7 Day Wayback Music Challange - Day 3 (Version 2): Girlfriend Favorite??
I was nominated into the 7-Day Wayback music challenge by @detlev which was very nice of him. This will be my second shot at this challenge, having done one after @verhp11 challenged me a few weeks ago. Based on my past music posts and comments on his posts I guess he thought I would have something of value to offer this challenge so I am eager to see if I indeed do. This challenge made me really have to start thinking about the way back indeed. I grew up in the 70's and early 80s so that was a while ago.
And so here we are go again for a Day#3 of the challenge. I love these kinds of challenges, I have so many music related memories, and it is great I can write about them. Music has always been a big part of my life and still is, even today as an "oldster"!
Im going to get mushy on this one, actually, not a favorite song but a memory none the less. I met my wife of nearly 36 years at Montana State, and started dating her late in my sophmore year, 1979. We used to sit in her dorm room and make out and she liked this guy, Rex Smith, so we had to listen to her music when we were in there. She really didn't like my kind of music. Rex was a heart throb guy back in the 1970s and he had a big hit called "You Take My Breath Away". Seems like we listened to that song A LOT. Here it is for your soft rock listening pleasure. :)
Rex Smith - You Take My Breath Away
It isn't the best song ever, am I right?
The rules:
- Choose one song from your high-school/college years.
- Write a few words about who made you listen to this song for the first time, what this song means to you (was it a breakup song? you blasted it at 100% on your audio system when you were partying with your friends?) whatever you want.
- Write your text while listening to the song. As soon as the song ends, wrap up what you where writing and submit it.
- Do this for 7 days in a row if you get nominated
- Mention one person who should do this on each day.
- Tag it with #musicwaybackchallenge and include these rules at the bottom of your post
I nominate @lordvdr for this challenge, I have no idea if he is up for it but it is someone I know from Montana so lets see.
