The power of a song

This post isn't something I would normally write about, but I'm trying to get more personal so you can get to know me more.

What is is about a song that can bring up so many memories?   It can stir up so many feelings and emotions, both good and bad. 

I heard this song a few days before I found out I was pregnant with Eleanor.  

I had recently experienced two pregnancy losses just a few months before and in that moment, I knew that I would be a mom somehow.  I doubt that was the purpose of the song, but it helped me so much the next 9 months. Every time I would get that nervous panicky feeling of what if, I'd listen to this song and it would calm me.

Then over the weekend I had a urge to listen to this song again. 

 This was the song that was played during our wedding ceremony when we lit the unity candle.  I haven't heard it in years, yet as soon as I hear it I can picture that moment.   Standing on the altar knowing I picked a super long song for such as short moment, but loving the lyrics and praying that I could live by them. 

These are two of the songs that stand out the most to me.  What are some of the songs that stand out for you?

Day 14-What's on your ipod

I don't listen to music much.  When I'm in my car I like silence. I use the time to think out loud (yeah I do talk to myself in the car). 

But I do have a few songs I listen to when I do turn a cd on.

1)  'Hit me with your best shot/one way or another' Glee mash up (Here)

2) 'Every storm runs out of rain' by Gary Alan (See here)

3) '10,000 reasons (Bless the Lord)' by Matt Redman (Here)

If I am at home and cooking sometimes I will turn on my Spice Girls Pandora station.  It plays lots of Spice Girls, Nsync, Backstreet Boys, and other pop bands of that time.
