Songs I am Currently Addicted To

Someone Like You..Adele

I love her voice!  I love Rolling in the Deep, too, but for some reason this song resonates with me.  I think it is nostalgic of bad break-ups.  I have a couple in particular in mind, I won't air them here.  But it brings back a little of the pain.  The fact that I have a wonderful marriage and loving husband makes those feelings feel safe.  I think it is good to remember some of the things that have hurt us in the past and how we have moved past them.  On to better things.  It is true what they say...whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

If I Die Young...The Band Perry

This is such a tragic song!  I am actually slightly appalled with myself for liking it so much.  It is so sad, who wants to think of themselves dying young, or their daughter dying young.  But it is such a beautiful song and I love the singer's voice.

Despicable Me..Pharrell

Yes, the song from the movie.  It's funny, and when I am having a bad day, it is perfect.  It's like all the "bad guy" things of the movies (using a chain saw, using a heat ray) he "poo poo"s and thinks his way (using a freeze gun) is better.  I feel that way sometimes.  Why do people do things the hard way when my way would be sooooo much easier?  I do believe that if the world ran according my rules and wishes it would run much better and everyone would be much happier.

I am a Rock...Simon and Garfunkel

This is my "I am not going to let little things get to me" song.  I am a rock, I am an island!  Little irritating things are not going to penetrate my emotional barrier.  And it is going to be hard to get to me, anyway, because I am an island....I am way out there!  I like to listen to this to psych me up for a tough day.

Edge of Glory...Lady Gaga

Why not?  I'm on the edge of something.  Sanity, maybe?  It's just and upbeat fun song that makes me happy.  And I need a song that makes me happy.  I am noticing a trend in this post of depressives....not cool.  I like a lot of happy songs too.  But happy songs don't tug at your emotional heartstrings as much.  I think that is why they don't stick with me as much.  But I do like a lot of upbeat happy music...Pink, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, NKOTB (love my New Kids!), and a lot from Glee.

I love music.  I play it constantly and I turn up every great song that I hear.  And that is a lot of them.  My kids love music, too.  Gabe told me the other day.."Aerosmith is awesome!"  And Calah loves Taylor Swift.  At least they have good taste!
