I find it strange how a simple selection of words when set to a collection of notes can have the large impact that they do on someones life. There are songs that people subconciously hear and remember things that have been long forgotten. There are happy songs for good times when you see a friend you haven't seen in years. The ones that remind you of choreography created in the back of a bus on the way to cheer a high school basketball game which are enthusiastically repeated at the wedding reception of the first of you to get married. The ones that got you through the tough times when your heart was broken by that boy and you cried alone in your room wondering why you were not good enough. The ones that pointed out that you can do better and that you have to have the confidence in yourself that you were to good for him. And there are the songs that don't have set memories or places in your history but that for some reason cause you to be calm, confident and happy. The ones that when you don't want to talk to anyone make you listen to yourself... and sometimes its listening to yourself that is the best music of all.

Live today for today and let tomorrow be another adventure to look forward too.
