Let me start by saying while I have absolutely NO musical talent what so ever I love music. I was raised in a an environment where music was an everyday part of my life. I consider songs and the simple sounds of music to be the very soundtrack of my life. Do others of you feel this way? Do you hear a song and have it transport you to a different time or place in your life? Think about a special person perhaps? There are songs that I will always identify with a certain person. A great example of this is "Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley, my dad would play me that song when I was sad as a child. Now whenever I hear it, it just makes me smile and think of him. Then there are the sweet songs that make you think of an ex boyfriend or lover...and they might not even be the most romantic of songs, but they were YOUR song! I love how someone has taken the power of the written word, put it with melody, music, etc and made it so that it is shared with the world in a way that just a poem or short story might not have?

Ok, that is my ramble for today...may you all have the joy of hearing a song that makes you get a smile today!
