Songs to the Ex

Extra! Extra! The Top 5 Topic is in. Since, Travis got bumped last week by Louis' wedding songs, he gets two weeks in row. And Louis, you Better! participate!

Also, an FYI. I've added two new items to the blog: 1.) Related YouTube videos and 2.) A list of of the bands/artists that have been featured on Top 5 Friday with links to their sites.

From Travis:

After the request last week of the lovely first dance wedding songs, this week I want to go the opposite route and get a glimpse of everyone's relationship breakdown moments. My topic this week is "Songs to the Ex." I want to see all the anger, happiness, heartache, torment, guilt, lies, hate, attraction, relief, honesty, despair, loneliness, depression, and freedom that happens when he/she becomes an ex. Share your levels.

Have Fun.

I love you more. No. I love you more. No I love . . .

Gettin' Hitched

Per Louis' request:

"I know I really haven’t contributed much the past couple weeks, but I really couldn’t get a list of 5 songs together that I thought would fit…. Heavy metal is not really my thing… I would like to make a request for next week’s topic if that’s alright.

As you may have heard, my fiancée and I are getting married next March, and we just hired our DJ…. Well, we’re looking for a good song for our first dance and I was wondering if the group would mind suggesting a few for us to consider."

So.....this week's topic is First Dance Wedding Songs. LAMO!!!
