Blogging Again...

Well it certainly has been a long time since I last blogged...lots have changed, got a job, moved to Montgomery and experiencing life as a young twentysomething on my own. It's definitely been a big change, but a good change. I decided to start my blog again (ha how many times have I said that) but this time I'm going to blog about something I truly love and care about: music.

Music has the power to get into your deepest, darkest emotions. It can bring people togehter. It can pump you up for a night out, or give you solace when going through a difficult time. Whatever the occasion, there's a song out there somewhere for it. My favorite thing is finding a song and being mesmerized by the music, it's a feeling I can't explain, but when I have that, I know I've found a song I will remember for the rest of my life.

So I've decided to blog about a song every week. Whatever my favorite song is in that moment, new, or old, and explain why that song means what it does to me.

So this week's song is....drumroll please...
"Back to Decebmer" by Taylor Swift.
I picked this song because like every other Taylor song, it tells a story. The story about someone regretting letting someone go. She's an amazing songwriter, you can feel the emotion in the song, and the music behind it is awesome as well. I can listen to this song ten times in a row and not get tired of it. She has a lot of naysayers out there, but I think her fans ("Speak Now" sold over a million copies in its first week of release I do believe, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) FAR outnumber them.

A song you may not have heard of...until now:
"Like the Rose" by B*Witched.
"Who is B*Witched?" you may ask...well if you were a teeny bopper around 1999, you probably remember them as the four Irish girls that had the hit song "C'est La Vie" and was on heavy rotation on the Disney Channel. I was a fan, and bought their CD (their first one) and "Like the Rose" is probably my favorite song on it. It's got a pretty melody, great music, and tells a story. Another song you can feel the emotion on and I love the piano on it. Look it up on youtube, it's a great song that I still listen to today.

These are two of the songs that are on heavy play on my iPod right now, stay tuned each week for more songs! Also going to start yoga again soon, so my trials and tribulations with that will also be a topic of the blog :)
