Thirteen Songs That Have Inspired me
These are songs that have touched me, still touch me and lift me up when I'm down. As usual, I couldn't include all of the music that gets me. Hope you enjoy.
1. Heaven Help Me
This new one has been running through my mind lately. I love Gretchen's new CD and her music really speaks to me. Yeah, I know. I'm a total redneck woman.
2. In My Daughter's Eyes
Martina McBride has several that have followed the diary of my life. I only picked two. LOL. This one ripped my heart out and when I found a video with "Pretender" and Miss Parker, well.....here you are.
3. Anyway
I can't even listen to this one in the car. It gets me every time.
4. That's The Way It Is
Right after my divorce, this song came out. I love it.
5. It's Easier To Run
Linkin Park has also been a huge part of my diary of life. It started with "Crawling" and has ended with a lifelong love of their music. Something about them tunes into the positive and negative emotions of my experiences and puts them to music.
6. In Loving Memory
This song came out after my father died. 'Nuff said.
7. All Of Me
Again, Evanescence has been a huge part of my music repertoire. Several could have made the cut, but this one has always been one of my favorites.
8. Evidence Of Love
A long time ago, I was struggling even more than I ever had before. At the time, "Sacred Journey" came out by First Call. The whole CD was awesome for me. This one is one of the most inspirational from it. They also did "Don't You Worry 'Bout A Thing" remake and it was great.
9. Spread Love
This also came out around that period of early twenties angst. I've never forgotten the music that pulled me through.
10. Everything Changes
Staind has been a constant as well. I loved their first hit "It's Been A While" and their B songs were awesome. This one was new to me when I discovered it on MySpace.
11. Epiphany
One of the best Staind songs EVER.
12. Do What You Have To Do
Sarah Mclachlin is one of my favorite artists. I own most of her CD's and she ROCKS. Best one? "Fumbling With Ecstasy". This one is one of my favorite songs by her. And yeah, I own both the live CDs too.
13 Full Of Grace
This one used to make me cry every time. I'm not sure why. It's her voice, I think. She taps into that angst that lives inside me. I usually just make jokes to cover it. This song brings it to the surface.
