I've Been Arrested by This Song!

I forgot to mention that Adam and Eve had a killer compilation of love songs at their wedding. Summer noticed that one of the songs was from a movie, and she could not remember what it was. So we asked Eve, and she said it was from "Better Off Dead." What did I do that night? Check out "Better Off Dead" of course! Summer, Clay, and I watched it that night. And I have to say, that song is really good. I HAVE to have it! It's by Rupert Hine, and it's called "Arrested By You." I've decided that it's the first song I will dance to at my wedding! :) Seriously, though, it is a perfect song. Lately I've been into 80's new wave music. What's the deal? I think the deal is that it's way good. Or maybe it's because I, along with every girl who grew up on 80's flicks, have a long-standing crush on the John Cusack we have come to know in the movies. Anyway, check out the song by clicking on the link and scrolling down to the short clip from the soundtrack.

Top 25 Songs

The Max Snow family reunion is happening as I type.  One of my uncles e-mailed everyone a few weeks ago, asking us to compile a list of our top 25 favorite songs.  What?!?!  What?  How could I limit myself to just 25 songs???  It was so difficult!

But I did it, and here's how:  I listed the first 25 songs that came to mind.  Except it wasn't 25 songs; it was 27.  I axed the last two, and this is the remaining 25: 

1. Mint Car, The Cure
2. Something, The Beatles
3. The Rain Song, Led Zeppelin
4. Time, Pink Floyd (I couldn't find a decent recording on YouTube.)
5. You Only Live Once, The Strokes
6. Green Eyes, Coldplay
7. Arrested by You, Rupert Hine
8. Read My Mind, The Killers
9. Stubborn Love, The Lumineers
10. Tighten Up, The Black Keys
11. Lost in My Mind, The Head and the Heart
12. Re: Stacks, Bon Iver
13. Bizarre Love Triangle, New Order
14. I Melt With You, Modern English
15. The Goonies 'R' Good Enough, Cyndi Lauper
16. You Send Me, Sam Cooke
17. The Tracks of My Tears, Smokey Robinson and The Miracles
18. I Want You Back, Jackson 5
19. Ain't Too Proud to Beg, The Temptations
20. Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours), Stevie Wonder
21. Jailhouse Rock, Elvis
22. Sleepwalk, Santo and Johnny
23. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go, Madeleine Peyroux
24. Dreams, The Cranberries
25. High and Dry, Radiohead

So there you go.  That was what I came up with off the top of my head.  It's not a perfect list, but it still gives a pretty good picture of me and my musical interests.

What did my uncle use the songs for, you ask?  He played a sampling of 50 songs for everyone, and after each song, we had to guess whose song it was.  This was a fun game for several reasons, but mainly two: 1) My family loves music, and 2) My family loves reading people.  Check and check.  Family reunion success.  :)


Thing I'm thankful for: that I didn't die at the Lava Hot Springs water park
