Life Soundtrack

How incredible is music... It is probably one of the most powerful things I know... There is nothing worse or greater than a song that reminds you of a good time or a bad time. A song has the power to transport a person to a place or time without you even giving consent. One minute you are driving in your car and the next minute you are one the lake fishing with your dad ( the song "we were nearly freshman" comes to mind).I love music. I like listening to music more than most things... It is crazy to me how there is a song for almost every moment or situation a person could ever find themselves in. There is music for when you are in love (Faith Hill and Tim McGraw have some of my fave. duets), angry (heal diggin, boot stompin songs), sad(Mindy Smith sends the tears), and happy(Pop! Goes My Heart... enough said!). How is it that songs have the power to be every emotion at one time... For quite a long time I have wondered what the soundtrack of my life would look like. There is no doubt in my mind that it wouldn't be all over the spectrum. I would need a few Jock Jamish songs to represent my energy. A significant amount of sappy songs to demonstrate that most often I am an emotional basket case. There would also have to be a few good dance tunes.. These could represent a number of things. For now we will have them represent movement/change.I would need one good angry song (it would have to be a hidden track because that's nothing I would really want people to hear/see). I could also make a bold statement with the album cover... and write a lot of witty things on this inside pamphlet definitely not a disclaimer for the lyrics. The question is... would it be one people would rip off the Internet... or one of those must buys from a store.... Who knows really... its so far from being finished!
