This is the list of songs that are the most impactful in my life today. All five of these songs allow so many memories, emotions, and much more flood my mind every time that I listen to them.
Sam Smith- Stay with me
Why am I so emotional?
No, it’s not a good look, gain some self control
Deep down I know this never works
But you could lay with me
So it doesn’t hurt
Oh, won’t you stay with me?
‘Cause you’re all I need
This song reminds me of all of the good times that I had with one of my friends that passed away at a young age. This song is able to take control of my emotions without fail every time I listen to it.
Earth, Wind, Fire- September
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing
As we danced in the night
Remember how the stars stole the night away
Hey hey hey
Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day
This song reminds me of last summer. It was an incredible time and I strengthened so many different relationships through these through months. I love all of the memories that come with this song.
Kenny Chesney- Boys of fall
When I feel that chill, smell that fresh cut grass
I’m back in my helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads
Standing in the huddle, listening to the call
Fans going crazy for the boys of fall
They didn’t let just anybody in that club
Took every ounce of heart and sweat and blood
To get to wear those game-day jerseys down the hall
The kings of the school, man, we’re the boys of fall
Well it’s turn to face the stars and stripes
It’s fighting back them butterflies
It’s call it in the air, alright
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it’s knocking heads and talking trash
It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass
It’s I got your number, I got your back
When your back’s against the wall
You mess with one man, you got us all
The boys of fall
In little towns like mine, that’s all they’ve got
Newspaper clippings fill the coffee shops
The old men will always think they know it all
Young girls will dream about the boys of fall
Well it’s turn and face the stars and stripes
It’s fighting back them butterflies
It’s call it in the air, alright
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it’s knocking heads and talking trash
It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass
It’s I got your number, I got your back
When your back’s against the wall
You mess with one man, you got us all
The boys of fall
Well it’s turn and face the stars and stripes
It’s fighting back them butterflies
It’s call it in the air, alright
Yes sir, we want the ball
And it’s knocking heads and talking trash
It’s slinging mud and dirt and grass
It’s I got your number, I got your back
When your back’s against the wall
You mess with one man, you got us all
The boys of fall
We’re the boys of fall
We’re the boys of fall
We’re the boys of fall
We’re the boys of fall
This song is the only song that is somewhat able to describe the relationship that is made through teammates on a football team. I have so many great memories from this fall and so many new friendships because of it.
Sean Fogerty- Center Field
Well-a, beat the drum and hold the phone,
The sun came out today.
We’re born again, there’s new grass on the field.
A-roundin’ third, and headed for home,
It’s a brown-eyed handsome man,
Anyone can understand the way I feel
Ooohh —
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Look at me, I can be, Centerfield
Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
Watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps, when the mighty Case struck out
So “Say Hey” Willie, tell the Cobb, and Joe DiMaggio
Don’t say it ain’t so
You know the time is now
Yeah!
I got it, I got it!
Got a beat-up glove, a home-made bat
And a brand new pair of shoes.
You know I think it’s time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball, and touch ’em all, a moment in the sun
It’s-a gone and you can tell that one good-bye
Ooohh —
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Put me in coach, I’m ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be, Centerfield
Yeah!
This song is in every batting practice playlist that I have ever heard, so there are so many different memories that are with this song. Every time I hear this song I’m able to go right back to the batting cages with my teammates and have a great time improving my swing.
Zac Brown Band- Chicken Fry
Cold beer on a Friday night
A pair of jeans that fit just right
And the radio up
I like to see the sunrise
See the love in my woman’s eyes
Feel the touch of a precious child
And know a mother’s love
It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the most
Not where you live, what you drive or the price tag on your clothes
There’s no dollar sign on a peace of mind, this I’ve come to know
So if you agree have a drink with me
Raise your glasses for a toast
To a little bit of chicken fried
This song reminds me of a great time with my friends and family. The song said it perfectly, it the little things in life that mean the most. I have come by to almost live by these words, to cherish every little happy moment that you have in your life and always be grateful for what you have rather than be jealous of others.
