube wasn't around, but it was just for upcoming bands... anywho. This is one of their slower songs that I don't love as much, but the lead singer's voice is so smooth. Two Stars.
