The power of a song

Music is a huge thing in my house.  More so with Thing 1 and I than Thing 2 and Hubs.  Thing 1 and I will sing loudly when songs we really like come on the radio.  This basically means that we sing loud...a lot.  His taste is very much similar to mine, we like good beats, and catchy words.  We are primarily country fans but appreciate all types of music.  I have been noticing more and more lately that some songs really do play when you need to hear them. 

I recently bought a CD I have been wanting to get.  It's Lee Brice's new one.  He has a song on there called "Life Off My Years"  The key lyrics that are in the song are "What's the use of life if you don't live it? You sip your water I'll drink my beer? Yeah, I'll take years off my life before I'll take life off my years."

That hits ya kinda hard doesn't it? Imagine hearing while your recovering from a life lost too soon!  How about this one..."Til my last day, Til my last breath, Of everyone that can, I can love you the best
Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you, All the way up, til they lay me down, Six feet under, the cold hard ground Til my last day, I'll be lovin' you
"  That little reminder is brought to you by Justin Moore.  I tend to hear that one more when I am home with the kids and they are in bed and Hubs is at work and we are on one of our stretches of not really seeing each other.  It's a nice reminder that when it's real and right, that is how it should be.

Those are just a few songs that tend to get turned up when they are on. It doesn't matter if your angry, happy, sad, unsure, or what.  A song can come on and it will match you perfectly.  Who knew something as simple as a few note and words played on the radio could make such an impact.
