   Jump Rope by Blue October. Amanda always had a positive outlook on life. Whenever I had a problem she would always smile and say things will get better. She never once made me feel worse and her attitude helped me through a lot of hard times.
   “Up, down, up, down. Life’s like a jump rope!”

   Owl city, fireflies. She was always a bit magical like that…
   and you know where it says “everything is never as it seems,” that bit really reminds me of her because nothing is ever as it seems with AV and it’s kind of been mixed up, like the clues she gives.
   Plus, Amanda always liked fireflies. She would catch some and then let them go because she didn’t want them to die inside a jar.

   On a different note, perhaps when we put all the songs together, it’ll be like some massive anagaram or something? I don’t know… (mainly because all my ideas at the moment seem to involve anagrams in some way.)

   Songs with a suspense theme in it.

   David Cook- Come back to me

   I was listening to it, and the lyrics really reminded me of her. Ex.
   ‘You say that you’re becoming someone else’-we think Amanda might have changed her appearence, maybe who she is, we do know she used different identities (Amy Vincent).
   ‘Just know i’m here whenever you need me i’ll wait for you’-We are looking for her and we’re [technicially] there for her.
   The main chorus (you’ll see if you look up the full lyrics, although we didn’t willingly set her free but still) reminds me of her situation a little too, as well as ‘I’ll keep your things right where you left them’ because although things have changed you guys are still helping people (the girl with the flute, and enduring BB&BS; work).

   izzap2, your anagram theory could be a possibility, but it would be a hard one. If that were the case, we would have to think what songs Amanda liked, or showed to Hal, Callie and Nia, because if we did it with all the songs we came up with, there would be alot of possiblities, but I think we should continue down that road as well.

   Sweet Unknown by TFK

7. tsukito29 07.16.2010

   Sharada by skye sweetnam. She always had her own world and didn’t care if people didn’t like her.

8. invisible 07.16.2010

   every time i listen to SIMPLE PLAN grow up it reminds me of amanda because in a way shes like a kid who wants to have fun and doesnt want to change.

9. invisible 07.16.2010

   o.m.g hal i just listend to the passenger and it reflects amanda so good

10. capri1722 07.16.2010

    What about Whoever She Is by The Maine? It just describes all these things that “she” could be (but after a little research online, I found out that “she”=life), and that “she” is just so variable and sort of mysterious, just like Amanda.

11. fashionista17 07.17.2010

    I can’t even find one.

12. AlexInvisible 07.17.2010

    “Satellite” by Guster. Amanda is Out of this World!!

13. ICUPEEKING 07.17.2010

    Secrets By:One Republic :)

14. PoshKat 07.17.2010

    ‘Priscilla’ or ‘Horse and I’ By Bat For Lashes, because they’re kinda magical, actually any Bat For Lashes song :)

15. ChicGeek 07.17.2010

    the passenger…. could she have been a “passenger” on a bus, a train, a plane…

16. atllvr123 07.18.2010

    I thought There She Goes by Sixpence none the richer… Amanda’s always in the back of our minds….

17. B0rnAquarius 07.18.2010

    either Swingset Chain by Loquat - because the songs about letting go of something/one

    or Friend of a Friend by Foo Fighters - AV was herself and wouldnt change even though it might have been the smart thing to do

18. RRRules 07.18.2010

    AV is TOTALLY Defying Gravity. You know? From the Broadway Musical, Wicked?

19. izzap2 07.19.2010

    I have another one:
    Hey Soul Sister byt Train.

20. izzap2 07.19.2010

    and maybe… She’s always a woman to me, by fife dangerfield? sorry for all these different songs. I’m probably not helping.

21. GirlinBlack13 07.19.2010

    Valentino by Diane Birch
    For Good from Wicked
    I Don’t Want To Miss a Thing by David Cook (I like his version better then Aerosmith’s)

    Don’t Stop Believing by Journey
    Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson
    Suddenly I See by KT Tunstall

    Always Running Out of Time by Motion City Soundtrack
    Unwritten, Pocketful of Sunshine, Wild Horses: All by Natasha Bedingfield
    Hello Seattle By Owl City

    the climb by (barf) Miley cyrus

23. jessicahuey 07.19.2010

    13 reasons why is a book. it reminds me of the post.

24. SarahB 07.19.2010

    “Meet Virginia” by Train. It’s all about a girl who knows herself and is true to herself… that’s Amanda to me, to a tee.

    “She never compromises, loves babies and surprises, wears high heels when she exercises, ain’t that beautiful?”

25. fashionista17 07.21.2010

    I got one! Disappear by Beyoncé.  I love her!!

26. Hal Bennett 07.21.2010

    I am loving these songs. I’ve been listening to them as you post. Keep adding them, and I’ll make an imix on friday.

27. lil*dezray 07.21.2010

    how bout One By One by… i think it’s Lebo M
    its african music. the guys who made the lion king 2 made the video 4 tht song.
    i think its beautiful n original n that there’s nothing quite like it.

28. B0rnAquarius 07.23.2010

    Blue by the Jayhawks
    reminds me of how veryone is kinda feeling right now- proud of what we’ve done but sad at the loss of AV

29. Juhlien_Black 07.23.2010

    Rabbit Heart by Florence + The Machine

    “Who is the lamb and who is the knife?”

    Amanda seems like the victim, and like the perpetrator all at once.

30. Milana 07.24.2010

    Amanda didn’t like music (or so she told me).  She said it gave her headaches, and it was one of the many things we argued about.  If she had a song to describe her, it would be…

    “Human” from The Killers.
    “Resistance” from Muse.
    “Breakaway” from Kelly Clarkson.

31. EllaMarie 07.25.2010

    Together by Michelle Branch (on the soundtrack of the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.) Its nice song to describe of her. (of anyone, really. When their together.)

32. Elisha~Rose 08.01.2010

    For ‘A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words’. My computer would not allow me to post there though! Sorry if I’m bringing up old conversation..
    Heyya everyone! You’re doing great! Just wondering, at school, or at the local library, do they keep marridge/ birth/ death certificates? Surely somewhere must have important records! There could be one for A.V or I.T; if not in this town, posssibly their home town? If Amanda has mentioned her home town to someone, we can try tracing her there. The local priest may even remember christening her, or he may have been the priest involved in marrying Amanda’s parents. It’s worth a try, is it not? I have a feeling Amanda’s local home town would have a certain quirky charm to it- possibly a landmark of some kind… A perfect exuse to go down and visit!
    PS. I am aware Nia has had a peek into the secretary’s office files before. It helps to have a key when you need to open a locked door…
    Good luck everyone! Keep it up!

33. Elisha~Rose 08.01.2010

    Sorry, my message has posted twice now :( That shouldn’t have happened… Hope my message helps someone! Paloma Faith’s ‘Do You Want The Truth Or Something Beautiful?’ reminds me of Amanda. What do we want? The truth? Or something beautiful..? When we do find Amanda, Florence And The Machine’s ‘Dog Days Are Over’ would be a very fitting song to play. Florence is, quite frankly, an amazing singer; she stands out proudly, just like Amanda. She doesn’t follow follow fashion, on it’s rediculously high stilloetto heels. She is unique, as unique as Amanda, and I think she deserves to be mentioned. Go Amanda, go Florence!!!!

34. izzap2 08.01.2010

    ...I have more!

    Florence and the machine (thanks for the reminder, Elisha~Rose!) Cosmic love
    and Jason Mraz, I’m yours.

35. Elisha~Rose 08.06.2010

    Our name is our virtue!! I love Jason Mraz’s video for that song, it is amazing! Ellie Goulding is cool, and so is Diana Vickers, I have to say. Howl might be my fave song off the ‘Lungs’ album, or My Boy Builds Coffins’. :) Cosmic Love is pretty cool though, with Kiss With A Fist and Hurricane Love. I’m listening to Florence right now actually! Marina & The Diamonds are different, I like them :)

    I’m not calling you a liar, just don’t lie to me. I’m not calling you a thief, just don’t steal from me. I’m not calling you a ghost, just stop haunting me   lal la laaaa. She is soo cool, she deserved to win Britain’s Album of the Year 2010. My and my friend were watching that on the telly, both on our phones, so when it was announced we were screaming like crazy and texting each other as quickly as possible (which for me is quite slow)..! issap2, do you have Florence’s album?

36. Hal Bennett 10.06.2010

    I totally spaced and forgot to tell you guys that the mix is up! http://www.theamandaproject.com/shop. Thanks for all of your suggestions. I think it came out awesome. - Hal

37. SarahB 10.06.2010

    That’s fab, Hal!

    Unfortunately, the mix can only be seen by people in the US… could you post the list of songs (with artists) that made it onto the mix, so that I can go buy them on the UK itunes and make my own Amanda iMix?

    Cheers! :)
