Isn’t it funny how songs can take you back

To a place and time and feeling

They can make tears well up and your throat burn

A song can give you goosebumps and make you shiver deep inside

You relive the moment in your soul not just your mind

A song can make you move parts of your body you didn’t know you could move anymore

The words can move you to speak or move you to be silent

A song can turn you into a rockstar or maybe even a crooner

Lyrics and music can express just how you feel even if you are tone deaf

The words of a song can haunt you, forcing you to change the station

Words set to music…therapy for your innermost being

The part of you that makes you..you

Songs can define you, tell others who you really are and bring you together

Listening to the radio on a Sunday night to hear the top 40 and catching my favorite ones on my cassette recorder=amazing

Remembering how it felt to be 14, laying on my bed, in love with Ken Barbaree, writing down the lyrics to Straight from the heart and dreaming

A song is our connection…to our memories –

“There’s a sign on the wall
But she wants to be sure
‘Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook
There’s a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiving” Stairway to Heaven Led Zepplin
