I have a ton of songs that I love, and my favorites tend to be ones that remind me of certain times in my life, whether it be a sad time or a happy time. I'll always adore "Crush With Eyeliner" by REM because the guy I had a crush on one summer danced with me to it. Alanis Morissette's "Perfect" is my entire high school existence. "Here Comes A Regular" by the Replacements was on heavy rotation after a particularly nasty breakup. And don't get me started on virtually every song by Sarah McLachlan...such memories...
I originally wrote out another song to put here, then I changed my mind and decided to post this one instead. I found this song last summer and fell in love with it. It's somewhere between happy and sad, and the music is beautiful. It makes me smile to listen and think about the message. This may not be my favorite song of all time, but it's in solid contention...You should check it out!
The Heart of Life by John Mayer:
I hate to see you cry
Laying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
But then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good
I know it's good
