I can't post the years after this.... since, by a freak of nature, or rather this computer, I lost the subsequent playlists when I was copying and pasting. I hate myself right now, but in a few weeks I'll probably find a way to compile them all over again.

I can't remember a time, even when I was a child, when I wasn't in love with music. I loved playing instruments, singing, and listening to different types of it -- the good, the bad, the ugly. I loved it all. Of all these songs I've heard, or played through my lifetime the ones that stand out as being most vivid are those associated with certain memories of people/events. I decided one week I'd try to piece together playlists of what I used to listen to... The week turned into a few weeks, and has finally come to fruition (It's sad what I do with my free time, huh?). Every song here, has at least one story and is pretty characteristic of the phases I went/am going through.
If anyone else reads this, I'd really love to see what you throw together for your own playlist. I had to split this up into a few posts because it was too massive...

Valentine's Day always manages to put me in a musical mood regardless of whether I'm celebrating it with someone or not. I'll be listening to this wonderful playlist put out by NPR during my drive home to my mom's. The great part about it wasn't the individual strength of each of the songs, but the unlikely combination of them together. They're good songs to listen to with and without someone else beside you. :)
To all the couples out there that are passing another mile marker this V-Day, congratulations.
And to those that are still searching for that special person, may you have the best of luck finding them. Everyone deserves a great romance at least once in their life.
As for me, I'll be making the yearly trip that day to see my favorite painting, then taking a long walk with this fool. If you happen to see me, smile. I like those.
Happy Valentine's Day.
