I am one of those people that always, and I mean ALWAYS, has some kind of song stuck in my head. The past few weeks it has been nursery rhymes and baby music in preperation of my son in a few months, but the past few days I have been stuck on love songs. Perhaps it is due to my husband being gone in the field for a few weeks, but it seems that every song that comes on the radio or that pops into my mind is a sappy love song. Don't get me wrong, I am a sucker for a good ballad and emotional ode to one's soulmate, but today is not the day to be so in tune with my heart. All of this oooey gooey-ness has me thinking about some of the best love songs that have ever marked my life. I made a list of the best ones and then cried like a baby listening to them lol.
Why is it, that whenever you go through something, there is always that quiet soundtrack playing in the background. Say your angry, and you are just in one of those moods where you want to break every dish in the house, do you do it to the latest Justin Bieber single? No, you turn on some ass kicking rock music (might I suggest something like Static X or Lamb of God). What about your granny and papa's 50th anniversary party, you will try to find something like Lionel Richie or Frank Sinatra, not the best of Brittany Spears. My point is, for every moment in life there is a song in the background. Typically the music will match the mood, but I think most people miss it. How many times have you left the radio in your car on low (or off) instead of cranking it up? I would almost bet money that the songs on the radio would have molded themselves into songs of sanctuary and provided some kind of comfort or peace. So my challenge to you would be the next time you are in the car, whatever your mood, turn on that radio and listen to what it has to say. You may be suprised.
