BLOG EVERY DAY IN AUGUST!: If my heartstrings were a playlist...

First of all! THANK YOU GUYS SO MUCH FOR FOLLOWING ME!! HEARRRT^2

Second! I am doing "Blog Every Day in August"! I have never done anything "every-day-in" before, so this should be interesting. But! There have been a lot of blog subjects on my mind that I have not addressed, so this should be a good opportunity to get those out there!

Today: MUSIC!!

I was thinking about compiling a list of songs that have bookmarked significant times in my life. What I mean is...You know how there are those songs that you listen to and your heart just goes uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh--or you know...something like that? Those songs that were there for you when you knew that nothing would ever be the same? Yeah. Those ones. Well. I was trying to make a list of songs that still take me, vividly, right back to that moment. Songs that make me remember a scene, an emotion, a smell, everything about some particular moment in my life; songs that embody me, make me feel like I am...home. HOWEVER, when I started looking through my "most played list" I kept adding so much music to the list... more than probably deserved to be on it. So I have decided to make it a running list that I only add stuff to when I am SURE it belongs on it. So here is a start...

Important Songs in the Life of Sara J Perkins:

"Fire and Rain" by James Taylor

"New Slang" by The Shins

"Lean On Me" by Bill Withers

And that is all I am doing for right now. Because I am tempted to put so many on here. Too many. But this is a pretty good start. Every time I hear "Fire and Rain" or "Lean On Me" I get so overcome with emotion I can hardly function. I do not feel quite as strongly when I hear "New Slang" but I could not possibly bring myself to take it off this list...and I think that means it deserves to stay....

What are some of your life's songs?!

...I talked about myself in this more than I would prefer... :(
