PLAYLIST THURSDAY: Songs That Remind You of Childhood

This week’s Playlist Thursday was really a blast to put together. The theme, I’ll just get to right now. Songs That Remind You of Childhood. It was quite the fun little tour down memory lane!! I spent a good hour and a half just listening to a whole buttload of songs that remind me of childhood. There are just so so many. However, it wouldn’t be true to ‘childhood’ if I used a current song, so I changed the format up a little this week for mine. Just a tad… you’ll see ;)

New to playlist Thursdays? Here’s how it works: Every week Pavement Runner has a new theme for us all to make a post about. Three songs: Something Old (songs 5+ years old) , Something Current (songs released within the last year), and Something to Consider (the wild card)

This week Pavey’s adorable little darling is turning 1! So, in celebration we’re all taking a trip down memory lane with songs that remind us of childhood.

SOMETHING OLD: 

Title: Pop

Artist: NSync

Side Note: Oh yeah… I went there. Fun Fact? The NSync Pop tour was the first concert I ever went to. Oh yeah… ;) My mom and I went.. I must have been in like 6th or 7th grade? hahaaa

Quotable: “do you ever wonder why, this music gets you high? It takes you on a ride”

SOMETHING CLASSIC:

Title: Basket Case

Artist: Green Day

Side Note: I loved old school Green Day. Dookie, ahhh. Will always be one of my fav albums. My mom and I used to dance around the house to Green Day during their dookie era all the time. Its seriously one of my earliest memories. :) Funny enough, the second concert I went to was the Green Day & Blink 182 Pop DISASTER tour.. haha

Quotable: “Sometimes I give myself the creeps. Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me. It all keeps adding up, I think I’m cracking up”

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER: 

Title: Okay, I Believe You But My Tommy Gun Don’t

Artist: Brand New

Side Note: Okay… In all fairness this song doesn’t bring me back to chilhood but there are sosososososooooo many teen-years memories involving this song. Allen, Kyle, Dan… Many many road trips. The red civic… Oh jeeze. Nostalgia.

Quotable: I hope this song starts a craze. The kind of song that ignites the airwaves. The kind of song that makes people glad To be where they are, With whomever they’re there with.

  1. the songs that remind me most of childhood are backstreet boys and old country songs that my parents always listened to! hahaha. great question! spa love and happy thursday!

  2. hahaha I must be older then you, my childhood songs are by Madonna and Tiffany and New Kids. I love Green Day and remember the concert (thanks I’m adding this song to my playlist for my marathon).

  3. Weezer’s Green Album brings me back to summers in high school! Whenever I hear Island in the Sun, I’ll forever think of driving to the beach every morning in my friend’s Mustang blasting that album. LOVE it.

    PS I’m obsessed with Brand New. Deja Entendu was my 2nd favorite album, and Your Favorite Weapon is my #1 – hands down. They. Are. AWESOME.
