the soundtrack of my life

Take me out to the ballgame: when i was very little, i had already gotten into baseball. At as young as two years old my dad would take me to the baseball field and toss me wiffle balls. Take me out to the ballgame was the first song i can remember knowing all the words too, and i will always remember this song. The Lion King: my grandma and i always used to love the lion king movies, and books. she would read them to me over and over again, to the point where i knew exactly what happened. We would sing along to the songs in the movies, and i used to pretend to be Simba the lion. Toy Story: I know toy story is a movie, which was not part of the criteria for this blog, but i HAD to list it because it was so important to me. I grew up watching these movies everyday, and i still enjoy toy story, whether its toy story one two or three. Whenever i see the moives it reminds me of those days when i was a kid, when everything was fun, and there was so much less stress. Toy story was a big part of many of my favorite childhood memories, along wih many other disney movies. By the Way, the entire album by the red hot chili peppers. The red hot chili peppers have been one of my favorite bands for aslong as i can remember. I remember the long car rides where the only thing that occupied me was the RHCP CD playing the whole time. I still like their music and have already seen them live twice. Snail City by Jane O'Connor. This was very important in my childhood because it was the first book I learned to read! I will always remember the crazy pictures in this book, and how excited i was when i learned to read it. The Sandlot: Although this is another movie, this was also a part of my favorite child hood memories. I knew every line to this movie, and still do to this day. When i was little i used to pretend i was Benny, swing my imaginary baseball bat, and run around the bases. When the Levee Breaks by Led Zeppelin: When i was three i got a drumset for christmas. i fooled around on it for a few years until my started really teaching me to play. This was the first song i learned on drums, and it really helped me learn the basic half time and full time beats of rock drumming. The Magic Treehouse Series by Mary Pope Osbourne. When i really learned how to read, i read through these books almost every week. After every visit to the library i would bring home the next book in the series and read it very quickly. these books really got my imagination flowing, and were some of the first chapter books i read. Metallica and The Misfits: I can't pick one particular song to use by either of these artists so I am combining them into one. These two bands were by far the most infuential musicians on my music today. Infact most modern Metal bands are strongly influenced by both of these bands. Soundtack 2 my Life by Kid Cudi. This song fits into this blog for obvious reasons! This is the first song i thought of when I heard about our soundtrack blog. This song reminds me of one of the first summers in my new house, with my new friends. We listened to this song over and over together on summer nights by the fire. I still love this song, and it still reminds me of those summer nights when i hear it. This is one of my feel good songs! If it Means Alot To You by a day to remember. This song gets me through alot of tough times in my life, and is one of my favorites. this is also the first song i learned to play guitar and sing to. It just helps me get through life, when im not feeling well, or am upset about something.
