Do you ever hear a song and it just gives you chills
‘cause it’s so powerful or hits so close to home? It’s like the artist is
singing your life. Well, that is what this Music Monday's songs are – songs
that just sing the moments and times in my life. These songs mean soooooo much
to me, I can't even begin to break it all down. They are songs that bring tears
to my eyes because they are powerful to me. So I will let the music speak where
I can't...
Papa Roach "Scars"
I know I have posted this before but seriously, listen to these words. So powerful!

Kid Cudi "Soundtrack
2 My Life"
The chorus is what got me with this song. It’s just him rapping his life.

Oddly enough, the next two songs are both on the same
soundtrack – SpaceJam.
R. Kelly "I
Believe I Can Fly"
This one gets me every time I hear it. So freaking great. Believe in yourself and it’s yours.

I think I am going to end this with a very, very powerful song… Ice Ice Baby.

ReplyDeleteit's always interesting to me to hear what songs really touch another person. it's like getting to see a glimpse of their soul, kwim? that's the amazing thing about music. it's so personal. each song, each lyrics, each note will affect various people in a million different ways.
i could go on and on about the songs that get to me. i'll just give you three for now.
whiskey by sam bradley. not for the drinking aspect, but the loneliness...
you'll be in my heart from tarzan (sung by usher.) this is my song for my nephew, who is like my own child. and he moved away. i still tear up every time i hear it.
bring me to life by evanescence. i felt like i was dead inside for a long time. i'm slowly waking back up again. so i relate.
thanks for sharing with us, brina!
all 3 are also in my favorites. thank you for comment. 💜
DeleteI know all about those songs that touch your heart. I can't even begin to tell you how much it hurts when I hear Masterpiece by Atlantic Starr. Or how often I fall apart when I hear Possibility by Lykke Li. NM was my favorite book because I lived that pain and both the song and the book were desperate reminders of it all. But that's how we make it through both the good times and the bad. Music and books and good movies transport us to a place where we can look back, and sometimes forward, with a small smile and say a silent Thank you for whoever it was that put out such a great piece of work that helped us get by.
ReplyDeleteOh and That's What Friends Are For was a great choice too cuz we love you so much and we're always always here for you babe.
Love you. Big hugs.
