The Magic of Music

I have to gush for a moment... Oh Michael Buble how wonderful you are!

This mornings drive to work my vehicle was filled with the amazing song of, you guessed it, Mr. Buble (Lost). I love his music so much! I only own his first CD but I want them all. He has such a lovely voice and I really enjoy his style of music, it is such a welcomed break from anything else on the radio these days...

It's hard to find music, new music especially, with great lyrics. Lyrics are the reason I fall in love with songs, sure I have some favorite classic rock and even r&b tunes I sing along to but my all time favorite songs are the ones with lyrics that speak to me. Poetry!

Another song that played this morning that surprised me with it's magical verse was by Marianas Trench called Beside You:

When your tears are spent on your last pretense and your

tired eyes refuse to close and sleep in your defense. When it's

in your spine like you've walked for miles and the only thing

you want is just to be still for a while

if your heart wears thin I will hold you up and I will hide you

when it gets too much

I'll be right beside you

When you're overwhelmed and you've lost your breath when

the space between the things you know is blurry and the words

you want are out of reach but they've never been so loud

I will stay. Nobody will break you

Trust in me. Don't pull away

I'm just trying to keep this together, because I could do worse,

and you could do better

Some of my other ultimately favorite songs:

Strawberry Fields Forever - Beatles (also the version by Ben Harper)
Amen, Omen - Ben Harper
A Lack of Color - Death Cab for Cutie
Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkle

...to name a few!
I love poetry! What a wonderful way to start the day :)
