Music to my Soul

There are so many songs that inspire me. I am very versatile when it comes to music so I am inspired by anything from Country to Christian to Broadway; I even enjoy listening to Classical. When Ms. Frailly asked the class today about what song inspires us, I was unable to answer simply because I could not pinpoint one particular song, I have so many. There are a lot of songs by Sugarland and Sara Evans that really inspire me. There are Christian songs by Third day and MercyMe that either challenge or comfort me. Even in the world of Jazz, Norah Jones and Michael Buble’ are a guarantee escape for me. There is a song by Sara Evans called “Born to Fly” that pretty much takes who I am and puts a melody to it. Particularly in the second verse the lyrics say “My Daddy is grounded like the Oak Tree, My Momma is as steady as the sun, you know I love my folks but I keep staring down the road, just lookin’ for my one chance to run”. Every time I hear that song I just think of how my Daddy is so old-fashioned and stern and yet my mom is still kinda strict but she is so even-tempered and wise, to me she really is as ‘steady as the sun’. That is just one of the many songs that make me happy or speak to me like no other.
