Music

Music is a very powerful thing.  It elicits emotions that spoken words could not.  I hear bits and pieces of songs and think, "that's me." There are songs can make me "car dance" (that's me dancing while I'm driving, I'm sure I give others a laugh).  There are songs that make me cry.  There are songs that make me think, which can be a good or bad thing.  There are songs that make me happy.  There are songs I just don't understand.

Here are some lines from one that makes me sad, mad, and makes me think a lot.  These are words from "My Immortal" by Evanescence.  Those who know me well will understand why these phrases speak to me.  Those who know the song and know my story will understand why the music is so powerful with these word.

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears

------------------------------------------------------
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me
--------------------------------------------------------
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
