I heard about this challenge
to make a playlist about your life, and I decided what the hell, I'll give it a shot.
It starts in high school, and ends, well...22 years later.
Psychadelic Furs - Pretty In Pink (The one who insists he was first in the line was the last to remember her name - yeah, I was that girl)
B-52s - Deadbeat Club (My junior and senior year girlfriends and me, we sang this all the time)
Sugarland - Already Gone (My mom reluctantly letting go of the first of four to leave her nest)
Jeremiah Clark - Trumpet Voluntary (So I got married when I was 21)
Dee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart (Then I got to go back to college which was awesome)
Tammy Wynette - Stand By Your Man (So yeah, I walked in on him with another woman, but I was 2 weeks from delivering our first baby and I didn't leave him because I was too afraid to be alone.
Loudon Wainwright - Daughter (Everything she knows, I taught her)
Avril Lavigne - My Happy Ending (Um, exactly, so much for that, "hey, I know we have this eight week old baby but I'm leaving you)
Garth Brooks - The Dance (SHUT UP, all of you) (And the lyrics, honestly. I could have missed the pain, but Sophia...yeah, she's The Dance. Had I known how things would turn out, I'd never had agreed to have another baby. But I can't imagine my life without her)
Hole - Doll Parts (You will ache like I ache)
Flesh For Lulu - I Go Crazy (Falling in love again)
Darling Violetta - Sanctuary (Discovering fandom)
Michelle Branch - Goodbye To You (And it's hard to want everything and nothing at the same time)
Patty Griffin - Rain (I just want another chance to live, played on auto-repeat while I sat at Kari's ICU bed for months)
Pink - Sober (Ummm, yeah, so I'm still working on this one)
