Music that speaks to me...

I've still been having a terrible time. I was better able to hide it at work today, but I still feel the same way I did last night. I'm breaking down in more ways than one. I'm terribly good at holding grudges - I always have been - but my resolve on this particular one is crumbling...I'm angry, but that is dissipating and real anguish and... ( Read more... )

Dido always has the good lyrics that resonate.

Honestly OK is my Dido song of choice. Makes me cry just to look at it, though.

Love.

Remember that this whole process is likely going to take some time, and that's ok.

More love.

This song was my personal mantra freshman year of college...and a friend of mine and I bonded over it because it also helped her out in a really terrible time. This song has amazing healing powers...I suggest repeat button.

btw. I wish I could show you...my friend is a ballerina and choreographed a BEAUTIFUL piece...so out of lots of pain and lots of tears good and beautiful things can and do come...this song means so much to me...I hope it really does help.

That's incredible! I mean, I certainly knew I couldn't have been the only one touched by this song, but it's really cool to know that it has touched and helped close friends. It's funny, cause I play a sort-of game with myself and my iPod that I like to call "shuffle." The rules of this game are to put all my songs on shuffle and skip only those songs I really don't want to listen to. The goal is to see how high a number I can get. This song was about number 984 (out of 3300+). My iPod has psychic and/or empathetic powers, I swear. I had never heard this song before today, and it came on at just the right time. I love it because it's comforting without being pushy about it. It's like "take your time, but I believe and know that eventually things will truly be ok again." It also softly breaks the news of reality (e.g. "...she's not coming back"). I know that this song (along with a lot of other things) will really help me get through this. I'm so glad to know that it's helped other people, too ( ... )

I am gonna see if she has a video of it...but yeah Music is amazing. I really hope this song...and others help get you on that road where you can at least SEE that things are gonna smooth out.

Ya know, I thought about making you a CD, cuz I realllly believe in the healing power of music. I think I might still, even if I don't have it for you this weekend (cuz my CDs are back in Murfreesboro and I am now in Bristol). At the very least I could make you a playlist. We'll talk about it tomorrow. But yah...music helps get me through my darkest times.
