You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

This song by Bob Dylan was released on his 15th (yes, 15th) studio album Blood on the Tracks in 1975.

Surprisingly, I had never heard this song until last week when I went to the Miley concert, but I love it.  She first cover the song on the Bob Dylan tribute album Chimes of Freedom which was released in January 2012.

The album is four discs with a total of 73 tracks.  Singers, musicians, and bands on the album include, but are not limited to:  Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Ziggy Marley, Sting, The Gaslight Anthem, Lenny Kravitz, Miley Cyrus, Elvis Costello, Natasha Bedingfield, Jackson Browne, Jack's Mannequin, Adele, Carly Simon, Bad Religion, My Chemical Romance, RedOne, Nils Lofgren, Darren Criss, Sinéad O'Connor, Kesha, Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band, and of course Bob Dylan.

The album was for charity with the proceeds going to the organization Amnesty International.  The record debuted in the United States at number 11 with 22,000 copies, while the 2-CD Starbucks version debuted at 38 with more than 10,200 copies sold.

Be my valentine

I love listening to a good love song. Slow ones especially make me want to fall in love on the spot. One of my favorite love songs is "Valentine" by Nils Lofgren. It is my parent's wedding song, so it is just as important to me as it is to them. Behind Lofgren's voice, you can faintly hear Bruce Springsteen as well. The song is the perfect wedding song but I need would have thought to make it my wedding song.

A Few of My Favorite Things

This is a list of songs that mean something in my life.  Some of them have a heartfelt meaning, while others are just because they make me happy.

1. You and Me - Lifehouse - I danced to this song with both of my brothers at my older brother's wedding this past September.
2. This Magic Moment - Jay and the Americans - When I was four-years-old, this was my song with my dad.
3. Valentine - Nils Lofgren - This is my parents' wedding song.
4. Just The Way You Are - Bruno Mars - Even though I was fifteen when this song came out, it can still be my song with my mother.  Right?
5. Part of Your World - The Little Mermaid - The Little Mermaid has been my favorite movie since I was two-years-old.
6. Take On Me - A-ha - This one is a little stupid.  I like this song because it is my favorite song to dance to in the game Just Dance 3.
7. Torn - Natalie Imbruglia - When this song came out in 1998, it was my favorite song.

True Love Ways

I'm young, but that hasn't stopped me from thinking about my wedding. A lot of girls dream about their gorgeous dress, creamy cake, and of course their devastatingly handsome husband. I dreamed of all of that - and also my wedding song. My parents' wedding song is "Valentine" by Nils Lofgren. They not only chose it because it showed their love, but because no one else has that as their wedding song. My dream wedding song is "True Love Ways" by Buddy Holly. My appreciation for Buddy Holly has grown so much over the years and being the huge music lover that I am, I think that song really defines who I am. Now all I have to do is marry a man who has the same appreciation for music as I do.
