Yesterday I found an old CD labeled "College Mix". I popped it in the wayback machine and loads of memories came flooding back to me. It was very cool and inspiring. I realized I was listening to the soundtrack of my life. I found myself, song after song, thinking THAT'S MY JAM!!! Those songs or bands NEVER get old for me.

What are 5 songs from your life's soundtrack that always make you say THAT'S MY JAM!!!?

In no particular order:

1. Desperately Wanting - Better Than Ezra
2. The Old Apartment - Bare Naked Ladies
3. Fall Down - Toad the Wet Sprocket
4. Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
5. House that We Used to Live In - Smithereens

    I am still in college so I cannot be completely sure yet. However, a song that will always make my cry is a Russian one "Podmoskovne Vechera" (if I spelled that correctly). It's "my" lullaby. The one my mom always sang to me. And it makes me cry every single time because I think of how much she loves me.
