I've been very absent lately from not only this
blog but a lot of my The Introvert Archive social media. I've been spending a
lot of time lately trying to better myself and set myself right from a bit of a
bad patch- but I'm back on track now, at least from the time being. During my
time away I've been spending a lot of one getting active and working out, which
of course you can't do without a bit of music. I've found that the mood of the
music doesn't actually affect me at all so I can seriously listen to whatever
while I'm working out and as long as I don't have to listen to silence I'll be
all good. So I have a playlist for you today, songs that I listened to during
my childhood, the absolute bangers that I hear and think !!!! I remember this
song !!!! If you go to my Spotify- profile name is Elyssa Giedraitis- you can
find a playlist here
- Thnks fr th mmrs- Fall Out Boy
Honestly this was probably my first FOB song ever
and the reason I started listening to the whole pop punk kind of genre. I LOVED
this song, seriously it was my first ringtone on my shitty little Nokia that I
had, probably cost me like $2 to download it.
- Chasing Cars- Snow Patrol
Every god damn time I here this song do you want to
know what I think of!!! The season final of Greys Anatomy season two when Denny
dies, that is what I think of. My heart still breaks when I watch the episode.
- How To Save A Life- The Fray
We may as well chuck this one in here too because
this reminds me of Greys Anatomy every time I here it. As the promotional song
for season three how could I not relate this to the show, which reminds me I
need to start again- from the start.
- Crazy In Love- Beyoncé
What tween girl didn't love a bit of Beyoncé to get
you hyped up for those lollie filled ragers that were school socials! I
actually saw some photos the other day from what I wore to said socials and let
me tell you I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking but my parents should
never have let me leave the house ever.
- It Girl- Jason Derulo
In my school the highlight of leaving primary
school behind for year 8 was the fact that in the third term you got to go on
an all week sporting trip called "Country Week" and it's all the
smaller school that aren't in the city coming together for one big sporting
competition. Every year the Tuesday night is all about the river cruise (it
still is, just ask the two of my sisters that went this year!) and the teachers
would allow you an hour and a bit to get ready for said river cruise. In year
eight this song was in the top charts and I still remember this song being
played over and over in the girls room while we were getting ready (and the
distinct smell of Impulse).
- Rescue Me- You Me At Six
Okay Christmas when I was about 13 I would say, I
got this little pink MP3 player and back in those days it was the LimeWire
illegal downloading days and this was the first song I downloaded to put onto
my new iPod, I walked around thinking I was soooo cool listening to this
song.
- Low- Flo Rida featuring T-Pain
Another one that I distinctly remember
"getting low" to (now referred to as the slut drop) at school socials
in the art room. Usually people only danced in their art room because it was
dark and no one could laugh at you (not really), if it was held in the assembly
area no one except the real confident kids moved from their spot because it was
waaaay to brightly lit.
- Poker Face- Lady Gaga
Back when we were younger, a lot younger, my friend
and I (I won't mention her name but she'll read this and shake her head at the
memory) would have sleepovers and during said sleepovers we liked to think we
were spectacular dancers and choreographers. At this time Lady Gaga was all the
rage and I remember a hideously preformed dance/acrobatic type thing that's was
staged outside at my parents house and incorporated a very large area-
including the pool and area and I think ended with an argument over who had
better ideas. These days we jus like to get drunk together!
- Voodoo Child- Rouge Traders
I used to LOVE this song, and I remember my uncle
coming over and being like "oh yeah I went to their concert" and as a
child I was soo impressed by that, like god I was so jealous.
- Ridin' Solo- Jason Derulo
Woah I didn't realise that Jason Derulo had quite a
few hits back in the day- haven't heard much of him lately though, he still
alive or? This song was, and probably still is the single anthem of all time (along
with Single Ladies by Beyonce). But I do remember when my first high school
boyfriend (cough, who also happens to be my actual boyfriend now, cough) broke
up with me on year eight. It wasn't an actual relationship- it was a very
awkward thing that I think was more just for "omg I have a boyfriend"
factor and lasted like a month. But that heartbroken little year eight used
this as her anthem post break up and probably even posted the lyrics on her
Facebook page- because that was the cool thing to do back then okay.
- 3AM- Matchbox Twenty
This song was defiantly something that I listened
to because my mum used to listen to it, and back then my CDs would get
scratched as hell and I would have to go and steal hers if I wanted to play
something in my little pink, transportable CD player.
- It's My Life- Bon Jovi
Another one that was one of my Mum's favourites.
This was her signature song to listen to while mopping the floors and we were
confined to outside because heaven forbid we step on her wet floors!
- 7 Things- Miley Cyrus
God this song was my JAM back in the day, of course
everyone loved a bit of Miley- pre-VMA performance. I definitely remember
rocking out this, complete with head banging and not correctly measuring the
space between my bunk bed and my head and as you can imagine this did not turn
out well.
- Shake It- Metro Station
In year 3/4 i had the coolest teacher who used to
let us listen to music while we were working (her music of course) and this
song got played a few times.
- We're All In This Together- High School Musical
Around the same time the school decided to create
this event called the performance project and it was a competition between our
school and two others, to create the best performance. Our end song was a very out
of time choreographically attempt at this song. On the actual day of the
performance in front of a whole hall filled with people the music stopped
during this song and we all stood around looking like idiots. Surprisingly we
didn't win.
- Baby- Justin Bieber
You just knew this song was going to be on here
didn't you. Yes, I will admit back in the day I was a diehard Belieber, as was
just about every other girl my age, the hair flick and the pre puberty voice
was every girls dream, every girl wished to be that girl in the video clip, how
could I resist?
- Black Finger Nails, Red Wine- Eskimo Joe
This was an absolute banger of a song back in the
day! Perfect for long car rides when your younger sister whined about having to
sit in the back so you were forced to give up you front seat. So with a pout
and folded arms you listened to your blaring music the whole way home.
- Love Don't Cost A Thing- Jennifer Lopez
This song was used as our end of year piece for
senior jazz class when I was like 12 and it was a god damn mess. There is video
evidence and I will die if it ever surfaces, but I won an award that year so I
was happy.
- Before He Cheats- Carrie Underwood
SUCH a single girl jam! No that I was all that
worried about being an independent white girl when this came out but hey it was
fun to rock out too and pretend I was older than I was.
- Pay Phone- Maroon 5
Ah, the unofficial song of bivouac camp in year
nine. Because after three days of 24 hour company of the same people, exactly
what you want is them singing terribly in your face. By this stage I was an
angry bitch and as you can imagine this did not sit well with me, not one
little bit.
- Good Girls Go Bad- Cobra Starship featuring Leighton Meester
AH this song, what a jam. Every time I here it I
want to watch Gossip Girl. This was most definitely on my little pink
iPod.
- Party Rock Anthem- LMFAO
This one reminds me of the four hour bus trip home
after Cadet Camp in year nine. It was THAT over played I can still hardly
listen to it now.
Here's just 22 songs that make me think back to the
carefree days of having little o no responsibility what so ever. Like I said
above my Spotify has a whole playlist (that keeps getting bigger) of these
songs so you can also take a trip down memory lane!
