Dear Music,

Dear Music,

Thank you for all that you bring to my life. Today I was at the gym and right around 9:00 my body was telling me that I was tired. My ear phone fell out and for a couple seconds I debated just throwing in the towl and going home. Then I hear "Hate me now" playing in my other ear. I put the other ear phone in and made sure that was all I could hear. The music became my thoughts. I couldn't think about anything else at that point. All I could do was feel the emotions that song brings. I not only was back in workout mode but I was ready to hit it hard.

There are songs that speak to my life. The lyrics seem like they are describing my life. And its like some how hearing those words helps me cope. Sometimes it is screaming the words of the songs along with the singer that brings healing. Pretending like you are singing to the person who broke your heart or to the world who doesn't seem to understand. And sometimes the lyrics move me to tears. Maybe there are lyrics that resonate with me. Words that I have not been able to speak.

I can't sleep... there is something missing. Tonight I seek that song that speaks to my soul. The song that vocalizes the feeling I have. A song that reminds me someone else out there thought the same thing.

I have been listening to a lot of tunes without purpose lately. I miss my country music. My coffee shop tunes that are full of soul. Tomorrow is a new day.
