Moments in Time
Songs that I associate with specific events and the stories behind them!
Oh! Sweet Nuthin!-The Velvet Underground
When I was in 7th grade Amber was driving me back from getting my dance pictures taken and we took this weird way home that made us drive through the mountains. I have no idea where we even were but we had the windows down and this was playing and she kept threatening to drift around the corners.
Peach Pit-Peach Pit
In 8th grade we had this event called dessert night and it's basically the last big gathering before graduation and this song came on while we were driving to it and it was sunset and it was very bittersweet!
About You-The 1975
In december of 2023 Autumn, Amber, and I all went to the Snoopy ice skating rink together and it was super cold out so we got ramen and it was really bad and the place was gross and then we were driving home and this song was blasting.
Feathered Indians-Tyler Childers
Just the entire summer of 2024 was this song. Mia, Miles, and I sang it together so many times.
Life Goes On-The Sundays
During senior year I was super sad and one day I was driving home and this song came on and it somehow completely shifted my mindset. That day it was super springy out and sunny and I rolled down my windows and I was like "omg wait! life goes on!"
Red Moon-Big Thief
When Amber and I went to picnic day before we were actually students we were pretty nervous about starting here and did not know our way around at all. We were walking by what I now know is wellman hall and we heard someone playing music so we went down into the courtyard to check it out and they were playing this song. It was crazy because it had been our favorite song at the time so hearing it was like oh okay this is fate we are right where we are supoosed to be.
Float On-Modest Mouse
On senior ditch day we all went to Stinson beach and I was freaking out driving in circles trying to find parking and it was a really nice day and we had the windows down and this song was playing in the car
Me & Magdalena-The Monkees
When we went to yosemite in august 2025 with the entire family we were in the car entering the park and I had my airpods in and we passed through the gate and at that same moment that we started driving this song started playing
we fell in love in october-girl in red
The last night that jack was home before moving away for school we all went up to partrick and we met up with some of their other friends and we had a buzzball biggie and we all sat in the bed of ryans truck and just hung out. Then Mia drove us down the mountain and jack miles and i went out the windows of the car and smoked a cigarette on the roof of the car while she was driving and this song was playing on max volume which is also funny bc the lyric is literally 'smoking cigarettes on the roof'.
Heart of Gold-Neil Young
This was playing when my car got totaled. I had windows down, ice tea in my hand, and this song playing and then that old lady decided it was time to destroy my car. Anyways yeah the music does keep playing when you crash or whatever.
Piano Man-Billy Joel
First quarter helena would play this on the piano a lot and we would all sing along.
Blackbird-The Beatles
kinda two different memories: 1. Just listening to this so much as a little kid and having mom play it. 2. When we had that dorm party and we were all laying in the bed and this came on and we all sang together.
Flower of Blood-Big Thief
We soft launched to this song lol
Cupid De Locke-The Smashing Pumpkins
Driving all the way up the one lane part of partrick with ia in my moms car with the sunroof open looking up at all the trees
It's All Over Now, Baby Blue-Bob Dylan
when we stumbled upon that music group in the arb and joined them and helena played piano and they all played this song and sung
Mother Big River-Jessica Pratt
Walking to the museum to perform dabke and i went through the arb and this song played and it made me really sad and i saw a little black cat.
