Soundtrack

Have you ever wondered what the soundtrack of your life would be?

I feel like the random shuffle on my ipod is the best place to start. Somehow that little gadget always knows the song to play out of thousands to jog a memory or a feeling. When driving to my mom's the other day, "Another Day in Paradise" by Phil Collins played. This song always reminds me of the hard life my mom has had, how brave she is, and how proud I am to be her daughter.

Artists on my soundtrack would have to include: James Taylor, Jimmy Buffett, Jewel, Dixie Chicks, John Denver, Beyonce, Alabama, Indigo Girls, Carbon Leaf, Stevie Nicks, Beastie Boys, Vertical Horizon, Dave Matthews Band, Til Tuesday and Counting Crows.... these are the ones that immediately come to mind.

Music can heal, can remind you of the things that really matter, can stir emotions you thought long buried. Music should be an integral part of every day.
