You life's music every decade.

Can you think up of a song for every decade he has lived?

Step by Step by NKotB came out of the blue after dinner while we were chatting about my son's recent 5-day camp. It stuck me that there are songs that can bring back memories of some phases in my life.

Madonna, Michael Jackson and Air Supply were pretty big back in the 80's during my early years. I can totally remember "Papa Don't Preach," "Like a Virgin," "All Out of Love," "Beat It," "Thriller" among others because I hear them everywhere. They were catchy but I never really understood what the lyrics meant as a kid. I even thought that the world "lakwatsa" was a dance step at one time. Boy! Was I deluded when I realized it years later when I was in my teens doing it somehow.

I asked my husband if he can name or hum a tune for each decade he has lived and he can't. He says he really can't hum at all. Off-hand, I think I can. 80's - "Like a Virgin" (I still can't believe this is what I remember being in single-digit age at that time.) 90's - "How Gee" 00's - "Lady Marmalade" (Another catchy tune, disregarding some meaning of the lyrics. And yes, I prefer Aguilera over Spears), 10's - 1D's "That's What Makes You Beautiful."

There were songs that would remind me of places and people. Bread Essentials album always reminds me of someone and a family trip. Notting Hill OST and On My Own from Les Mis both reminds me of two different people.

This reminds me of a break up playlist which includes Goodbye Girl and One Last Cry. Just can't get enough of those at some point. It's just funny how songs play a part in our lives. Some bring good memories, some don't.
