Friday's Inspiration

This week we are going way back, 13 years to be exact. I was in 8th grade and I had just purchased my first "angry girl/teenager" album. Most of the songs where about heart break and how everyone else was messed up. But one song stuck with me throughout the years, and even though I've listened to it over, and over, and over again. I still love it.

Something about the way her voice is so smooth and mellow, and how lyrics speak of not quite finding your place, it makes me want to cry every time.

For you listening pleasure - Natalie Imbruglia's Left of the Middle.

By the way, I have no idea what this show is! This was just the video with the best sound quality, so close your eyes and be cradled by the music.



I also wanted to let you guys know that I am totally up for suggestions of new music or old favorites that I can use in this spot. So, let me know what is inspiring you this week!

That song significantly lowered my blood pressure I bet. Very soothing voice...and now I can't get it out of my head. Curse you Jennie and your great taste in music >:(!

I have always loved "What a Wonderful World," but necessarily Louis Armstrong's voice. There is a really pretty version sung by Chris Daughtry from American Idol and then also a neat version by a Hawaiian big guy, Israel something, both on YouTube.

This always make me think of my kids and the beauty that is awaiting them and how blessed I am to have them in my life.

Way back 13 years to 8th grade??!! LOL....I'd have to go back to 1984 for my 8th grade memories. That would include Michael Jackson's Thiller, Van Halen's Jump, Def Leppard's Pyromania....Oh lord, shoot me now....

Aaaah! I didn't listen to this song too much, but Natalie Imbruglia is a rare artist who's stuck with me through the years! Hearing this song recalls so many hours driving with my best friend from college . . .

Most of what I'm listening to isn't very inspiring. My friend just linked a song from Halo (which I'd love to have on my iPods for running), but most of what I'm listening to is straight off the pop stations: E.T., F**king Perfect, F**k You. (The expletives do not reflect my current state of being!)
