Lately I have felt compelled to write, but I haven't actually sat down to do it. I will use this blog mainly as an online journal of my thoughts of the past, present and future.
I have been listening to A LOT of Pink Floyd lately...and MAN do I wish I had their lyrical/music writing abilities. They evoke probably every emotion I have in me, good and bad. If you know me, you know that I love music and have a REALLY hard time choosing which band is my favorite...but I have officially declared Pink Floyd as my ALL TIME favorite band. They are timeless in my eyes...I always go back to them. I may leave them for a bit to listen to another band, but in the end, they are my drink of choice, if you will.
With music comes memories for me. To give a few examples---
Wish you were here - Pink Floyd - Some of the phrases in this song my brother Josh used to sit with me and analyze. So naturally--not just because of the name of the song and the lyrics used-but also because of this memory, I think of my brother Josh.
If you're not the one - Daniel Beddingfield - Will ALWAYS remind me of the first time I told Patric I loved him...because I was too scared to actually say the words, I played this song for him, and made him pay particular attention to the lyrical phrase, "‘Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today ‘Cause I love you, whether it’s wrong or right And though I can’t be with you tonight And know my heart is by your side"
Du får göra som du vill - Patrik Isaksson - Patric and I listened to this song a lot while we were dating...or more, I found this mixed cd of Swedish music from Patric's cd collection and had to have the music.
There are many more---but that is enough for now.
My biggest dream when I was a little girl was to get into music in some way, shape or form. I was part of a band in middle school--not that we were any good, and my family likes to make fun of me for it--but sometimes I wish I was able to drop the fears that I have and do that again...not caring what anyone thinks. I played the drums, back then, but if I had my way I would do lead vocals. I would LOVE to be able to play the guitar or piano(which I do play, but not very well) but that takes time that, unfortunately, I do not have much of right now as a young mom.
Anyways---I could just go on and on about everything, but for now, this is a good start to my online journal.
