Summer Soundtrack

The name of my blog is not just a snappy title - I really feel like I should have a soundtrack playing in the background of everything I do. I usually put a line from a current song on my soundtrack in the title of this blog. I love listening tosongs that describe my life or just have fun beats to dance to even if they are obscene (i.e. "It wasn't me" circa 2001 which ended up on my first cell phone's voicemail.) Sometimes I think," if my life were a movie, what song would be playing right now?" And then I listen to it. Over and over again. 

Will and I have used music a lot in our relationship to communicate how we feel and to remind us of fun times we've spent together. We get to tell each other how we feel everyday, but it's always fun to see which songs each of us put to those feelings. When we listen to each other's mixes, the songs have so much more meaning because we know that the other specifically chose that song. Sometimes they are mushy love songs and sometimes they are tributes to the Greats who have provided for hours of dance parties at bars all over the world! This month we were both making mixes for each other at the same time without knowing it. Here are our July playlists:
