Do you like this song playing in the background? It's Amos Lee and I discovered him awhile back. I love his voice, his words...and he's not bad to look at either. Just about every one of his songs touches me, makes me feel as though he's singing about my life. Isn't it amazing how a song can make you 'feel' something? I remember my first broken heart and the song that I kept playing over and over, "Hard to say I'm sorry," by the group Chicago. I played it so much that my mother finally came into my room, took the cassette tape and smashed it to bits. I was devastated but in a way, she did me a favor. Although music can move you it can make you 'stand still' at the same time. Music can keep you some place that you really need to leave behind but sometimes, it can carry you to some place better, if you let it. I have a hard time picking a favorite song but I've made it a point to pick a song almost every day that reflects how I feel, where I want to be, who I want to be. So far, it's making me feel a bit less 'damaged. Tell me, has there been music that has moved you, made you feel, made you hope, given you faith?
P.S. Remember if you like any of the music I have playing here...you can download it from the 'My Favorite Music' link on the sidebar.

There are so many songs that touch me and I grew up in a home where music was the norm so it has always been a big part of my life.
For some reason, the song "Partners in Crime", an instrumental by Jim Brickman and Dave Koz just does something to me. Everytime I play it, it makes me feel alive with complete joy. I'm also a big Josh Groban fan. I believe music is one of the most lovely and powerful gifts we are given. Thanks for this post.
People can be so cruel it can make us feel damaged but blogs like ours are changing that.Times are changing and its my hope that more and more people will not be ashamed to ask for help and live healthier , happier lives.
I cannot emphasis enough how much I appreciate bloggers honesty .
Thanks for sharing.

PS: Music is good for the soul.
After a few days, I moved on to Romeo and Juliette by Dire Straits. Equally painful, and anything but cathartic.
There... if that didn't make you feel better, nothing will ;-)
