Today, I am very grateful for music! I'm grateful for the feelings
and memories that are related to certain songs. This came about
specifically tonight when I began listening to my Simon and Garfunkel
pandora station and the song "Country Roads" by John Denver came on.
This
song has special meaning to me, you see when I drove covered wagons
this summer I found myself driving 30% of the time by myself. Several
times when I was alone I would sing to myself to help pass the time, or
because I was bored, or just simply because at times if felt
appropriate. The only problem is... there are only a few songs that I
actually know ALL of the words to. Inevitably, I would find myself
singing this particular song, because after all I was driving on country
roads in the mountains, but also especially when I got home sick, or
missed my family. Oh, and knowing all the lyrics is an added bonus.
Do
you ever have those songs that just mean a lot to you because they
helped you through some tough times. That's what this song was for me.
It helped me overcome the stress I often felt, and helped soothe my
family sick heart, not only that but it also just brought peace.
I'm
grateful for the attachments that have to certain songs, because in a
way it helps me relive a portion of my life, if only for a few minutes.
