Baby Songs To Now

1997

  “Little Black Rain Cloud”

    From Winnie the Pooh

            This song is probably one of my most favorite songs when I was a baby. It just brings back memories of me sitting in front of the T.V. watching Winnie the Pooh. I even remember that he sang this song when he was all covered in mud and he was tied to a balloon trying to get honey from the bees’ nest in the tree.

1998

“All the Pretty Little Ponies”

 By Kenny Loggins

            I loved this song so much when I was a little. My dad used to sing it to me. I also remember listening to it in the car. It’s a lullaby so it was relaxing to me.

1999

“The Beginning”

  By Seal

            I love Seal! He is just an amazing singer. My parents would put on his CDs all the time when I was a baby. They said his voice was soothing and it helped calm Madeline and I down when we were upset. This song in particular reminds me of going to daycare, and my dad would play this song in the car. We recently listened to his CD and it just brought back so many memories.

1999

“Violet”

By: Seal

            This is another one of my favorite songs. When I was little, I remember I was sleeping and there was a huge thunderstorm outside. I woke up and I was really scared. I called for my dad and he came in and he put on “violet” and he opened the blinds to the big window in or living room (this was in our apartment) and we just watched the storm until I fell asleep. I don’t know why I remember that so well it was just a nice memory I guess.

 2000-2001

“Larger Than Life”

By: Backstreet Boys

            Hahahaha! I love the Backstreet boys. When I was five or six years old I used to listen to them all the time. It’s kind of embarrassing but they were great. I remember I got their concert on VHS and I watched it and I was dancing to it! It was great! Larger Than Life was my favorite song by them. I actually just recently heard it on the radio.

2001

Short Skirt Long Jacket

By: Cake

This song is so funny if you really listen to the lyrics. I remember listening to this song in the car on the way to go bowling when I was little. I remember the strangest things…it is one of my moms favorite songs.

2001

“Oops I Did It Again”

By: Britney Spears

            Britney Spears was awesome. I loved to listen to her music. I thought she was so cool. I used to listen to her with my neighbors and we used to make up dances to the songs…I know we were cool...

2003

Ants Marching

By: Dave Matthews

Both my parents were in love with the Dave Matthews band. I remember in the summer time when I was with my mom and sister in the car, she would put on the Dave Matthews CD and we would listen to it with the sunroof open. I miss summer so much…

2004

Hey Ya!

By: Outkast

I really like this song. I remember seeing the music video to this song and it was really weird. Yet again Outkast is really weird. 

2005

Clocks

By: Coldplay

Coldplay is probably one of the best bands ever. Their music is so relaxing and different. It’s not like all of the rap music today. “Clocks” was a song that my family really liked. We ended up looking for more Coldplay songs.

2006

Over My Head (cable car)

By: The Fray

Once again another summer song! This song, I first heard, when I was sitting on my porch and my mom just put some music on. I had no idea what he was saying when he said “cable car” I thought he said Cape Cod. Haha…I was like, “he said Cape Cod!”  I thought it was so cool that he said that because we go to Cape Cod every summer. And then my family was like “no…he said cable car…”

2007

Ain’t No Other Man

By: Christina Aguilera

This song reminds me of the summertime. We would always listen to fun dance songs when we would have parties with our neighbors. This song is one of the songs we would dance to. It was so much fun.

2007

The Sweet Escape

By: Gwen Stefani and Akon

            This song brings so many memories back to fifth grade. A couple friends and I wrote a parody to this song. It was pretty cool. We preformed it at the end of the year in the talent show. It was one of the best days of my life!

2008

Viva La Vida

By: Codplay

  This is another great Coldplay song. This song reminds me so much of seventh grade English class because I needed to have a song for the poetry unit and I picked this one. I read it so many times because I loved it so much. The cellos and violins are great in the song.

2009

Gravity

By Sara Bareilles

This song originally came out in 2007 but I heard it in 2009 On “So You Think You Can Dance”. It is an amazing song and the piano in the song is beautiful. She also has an amazing voice. The song is really about something that she keeps going back to but its pushing her down. Its just a really moving song and if you listen closely to the lyrics its pretty powerful.

2010

Secrets

By: One Republic

 This song is great. I love the cellos. I first heard the song on a commercial for “Pretty Little Liars” and I really liked it. I can tell this song is going to be on our summer play list for sitting by the pool.

2010

Show Me What I’m Looking For

By: Carolina Liar

Great song! My friend actually showed me this song. And I couldn’t stop listening to it.

These are only some of the songs that should go on an album of my life. There are a ton more. My family is a big music family and so I have many varieties of songs I could choose from. These are songs that I remember the most.
