Musical Moment: Inspired Music

Happy last speck of Monday music lovers,

The time of all egg foods has begun! How was my Easter? My sister visited and we ended up visiting old fishing holes, the cemetery where we fixed the wreath on our uncle's grave, then a hike up in the woods. Did I mention I did all this in pj pants? We also had good home cook goodness to eat and of course chocolate, but I wanna talk about ear food today, music. To be more specific music that I feel God sent to me went I needed it.

See I've always had a close relationship to music my family performing it, my name coming from a song, those years I dreamed of being in music. I sometimes think I feel more connected to God when I listen to Christian tunes. So who's to say he doesn't send tunes to inspired us when we need it.

Bring It All Back by S Club-
My friends and I loved this band in high school. They actually gave themselves nicknames after the members names, this tended to happen with each fandom they had, I didn't get one in this case I did with Sliders and Lord of the Rings. One of my favorite songs was the first theme song for their TV show: Bring It All Back. Well time passed and I was probably in college or later and I was having a rough day I think the Mental Health Hydra may have been acting up. Now I hadn't heard this song in a long time and as I remember on this day feeling low and out of nowhere this upbeat song came into my head, like the universe knew it's what I needed. I still love jamming to it, it puts me in a good mood.

One Sweet Day by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men-
This is the sadder of the inspired songs that have come to me in my life. A little over a month after I turned 18 my uncle lost his battle with lung cancer. It was a rough experience, and given I was at the hospital the night he passed it's a time and date that's been ingrained in my head every since. Well a few years back I was listening to I think a TV radio station this song came on, and it spoke to me reminded me of my uncle who I remembered had passed that day and I looked up and it was around the time he passed away. It was a beautiful sad tune the Lord sent my way, and I'll always remember my uncle when I hear it.

One Step At A Time by  Jordin Sparks-
I tend to get a lot of songs stuck in my brain and this tune was no exception. I was out with my Granny when this song was on repeat in my brain, so I think I tried mentally singing the mentioned Bring it All Back to get it out of my head. We go into a grocery store and on the speakers comes One Step At A Time. This is the point I thinking maybe the Lord's trying to get my attention and there's a reason the song's been in my head all that day. I was so moved by this experience I actually wrote a poem called Listen Up that I shared earlier this month.

I hope you guys have a good week, keep the music in your heart, and may God bless you.
