So... last night my iTunes deleted ALL of my music and playlists.
If anyone knows me really well they know that is one of the WORST things that could happen to me!!
I have a playlist for literally every mood I could possibly be in.
Because all of my playlists got deleted, I am starting from scratch. This reminded me on my efforts to be my best self.
Sometimes you have to literally start from scratch to get where you want to be. There will be hard times and easy times and tender mercies throughout. One tender mercy in regards to my music was that all of my files were saved, so I just need to download my music back onto my iTunes.
See? Tender mercy #1.
So for today's I want to express how thankful I am for good music.
Music is a perfect way of not only connecting with yourself, but others around you too. In fact I'm quite certain that good music brought my boyfriend and I together! And that's worked out for about four years now!
I've put together a small (my idea of small) list of songs that I believe everyone should know and listen to often because of their healing properties.
These are some of my most favorite treasures:
Don't Know Why -- Norah Jones
Josh McBride -- The Head and The Heart
The World Spins Madly On -- The Weepies
Patron Saint -- Regina Spektor
Rocketman -- Elton John
Danny's Song -- Anne Murray
River's and Roads -- The Head and The Heart
Wonderwall -- Ryan Adams
Such Great Heights -- The Postal Service
A Lack of Color -- Death Cab for Cutie
Free Fallin' -- John Mayer
Ghosts -- Laura Marling
When You Were Young -- Benjamin Frances Leftwich
Hallelujah -- Jeff Buckley
Let it Be -- The Beatles
Seat Beside Me -- The Head and The Heart
Seat Beside Me -- The Head and The Heart
Upward Over the Mountain -- Iron and Wine
Landslide -- Fleetwood Mac
Wake Up -- Arcade Fire
Chasing Rubies -- Hudson Taylor
Lovers' Eyes -- Mumford & Sons
The Way I Am -- Ingrid Michaelson
Samson -- Regina Spektor
Down in the Valley -- The Head and The Heart
Comes and Goes -- Greg Laswell
Welcome Home -- Radical Face
Won't Turn Back -- Needtobreathe
Gosh. There's so more I could mention than that.. but I will stop!
I am extremely interested in hearing your favorite songs that mean something to you!

Okay, I'm having a really difficult time posting a comment here. I tried twice and it didn't work, and then it did work, but I realized it was a comment on the wrong post. BAH! Hopefully this one works. The song that comes to mind right now is
ReplyDeleteWe Are Nowhere and It's Now by Bright Eyes.
Stinkin song makes me either cry or come close to it.

Hey cute girl! I read this and had to at least post something. I'm like you and can just list forever! I'm a huge fan of the Goo Goo dolls of course, my favorites from them are Iris and Treasure Planets "I'm still here" (Jim's theme). Two of my favorites. But one of my all time favorites (which there is a lot!) is Dream by Priscilla Ahn. But I can't forget to mention You and I by Ingrid Michelson. There's a few for ya that I LOVE!!
