Emotionally Charged Songs

Generally, songs do not make me cry. However, I have strong emotional attachments to certain songs.


Either Way by Guster

This isn't a big cry song, but I'm if I am in the right mood it can bring the tears. This is probably my favorite song of all time. It was that song that made me fall in love with the band. The lyrics are beautiful and haunting...I so love it. I guess they sort of remind me of me...especially the person I was at the time I heard the song and the person I have become in the past few years.

Guster by So Long

Again, this isn't a huge tear jerker, but the lyrics can get me if I am in a certain mindset. These lyrics remind me of the one relationship I honestly wish would have ended differently, but at the same time I have no regrets. The relationship was short, but it taught me what love really feels like. I can only hope to find that feeling again. I fell in love with a person, but the man he became when he demons came to play I didn't stand a chance. As much as I miss him, I know I can't be with the person he becomes when he doesn't take his antidepressants like he should. I don't regret moving on. It had to be done. He broke my heart, I will probably always miss him, but I know I can't put myself though all of it again.

Who I Am by Jessica Andrews

Yes...I picked the karaoke graphic for this one (although I do prefer the chartbuster version over the Sound Choice. I work for a dj/karaoke company of course I know the difference)...and I did it on purpose. This song isn't Guster...and to make it worse it is country (nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo) but this song I sang because we were doing "Russian Roulette" Karaoke (bar is dead, and we just start picking songs we never have sang before...and I knew this one from my Laredo days), is now my "show closer/Everything But Mine" (and only about 3 of you will get that...but oh well) song. I love it because lyrically it is my song. It again doesn't always make me cry, but sometimes I just really need to hear it.

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him. This won't  be the blog I wanted to write tonight. It won't  be carefully crafted. That blog post will have to wait. Sometimes  you have to roll with the unexpected. Sometime you have to focus on what is really important. That means acknowledging that you have to make sure your priorities are in check. Sometimes you ha
