the power of music

There's something really powerful about music.

Music has a way of transporting us to a different time, a different place. It let's us rock out and dance when we're happy and it let's us simply let go when we're sad or heartbroken. Music is powerful because it tugs at our heartstrings and moves us.

Today I was watching VH1's Top 100 90's songs and it brought me back to my grade school days. I can still remember the very first CD I bought, "Crazy Sexy Cool" by TLC. I bought it for and listened to only one track "Waterfall." I'm not ashamed to admit that I still like this song, it's just good.




Another great song of the nineties and my childhood was, "Changes" by 2Pac. 2Pac may be gone but this song will never die. This was one of the very first songs that I tried to memorize all the lyrics to, the second being "My Heart will Go On" by Celine Dion, another timeless classic. Which brings us to one of my all-time favorites, "All My Life" by K-Ci and Jojo.

Afterthought: Does anyone else remember this song? "Sex and Candy" by Marcy Playground. It was my favorite song in 5th grade. Don't ask me why.
