summer.

There's a memory in every song, and I have come to realize that my favorite ones take place in this season. These songs take me back to the last day of grade school, my friends' secret lair (it's what we call the "shack"), the passenger seat of our old family car, my first trip to a foreign beach, and then some.

my ghosts of summers past:

2005: Ocean Avenue -Yellowcard

          Jump -Simple Plan

2006: Time To Dance -Panic! At The Disco

          Tell Me Baby -Red Hot Chili Peppers    

2007: Pictures Of You -The Last Goodnight

          Dark Blue -Jack’s Mannequin

2008: Wine Red -The Hush Sound

          Cross Your Fingers -The Summer Set

2009: Summer Hair = Forever Young -The Academy Is...

           BigCityDreams -NeverShoutNever! 

2010: In The Next Room -Neon Trees 

           Medicine -Grace Potter &The Nocturnals

          Sometimes -A Rocket To The Moon

my ghosts of summers present:

2011: I Wanna Be The One -Fun.

                   My Brain Says Stop But My Heart Says Go -FM Static

                   Changing -The Airborne Toxic Event

I'm really looking forward to the memories of my summer future.

Speaking of memories, you know what's great and unique about them? The more you share them, the more you keep them.
