Singing my Life

Have you ever heard a song and then it seemed like it just fit a situation at the time? And then years later you hear it again and then it sends you right back to that same point in time and you remember everything you where thinking/doing/feeling?

For example, I can't ever hear "Rock Lobster" by the B52s with out thinking of a stake dance. Bob Marley always reminds me of my HS friend Cameron and driving around in her car. "Somebody" by Depeche Mode reminds me of the first time I danced with Mike at a Wilkinson Center dance. Mike told me he had never heard it before and I remember thinking, Who Are You? Where Do You Come From? (Still working on aspects of those questions.)

Anyway, you get the idea. Well here is the song I've got stuck in my head lately. It reminds of life right now and the unfortunate (hopefully just a few) weeks that Mike will be in CA and I will be here and on the road with the boys. But the happy ending is eventually we will all be back together near the deep blue ocean . . .

And really I don't count it as Lucky, but more as Blessings, but whatever. I don't listen to Christian rock, so there you go.

"Lucky"
by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat
(If you want to hear it you can click the play button on my side bar music box, it's #1)
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Ooohh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
Ooooh ooooh oooh oooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
What's your favorite song right now?

That's a great song!! Can't decide on a current fav though. Seems I only listen to primary songs and Beauty and the Beast soundtrack, per Sophie's request.
