Music

Am I the only one who likes to listens to songs that reflect my current mood or situation? Somehow it makes me feel better to have my thoughts and feelings expressed in music, hence my posts on "I Would Die for That" and "From God's Arms". Anyway, I wouldn't say I'm a real country music fan, but I do like the Dixie Chicks from time to time.

On one of their CD's, they wrote a song about struggling with infertility since at least 2 of the 3 band members have dealt with it. The song is called "So Hard", and you can listen to it HERE.

I especially like the lyrics:

Back when we started,
We didn't know how hard it was.
Living on nothing,
But what the wind would bring to us.
Now we've got something
I can imagine fighting for.
So why is fighting all that we're good at anymore?

And sometimes I don't have the energy
To prove everybody wrong.
And I try my best to be strong.
But you know it's so hard.
It's so hard.

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy.
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast.
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy.
It's so hard.

It felt like a given,
Something a woman's born to do.
A natural ambition,
To see a reflection of me and you.

And I'd feel so guilty,
If that was a gift I couldn't give.
And could you be happy,
If life wasn't how we pictured it?

And sometimes I just want to wait it out,
To prove everybody wrong.
And I need your help to move on,
Cause you know it's so hard.
It's so hard.

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy.
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast.
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy.
So hard.

I can live for the moment,
When all these clouds open up for me to see,
And show me a vision,
Of you and me swimming peacefully.

Last night you told me
That you can't remember
How to feel free.

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy.
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast.
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy, easy.

It's so hard.

I love how healing music can be. Sometimes no matter what you say the only thing that can truly express you deepest feelings is the lyrics and music of a song. My husband & I still cry everytime we listen to the song, "Little Wonders" by Rob Thomas. It is from the Disney movie, "Meet the Robinsons" which is about adoption. Thanks for sharing your thoughts through music!
