Throughout middle school I listened to Pop music mostly, it was the cool thing to listen to then. But then I hit High School, and that's when I started listening to Alternative and Rock heavily. I think my favorite band of all time would probably be Coldplay or Fall Out Boy, I'm too picky to decide.
"She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 is very significant to me. As a child, my dad's favorite album to listen to in the car was "Songs About Jane". I knew every song on that album and Maroon 5 is still close to my heart today. They're one of my favorite bands, but I like "She Will Be Loved" the best because it was the first one I memorized and I would walk around the house singing it all the time.
"Our Song" by Taylor Swift was another song I really liked when I was younger. Me and my best friend sang it to our moms one day just because we could. I still associate that song with a really good childhood memory.
"Rehab" by Amy Winehouse was another song I loved. I was on an Amy Winehouse kick for a really long time and listened to her album "Back to Black" about a million times over, but especially that particular song. I still find myself singing it in the shower sometimes.
"Chelsea Dagger" by the Fratellis is another song I really like. Every time before a band competition in High School I would listen to this song. It always got me really pumped and made me excited for performing.
"Clocks" by Coldplay is a classic that pretty much everyone has heard of. I enjoy this song because it's classic Coldplay and they're one of my favorite bands, it is a very calming song to me, and it was the first song I learned to play on the piano.
"21 Guns" by Green Day is another song that means something to me. It kind of described how I felt in a weird way when I was fighting with my two best friends at the end of my eighth grade year. We actually ended up going our separate ways anyway.
"Wonderwall" by Oasis was a song I really liked my Sophomore year of High School. I was utterly convinced I was in love with one of my really good friends. At the time, it described how I felt about him and gave me hope for the relationship in a weird way.
"I Will Be There" by Odessa was a song that meant a lot to me. I lost my grandpa my Freshman year of High School and he was really important to me. This song helped me get through a bit and made me feel better about the situations. Instead of a tissue, this song dried my tears.
"That's What You Get" by Paramore holds good and bad memories for me. It started off bad because it was my anthem after I had my heart crushed by a boy. But it eventually turned into something good when my best friend and I began playing rock band religiously. That song was our favorite to sing and play in the game. We had the highest score on that song, and when it comes on in the car I automatically blare it and sing along.
"Brick by Boring Brick" by Paramore helped me grow up in a weird way. I dug the meaning out of this one, the analytical part of my brain at work. To me, it means growing up and putting away the fairytales and childish things, to grow up and move on with your life. But it also has a really good beat.
I know most of these songs aren't all alternative or rock, but they mean something to me from the past as well as the present. If I could pick songs I like that have no meaning, there would be a lot more Nirvana, 3 Doors Down, other Paramore songs, and even My Chemical Romance.
