Music... who doesn't love it? No matter what is going on in your life, there is a song you can relate to; a song that hits you at your core. You may hear one particular song a million and one times, and then that million and two time, it takes on a whole new significance. That's one of the many things I love about music. Probably my favorite thing about music is the fact that certain songs take you back to a specific place in time. When you hear that song, you are lifted to a different place. It's a great feeling, unless of course you associate that song with a bad experience. Anyway, I had the ole iPod on shuffle (like always), and I was listening to all of these old songs and being transported throughout the timeline of my life. I decided to share some of these little nuggets of joy with you... maybe you were there... or maybe they take you somewhere else...
