1. 22-Taylor Swift
I'm pretty sure when Taylor Swift wrote this song, she was writing it about my 22nd year. Every single line in this song has been part of my year and I can directly relate to. So listen to the song and know what I have been up to this age:)
2. I Don't Wanna Be- Gavin Degraw
Anyone who knows me slightly, knows my obsession with the television show One Tree Hill. Appropriately I needed to have the theme song be on my soundtrack because this year One Tree Hill aired it's final season! Although I am extremely sad its over, I'm thankful for the incredible last season:)
3. Days Like These- Jason Aldean
This song didn't become my ringtone and Facebook album title for no reason, this song has been an anthem for me this year, its been my pregaming song, my road trip driving song, its even been on some of my night time playlists, I just love what this song is all about!
4. Faith To Fall Back On- Hunter Hayes
This has been such an inspirational song for me, when I would have a low day, or even when I needed a little pick me up, this song was a great reminder that I always have God and my faith.
5. Friends We Won't Forget- Lee Brice
My best friend made me a "Hometown Playlist" for when I started my Fall Semester this year, I had never heard this song before listening to that CD and the first time I heard it, it brought me to tears. Lauren has been that friend to me and a lot of these lyrics relate to the beginning of our friendship and have related to our 22nd year together!
6. I Don't Want This Night To End- Luke Bryan
I'm pretty sure I've listened to this song at least 100 times in my 22nd year, I fell more madly in love with Luke Bryan's music this year especially. I took Lauren to the Luke Bryan concert in Reno, and we did NOT want our night to end with him. This song is the song I'd blast from my speakers and every time I hear it, I still get my heart beating a little faster, because this song just has so many great memories behind it from the concert and all the days leading up to it, and its sung by my favorite artist!
7. Moves Like Jagger-Maroon 5
This summer I had the incredible opportunity to work the Maroon 5 pre-party at the Tahoe Celebrity Golf Tourney and got to watch Maroon 5 preform VIP Front ROW! Adam wore a white t-shirt and Levi jeans and made me melt! Hearing this song just reminds me of that night and it also deserves a place because I taught my two year old nephew, Daniel how to sing this song! :)
8. The War Is Over- Kelly Clarkson
This song is one of Kelly's best and one of my favorites from her album that came out this year. I burned this song multiple times for my girlfriends who had been wronged by the boys who did not deserve them and I like to help them turn to this song for encouragement! I also heard her sing it live at her concert in late March thanks to a special friend who got me tickets!
9. Wannabe- Spice Girls
On a Monday night in the summertime, my friend Gina and I decided we wanted to drink dollar pitchers of beer at a bar we had never been to, our friend Hillary joined us and we all had such a great time. We walked next door to a bar that had about 6 people inside of it and Gina and I sang this song together, and before we started I said "We are gonna spice up your life!" Every time that song comes on I think of the spontaneous night we had and how fun it was!
10. Call Me Maybe- Carly Rae Jepsen
Yes I know, the song was over played, which is EXACTLY why it made my list! It was so popular and so catchy I fell in love with it and it became the perfect song to sing on a night of drinking. Over the summer my friends sang this song almost every time we got together and Christmas break my friends and I had a nice belt out session in the car to it, which was a nice way to put the song to rest for my 22.
11. Somebody's Heartbreak- Hunter Hayes
That Hunter Hayes is a gift from God. I saw him FRONT Row thanks to my Grandma Judy and I stood the whole time and I will even admit I yelled "Be My Heartbreak Hunter!" He obviously didn't hear that with all the other screaming fans, but I did get him to wave to me during this song and that made me a total mess I was so gaga over him I couldn't believe it!
12. Thank God For Hometowns- Carrie Underwood
This song makes me cry almost every time I hear it because it hits me close to the heart. When I saw Carrie in concert FRONT ROW (Hunter was her opener) she sang this song and I cried. This song is everything that reminds me of home and when I am feeling lost and miss home, I listen to this song. This song also has a lyric "the first red light I roll the windows down, breathe it in and took a look around" and that is what I do almost every time I am driving back into Hilmar (even with the dairy smell, I miss it!).
13. Walking Away- Jason Aldean
Even though I didn't take his CD out of my car for a good three weeks after getting it, this song was the one that always stuck out to me and I belted out and turned up the loudest. I don't know what it is about this song, but I just love it so much! I loved about every other song on his CD but because this was the most repeated, this one makes the list!
14. Love in a College Town- Luke Bryan
"Lets take another shot, drink another round, hug on one another, talk about each other, stay until they kick us out" these lyrics especially describe my college friends and my nights at our favorite bar, THE WAL! We became quite the regulars this year :)
15. Cruise- Florida Georgia Line
I LOVE THIS SONG! I wish this song came on the radio sooner because every time it comes on I wanna roll my windows down and I can't because Reno is so darn cold! But this song is so fun to sing and has become one of my favorites and my most listened to!
16. Boyfriend- Justin Bieber
I know every single word to this song, proudly! I love Justin Bieber's new sound and I'm not afraid to admit it! I listened to this song and made my roommates listen to this song so many times, I made it excusable by saying it was "Bieber Friday" once again, I'm not afraid to admit it. :)
17. Hank It- Justin Moore
I was lucky enough to see Justin Moore TWO nights in a row, once opening for Luke Bryan and the next night at the Clovis Rodeo. This is one of my favorite Justin Moore songs because it is so fun to sing! Til My Last Day and In The Bed Of My Chevy were close contenders, but Hank It is so much more fun!
18. Put a Drink In My Hand- Eric Church
This was the first song that Mackenzie and I ever sang at The Wal's Tuesday Karaoke Night! And this song is also our anthem for how we are when we are at The Wal or just together in general. I'm thankful for her friendship and the fun times we've had together!
19. Come Over- Kenny Chesney
I couldn't have made my soundtrack to 22 and not put this song on there, because I RAVED about this song on Facebook at least four times, which is excessive for Facebook, especially since the same people read the posts on my page, I really enforced it! :) I just love Kenny's new sound and I thought the video was incredible!
20. Beer With Jesus- Thomas Rhett
I can remember the exact place I was driving when this song first came on the radio. I was just coming into Manteca on one of my trips back to Hilmar and I was listening to a local radio station and Luke Bryan "I Don't Want This Night To End" was playing and I felt so happy that one of my favorite songs was playing on my drive and as soon as it ended, this song started playing. I don't ever remember listening to lyrics as hard as I listened to these, this song really intrigued me and made me teary eyed. The part that always gets me is when it says "tell me how did you turn the other cheek to save a sorry soul like me?"
21. Good Girl- Carrie Underwood
This song is so fun to sing in my car with the volume on loud. There is no way my voice sounds anything like hers but this is such a fun song. I watched a Youtube video about her describing this song and she said "we either know this girl, or we are this girl" and I thought I couldn't have put it better myself! Such a great song!
22. Don't Have To Think Twice- Steve Moakler
I just stumbled upon this artist over Christmas Break and I fell in love with his music! This song especially is one of my favorites, its the perfect ending to the soundtrack of 22 because it is my hopeful song for 2013. I would quote every lyric if I didn't think that this post was already long enough. But if you get a chance, listen to this song, you won't regret you did! :)
