Spring break tunage( music list number....idk)

Like I said in my last post, I'm going on a small road trip for spring break and as is the custom for road trips, I've thrown together some songs that reflect the attitude I wanna have on this trip. So without far introduction, here's the Spring Break Roadtrip Playlist.(not in this order though)

  1. Big Yellow Taxi- Counting Crows. {A great remake off the Joni Mitchell's original from the 70's (click for sample of original)that's alittle more chill}
  2. Drift Away- Uncle Kracker {once again a remake of an older song from the 70's by Dobie Gray ( click for sample of original under Diamond Cuts), but much like the last one this has been given the soothing flow that helps create the proper atmosphere needed for this type of trip.}
  3. Lucky- Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat (great duet, perfect mash up of love song and smooth music, LOVE <3)
  4. Dance Inside- All American Rejects (Not gonna lie, this song induced my crush on Tyson Ritter, no for real, it did......ok, his face didn't hurt the cause.)
  5. Drops of Jupiter- Train [best funky lyrics mixed smooth music ever]
  6. Accidentally in Love-Counting Crows [To be honest(yet again) I try not to repeat artists or albums on these lists but this song is sooo fun, I had to have it on here]
  7. Someday- Rob Thomas {alittle bit on the heavier side as far as musically, but its nice lyrically}
  8. Heaven Song- Phil Wickham {kinda out of my normal zone on this one, as it is christian rock, but I heard live during a Downtown Church service (a church that's congregation is largely teens and young adults) and it fits the soothing theme, I've been going for}
  9. Hey, Soul Sister-Train ( this is like the quintessential (Big word, I know) road trip song in my mind, its relaxed and flows great.)
  10. Collide- Howie Day( It everyone's favorite awwwww song, you know its true...don't deny your feelings!!!!)
  11. Come on, get Higher- Matt Nathanson [this kinda reminds me of Collide in a way, idk why....just does.]
  12. Wonderwall- Oasis [I thought that since this is so classic yet new yet classic, that it'd be the perfect way to end this list. ]

P.S. - I went kind of link crazy so most of the colored words have links, so click away

And then there was march.....


I'm sorry, its been a couple weeks since I've written, it's been a very tiring few weeks though. We had a major project due in one of my class last week and on the day it was due I had to spend 3 straight class periods working on it, and despite having worked on it very hard the during inclass work days and during that time, I had to stay after school for an hour to get it done. So all that took alot out of me, as have some personal problems which are leaving me very stressed.

Things will get better though, they have to, they always have before. I'm tired so everything seems worse then it is, still having trouble sleeping and staying asleep. I need a break, luckily next week is spring break and mom and i are taking a small trip around Iowa. I think that'll be just what the doctor ordered....
