This is our Song

So let's sing na, na na na na, hey ya
Come on and sing na, na na na na, hey ya

This is our song that's all that matter cause
We all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
This is our song

And grab your guitar
Sit by the fire
Cause we all need a song
When we retire
We'll sit here together and sing it out loud

This is our song that's all that matter cause
We all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer and this is our song
This is our song, this is our song

(repeat)

This is our song that's all that matters cause
We all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer (Our summer)

This is our song that's all that matters cause
We all belong right here together
There's nothing better than singing along
This is our summer
This is our song (This is our song)
This is our song (This is our song)
This is our song
This is our song!


Ok get over it.. this may be the first and it won't be the last song from a Disney movie that shows up in this blog.. I'd love to say i watch way to much Disney because of my kid but that's kind of a lie.. So there..My Name is Kristi and I love Disney.. Now that we have that out of the way.. The reason for today's song..

Everyone needs a song! A personal song, a song that defines a groups of friends. A song that every time you hear it reminds you of a memory from your past of a special person, place, thing or even better all 3!!! A song to define a time in your life. A song to define you! I love this song. I love the idea behind this song.
Summer 1996.. that was my summer and there were many songs. I can tell a story about that summer and it would be tied to music every step of the way. That is what helps me remember that summer. I don't have any other summers like that and that depresses me greatly. Everyone should have THAT summer.. But Summer 96 was MY summer! The memories I have from that summer, I will carry with me forever. I hope to all that is out there that someday my son will have his Summer. I met some wonderful and amazing people, had experiences that many people don't get to have and learned things about myself that I never would have learned without that summer.
I don't have contact with any of the people from that summer anymore and that makes me sad but the memories we made and shared will stay with me and if I were ever to cross paths with any of them again, I'm sure that they would feel the same. We didn't just have a song that summer, we made a whole soundtrack.

I love to associate songs to memories. I wish that I had memories like a lot of songs out there (don't worry these will show up in the blog eventually).. You know those songs like movies that tell of great love stories that we here in the "real world" never experience.. Music is wonderful. It's therapeutic. It can brighten your day, remind you of a lost love, make you reflect on your life or just get up and dance. Hey that's good for you right?? This song is also one of the reasons I started this blog, it's kind of the idea behind it. Songs define people.. Different days, different moods, different songs.. Plus I love to write and this combines my love of both. Plus I get to share it with you!! :) I get to tell my story through songs and music. I get to share my song with you!

There's not much to the lyrics but basically I hope you find your song. I hope you sing it and I hope that every day in life is music to your ears.

Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.”
