Songs of Summer

Today as I was pre-cooking tonight's dinner for my family (Florentine Shells and Garlic bread... NOM NOM NOM) and listening to my iPod, I started thinking about how each of my summers has it's own unique soundtrack. My friends and I always listen to music together, be it at a bonfire, a sleepover, or just cruising around in one of our cars, and each summer I can remember there were always one or two (or three or four) songs blasted and put on repeat (and sometime acted out in our own sort of interpretative dance...). So here's a tentative list of the songs I can hear as the soundtrack of my summers:


2007
The Great Escape - Boys like Girls
We'll scream loud at the top of our lungs
And they'll think it's just cause we're young
And we'll feel so alive

2008

Keasbey Nights - Streetlight Manifesto
Dear Sergio - Streetlight Manifesto 
Thunder - Boys like Girls
Your voice was the soundtrack of my summer
Do you know you're unlike any other?

Lake Bomoseen - the backdrop to my summers

The Slate Quarry

2009
I Gotta Feelin' - the Black Eyed Peas
I feel stressed out
I wanna let it go
Lets go way out spaced out
And loosing all control
Weightless - All Time Low

Clockwise: Me, Liz, Alyssa

Fourth of July!
Me, Sam, Liz, and Alyssa

Me, Sam, Alyssa, and Liz... plus our hand puppets :)

2010
Hey Soul Sister - Train (For the record, ERIC RAMEY and KYLE WILSON are guilty of making this the only song on my "summer soundtrack" that has negative conotations as it was way over played...)
Airplanes - BOB feat. Hayley Williams and Eminem (Okay, I lied. This one we made fun of repeatedly...)
Your Love is My Drug - Ke$ha
Alejandro - Lady Gaga
SHOTS - Lil John feat. LMFAO

Liz, me and Alyssa
