The power of a good song is an incredible thing. My year of birth was 1987 and as such I consider myself more of a child of the 90's than anything; I played with slinky's, play-doh, climbed trees, watched shows like Gummy Bears, Doug, and The New Adventures of Winnie The Pooh....but the soundtrack of the 90s is something I've never left behind.
My husband is funny, whenever he sees anything that looks like it may be an ASPCA commercial he sings, "So tired of the straight line" - so sad that this is how Sarah McLachlan is known these days. This took us on a sing-along adventure last night, singing and listening to some 90s favorites and inspired my all-day listening of Pandora's Sarah McLachlan station. Songs like McLachlan's "Sweet Surrender" "I Will Remember You" and yes, even "Angel" bring me back every time. But the 90s was so much more than that, so I thought I'd list a few of my favorites here (feel free to add to the list in the comment box!)
"Insensitive" - Jann Arden
"Stay (I Missed You)" - Lisa Loeb
"I Love You Always Forever" - Donna Lewis
"As I Lay Me Down" - Sophie B, Hawkins
"Crush" - Jennifer Paige
"You Get What You Give" - New Radicals
"Bittersweet Symphony" The Verve
"Linger" - The Cranberries
"Feels Like Home" - Chantal Kreviazuk
"I Don't Want To Wait" - Paula Cole
It remains that anything from "Surfacing" will bring me back to a much simpler time, when my favorite pass time with running through the sprinklers or sitting in my favorite "reading tree," A time before there was such a devil thing as quinoa.
Ahhhh nostalgia. You are missed. And now the theme from Dawson's Creek (also missed!) will be going through my head all daaaaaay....doo doo doo doo doo doo
Loving life, dedicated to Christ, newlywed, foodie, social worker, and so much more! I write about the things that spice up life.
