Jukebox V

The further along I get in the jukebox...the more I realize that I don't listen to a lot of new music. Most of my music is reflective of certain periods of my life. Kenny Chesney and Sugarland are going to be the music that reminds me of this period in my life.

Anyway...here is my latest installment of the iPhone.

1. These Arms of Mine - Otis Redding

I am not the only one who likes this song. Patrick Swayze is also a fan, or so it seems. This song is playing during two of his loves scenes Dirty Dancing (w/ Jennifer Grey) and Road House (w/ Kelly Lynch) .

2. Fire & Rain - James Taylor

I love this song. I am a complete dork!

3. If I Fall in Love - Shai

4. End of the Road - Boyz II Men

These two get bunched together because they are interlocked for me. When I was in the 10th grade my buddy Daniel and I walked from school to the Wherehouse to pick up a couple of CDs. These were the very first CDs that I ever owned. My first 5 CDs in order: 1.) ...If I Ever Fall In Love, 2.) Boomerang Soundtrack, 3.) Ooooooohhh...On The TLC Tip TLC, 4.) What's the 411? Mary J. Blige, and 5.) Doggystyle Snoop Dogg. End of the Road came on a soundtrack to the Eddie Murphy movie Boomerang. At one point they battled for the top spot on MTVs top 20 countdown (back when MTV actually played music videos).

5. Lately - Jodeci

I know that Stevie Wonder originally released this song, but the Jodeci version resonates with me. I am not totally sure why - except I am a sucker for ballads.

6. Keep You - Sugarland

Didn't I already mention Jennifer Nettles voice??? So soothing to me - Mac and I love listening to the Sugarland CD over and over and over again. It is playing whenever we are in the car.

7. Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

C'mon who doesn't remember the scene from Ghost??? Here I go again with Patrick Swayze - Jennifer Grey to Kelly Lynch to Demi Moore - they just got hotter for him.

8. For What It's Worth - Buffalo Springfield

It feels like this song should be in the movie Forrest Gump - I actually don't know if it is. Either way, I love oldies.

I realized that while I was writing this down, a lot of the songs remind me of movies. Therefore, I am going to post very soon my favorite movies.
