There’s nothing better than finding something inspiring that really speaks to my heart and soul. It may be a song, poem or quote, but when I find something where the words just make sense to everything going on around me in my life, I latch on and never let go. It truly becomes a part of me marking a special moment in my life.
When I discover a song that inspires and touches me, I end up playing it on repeat for days on end. I’ve done this ever since I was a kid. I become obsessed with its melody and lyrical meaning. Sure, I may eventually tire of listening to it on repeat, but once etched in my life as something that holds meaning, it will never lose its power and significance, and it will always have the ability to take me back to that moment in my life.
This past Monday morning, while getting ready for another day and week of work, I was listening to my “Norah Jones” Pandora station. A song came on that I’ve heard many times before and wasn’t all that new. It was a song I’ve always really liked, but somehow, now it really meant something to me until that very moment. It was that moment when I felt like it somehow changed me. Realizing the it aligned to perfectly with everything going on around me, my eyes started fill up with tears of joy and it gave me the chills. In fact, as I listen to it now while I sit here writing about it, it gives me the ever so powerful music goosebumps. I decided I wanted to share the song and lyrics with my followers and friends. It may mean nothing to you, you may not like the song, but right now, it means everything to me.
Happy listening and reading bloggers, readers and lovahs 🙂

“A Thousand Years”, Christina Perri
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
I have died everyday
waiting for you
Darlin’ 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
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ 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
I have died everyday
Waiting for you
Darlin’ 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
