Zac Brown Band - "Toes"

G-Man

Paramore - "Misery Business"

We should have given emo or whatever you want to call this kind of music more of a break. While we were all lamenting the loss of true "Rock", the pop stars took over our divided ranks. Songs like this still stand the test of time, and harken back to a time that should be revered the 2000s. Maybe I only feel this way because this song was track #1 on a mix CD that a smoking hot girl made for me back in '08. Memories....

Bryan Adams - "Shine A Light"

Canada Day Saturday!!! What WHAT!!

G-Man

Matthew Ryan - "Guilty"

This song was always around me, but never directly in my crosshairs. Until recently. It's imperfections are what used to keep this song on the outskirts, but now, they're what make the song great. Genuine heart and soul.

From Autumn To Ashes - "Take Her To The Music Store"

In late Winter/Early Spring of 2007 I made the move to Toronto. Uprooted my life and moved in with a close friend of mine Jonny HP. We were both at a significant crossroad in our lives. We were glad to have someone to keep company with. Have a few drinks at the end of the day. Most of the time those nights were filled with music. Me sharing songs with him. Him sharing songs with me. I'm sure we did so much more during those days, but it's the nights of listening to music and talking until midnight that stick with me the most. Those songs always bring back memories from those years. This is one of those songs.

Stars - "Your Ex Lover Is Dead"

This one always brings me back to a girl that I was briefly with and things went poorly. We both let things just fade out and those 'icy cracks'....well I can still feel them today. Insane how some music can make memories so vivid.

Special Guest Pick!

Prince Cliff

David Usher - "Forest Fire"

Catch 44

 

Mr. T

Willie Nelson - "On The Road Again"

G-Man

Janet Jackson - "Together Again"

This song has seen something of a resurgence lately. not sure why. In my youth I always assumed this was about a couple that broke up. Now hearing it again with more grey in my beard, it seems to be about the loss or death of a loved one. Maybe a child? Hits you differently once you become a parent
