Sometimes, the last thing you want comes in first,
Sometimes, the first thing you want never comes,
And I know, the waiting is all you can do,

Sometimes...

Aqualung "Strange and Beautiful"

Why not believe in something

Something's got to be better than nothing

Just because it's the end of the beginning

Doesn't mean it's the beginning of the end

Aqualung "Extra Ordinary Thing"

It takes a thought to make a word

And it takes some words to make an action

And it takes some work to make it work

It takes some good to make it hurt

It takes some bad for satisfaction

Jason Mraz "Life is Wonderful"

... really the whole song speaks truth....

Life can be so frustrating at times, but then there's those times where you put a cd in and it just works you like crazy. My favorite artists can all work me. There are other people that have amazing talent, but it just doesn't effect me the same. There's a ton of awesome songs that speak to my emotions and get inside of me, and they're awesome, and they show the artist's feelings and struggles. Yet, when truth speaks to emotions, it's even more powerful. It is no longer just empathy that occurs between the listener and the artist, it is now something that can bring confirmation, healing, enlightenment, or even guidance from the artist to the listener. That, I think, is amazing.
