On Fire

I have grown to love this song almost overnight. And the way I discovered it was kinda funny because I usually don't pay much attention to TV commercials, which is where I first heard it...I was intrigued  So I hopped online and searched the words of the song that I remembered and boom I heard the full thing once and fell in love with it.
I had totally forgotten about Alicia Keys' music and have started listening to it all again, so don't mind me if I go on a binge with her music. But anyway this is a really neat song and its become one of  my favs on my "motivational music" playlist.

ENJOY!

Keep Holding On...

So its been several months since I have posted and I've had a lot going on in my life these past several months. Found some great new songs too, but first I wanted to put this one on here by Avril Lavigne. Its kind of a mood booster song that helps you to, well just keep holding on, you will make it through.

Having someone in your life you can trust to be there for you, by your side...strong, steady, constant.

                                                                   "Keep Holding On"

You're not alone
Together we stand
I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand
When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

So far away
I wish you were here
Before it's too late, this could all disappear
Before the doors close
And it comes to an end
With you by my side I will fight and defend
I'll fight and defend
Yeah, yeah

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Hear me when I say, when I say I believe
Nothing's gonna change, nothing's gonna change destiny
Whatever's meant to be will work out perfectly
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

La da da da
La da da da
La da da da da da da da da

Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

Keep holding on
Keep holding on

There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through

A Thousand Years

1- Love this song!
2- I am blessed to have my love for a thousand years and then some, because in our religion we believe we will be together for time and all eternity!

That's all for now, not my usual explanatory posting, but I feel as though this song already explains everything I would about it anyway. Enjoy!

                                               "A Thousand Years"

Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Music To My Ears

So True! Just think of all the sounds you here everyday living in a city and then think to yourself of what it would be like to sit in a mountain grove surrounded by evergreen trees, quaking aspens, deer, birds, wild flowers, and a babbling mountain stream nearby. Now that to me is like music to my ears!!

Since I am not fortunate enough to live close to any mountains (they are 12 hours away) instead I am near the downtown area of the city that I live in and I have to find other forms of music around me. For example, my husband & I try to escape at least once a month to a quite park outside city limits to enjoy the quite of nature. We try to do it more often that than, but sometimes our busy schedules don't allow for it or we just want to relax at home. But still, even in a busy city you can find music in the nature around you. Like the crickets on a cool summers evening, a thunderstorm in spring, the quite beauty of snowfall, and the dancing colorful leaves in the fall.

Tell me what other ways do we find music in the earth around us?
