The Power of Music

It's amazing how listening to the right song at the right time can completely alter your mood and train of thought. I have come to the realization that I am currently listening to an eclectic mix of music genres. There are a few songs on constant repeat on my iPod, and they are:

- Natasha Bedingfield's "Strip Me"- which had originally caught my eye, or rather my ear on the movie trailer from the new Rachel McAdams/Harrison Ford movie "Morning Glory."

I'm only one voice in a million

But you ain't taking that from me

I don't need a microphone
To say what I been thinking
My heart is like a loudspeaker
Thats always on eleven

- Fefe Dobson's "Stuttering"

- The Scene Aesthetic's "Love Story"- punk cover of the Taylor Swift song

- The Temper Trap's "Fader"

I'm in transit
floating stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance
To a better night sleep at home

If you were to see me driving around town, it would be very likely that I would be belting (or trying) any of these songs. The right song can turn a day around, comfort you, give your thoughts room to breathe, pump you up, and much much more.

Regardless, it's better than having "Thriller" stuck in my head on repeat. :)
