My new favorite song

Every once in a while I hear a song I like and it becomes my favorite song. I'm not your ipod carrying, digital music listening kind of guy... yet ... so most of my music listening is still in the car or on the stereo at home before dinner or on the weekends. This means I don't get tired of hearing the song even if it is popular and gets played often.

In most cases it lasts a while and even if years pass I continue to like it. Now don't think that I only like new stuff. These are new favorites, I have old favorites as well. Some of the 80's stuff is stuck in my brain forever even if it isn't that good. I think that is a teenage thing that stays with you. If you watched Scott Baio is 46 and pregnant you probably heard all the good songs mixed in quite well with the show.

The kids usually know the song as I tell them it's my favorite. Anytime they hear it they will come running to tell me my favorite song is on. They will do the same if they hear an Elvis song or see him on TV. They will do this with Silvana's favorites as well but hers don't change as often as mine do, I think.

Some recent examples:
Finger 11's Paralyzer
Pinks, Get the Party started (make fun all you want but with the kids this one is great)
No Doubt's Dont Speak

So long story to get to my new favorite which is a song by Jully Black called Until I Stay.
