Music & Lyrics

One of my passions... okay, okay Obsessions is music. I will listen to just about anything with a good beat or melody. Music is my release. The best way to just relax it turn on some good tunes and zone out. Lyrics can speak to a person, tell a story, and create a whole world, it can also change your world simple straight forward lyrics.

"You never stop loving somebody, you just start loving someone else." -Big & Rich
I heard this the other day and was completely blown away. Its true, you never stop loving those people that come into your lives you just start loving someone else.

"If you want to hear God laugh tell him your plans." - Van Zant
It seems any time I make plans or have my life going in the right direction, well if not the right direction the direction I chose things always get blown all to heck, and sometimes I wonder if God is just laughing.

"Someday I'll wish up on a star and wake up where the world is far behind me, where troubles melt like lemon drops." -Judy Garland
Don't you wish there was a place were your troubles could just melt away?

"And I thought I loved you then." - Brad Paisley
A story of looking back and realizing how much more you love a person that at the time you couldn't imagine loving anymore than the day you met them and then you realize, you love them even more.

"Life's a dance you learn as you go, sometimes you lead sometimes you follow, don't worry bout what you don't know" - John Michael Montgomery
That feeling you get when you are asked to dance and then you realized that you have no idea how to do it? Life is like that and this song lyric captures that and tells you just to go with it. Love it!

"And it might take a million miles till I forget your smile." Brooke White
Now this song rips your heart out and stops on it but its probably one of my all time favorites. I had someone that I loved more than I thought possible and it will take more than a million miles to forget his smile.

"Twas Grace that taught me how to fear and Grace my fears relieved." John Newton
No explanation needed.

All important people in my life have their own "theme music" okay, so its their ringtone but as soon as I hear the song I know exactly who it is. Listening to the Beach Boys reminds me of my parents surprising us when we were little with a trip to Disneyland. 70's music brings back hot summers with the jukebox on the back patio. If information is put to a tune I will remember it forever.

What does music do to you? What emotions do certain songs evoke? What music makes you stop to reminisce?
