In January of 1973 Carly Simon released the #1 hit You're So Vain and I know we all know the lyrics You're so vain you probably think this song is about you....
Well I guess I am very vain because there are so many songs that I swear are about me...or at least could/should be! :)
The latest is Brad Paisley's new song She's Everything. Now believe me I know it is about his wife Kimberly Williams Paisley (from Father of the Bride which happens to be my favorite movie) but lets examine some evidence:
1. She's a Saturn with a sunroof With her brown hair a-blowing--I have a Saturn with a sunroof and brown hair.... ah thank you.
2. She's a Saturday out on the town And a church girl on Sunday She's a cross around her neck And a cuss word 'cause its Monday-- again must be me :)
3. She's a one glass of wine And she's feeling kinda tipsy-- It's almost uncanny! Who else could it be, I mean really?
4. She's the giver I wish I could be And the stealer of the covers-- I totally give and steal!
See I told you! You must be totally convinced by now! If not listen here (think of me while you do haha!)
Okay haha! I know we all do this. It's why we favor some songs over others. Just can't get enough of me you say....well okay here is another song you can listen to and think of me:
Love Song Sara Bareilles (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR5xv3pt7KI)
I actually have songs for other people/relationships too, and while I won't go into the personal details I have very distinct memories attached to the following songs:
Don't Stop Believin - Journey (this one is for Ben)
With a Little Help From My Friends - Beatles (my CCM boys and James)
Crazy - Gnarles Barkley (my girl Vieve)
Promiscuos - Nelly Furtado (Vieve and Rachie Summer 2007)
Everytime We Touch - Cascada (ahahaha ridiculous song for a ridiculous ex)
These Days - Rascal Flats (this is the song that reminds me of you airplane boy)
and perhaps my favorite
Butterfly Kisses - Bob Carlisle (for my daddy of course)
So here is to the power of a song and #MusicMonday! And now I need a drink! Cheers!
