5 Songs That Make Me Feel Happy, Sad, and Nostalgic
the halstead blog

There comes a point in life when you can't listen to songs the same way. When the songs used to make you happy now make you sad or vice versa. And then there are the songs that make you remember how you felt in that moment of time. Here are only 5 songs out of many that I listen to differently now and always make me feel either happy, sad, or nostalgic.

1. "For Always, Forever," by Every Avenue

This song brings me back to the memories I have with my high school best friend. When we would belt this out at the top of our lungs back then, and we were as happy as can be. Sometimes I get teary eyed when I hear this song because she and I aren't as close now as we are back then, and I miss her.

2. "Skinny Love," by Bon Iver

This song makes me both happy and sad. Reminding me of how I felt in past relationships which makes me feel a little sad, but also happy because of how great my current relationship now. Yes I know that sounds a little weird, but I think most people understand that feeling.

3. "I Love You Always," by The Icarus Account

When hearing this song the first time I remember thinking that I wanted to know what it felt like to feel that kind of love. And now this song makes me so happy when I hear it because I have that kind of love in my life now.

4. "Scars," by James Bay

This song may be newer than the others, but I still find myself listening to it differently than most songs. It reminds me of my the best friend I've had for about 11 years, and you know sometimes with friends of the opposite sex try to go into the relationship realm and it doesn't work out. Well, that happened to us but I never imagined that we wouldn't be friends ever. It took awhile but we kinda mended that relationship and we have remained friends, but we are not as close as we once were.

5. "Straight Outta Compton," N.W.A

I know this sounds kinda weird and I know this song is way different than the others. But this song reminds me of car rides with my brother, who recently moved across the country to California, and him rapping along with every word. And I would try to rap along with him, but then ending up laughing and looking at him and being amazed at how he knows all the words.


I know all of us have songs that make us feel a certain way and that also brings back all sorts of memories. These are some of mine, let me know some of yours in the comments.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
