Music Speaks

Music speaks to me. My heart swells, feels like it's gonna burst. I've come to believe I am not alone in this, you can see it the people at a concert or in worship at church. I love personal lyrics when you relate to the song, and you think they are explaining your soul. Most times it's hard for me to explain or even know for sure what I am feeling, then you hear it in a song; awwhh, you feel at peace, like you are not alone in what you feel. I get in these ruts of certain singers or style of music. I am pretty much open to anything (except country; absolute NO) but I love music. Here is some of the lines speaking to me now...

"And it's hard to lead the life you choose,
All I wanted
When all your lucks run out on you.
All I wanted
And you can't see when all your dreams are coming true.
Oh yeah, it's easy to forget, yeah.
And you choke on the regret, yeah.
Who did I think I was?"

This one is goo goo dolls Sympathy, I love the line in bold. It's hard for me to dream sometimes, or at least remember them. It seems like it's easy to go with the flow and do what is expected and normal instead of some of the wild and bold things I have dreamt of doing. I don't want to live in regret, I want to live in the now and in God's awesome gift of faith He's given us to jump in and do crazy things for the Kingdom!

"far better is to be with You even for a day
than to live, a thousand years, and to never see one glimpse of your face.
As for me, I want to be close to you."

The desperation band is one of my favs. I am a little obsessed with all their songs (except where that one guy sings kinda funny) but this one seems self explanatory. I sometimes feel like I lived a thousand years without the Lord, and I don't want that again for anything. His love is SO much more fulfilling and amazing than anything else I've ever tried. I am so in love.

Well, you win, it's your show now
So what's it gonna be
Cause people will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see
Before we lose touch of
We thought this was low
Well, it's bad, getting worse so
Where'd all the good people go

They got this and that
With a rattle'l'tat
Testin, 1, 2
Man, what you gonna do
Bad news, misused
Got too much to lose
Gimme some truth
Now whose side are we on
Whatever you say, turn on the boobtube
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray, and by the way now

Where'd all the good people go
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

Sitting around, feeling far away
So far away, but I can feel the debris
Can you feel it
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great it's all gonna be
You might notice some hesitation
Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me
But way down by the edge of your reason
Well, it's beginning the show

Station through station
Desensitizing the nation
Where'd all the people go
Going, going, gone

Ok, I have this obvious obsessive love affair with good 'ol Jack. He sings with all the things my over analytical mind wonders about, and I agree almost every time with the issues he chooses to emphasize. I think our society is so desensitized with the tragedies all over the world because of the television, and the words in bold describe exactly all the downfalls of our choices to idolize T.V. and the people who are on it. Things are getting worse,and the world is begging for some truth. I am changed by this song.

Ok, so now it's your turn. Tell me some of your favorites and why...
