10 Songs That Mean Something

Okay, so it's about time for another list. Since music has been on my mind recently, here are 10 songs that mean something to me (in no particular order).

~ "Plain" by Zoegirl: A good reminder about beauty and self image from my first favorite band ever.


~ "Whenever You Remember" by Carrie Underwood: Here's to my childhood memories and the friends of my past. It was fun while it lasted!


~ "Looking for the Holes" by Ani DiFranco: The perfect inspiration to get off the couch and do something from a poet I admire.


~ "You Found Me" by The Fray: An overplayed plea for help that still puts a smile on my face every time I hear it.


~ "Think of You" by A Fine Frenzy: The song for those in my thoughts, miles away.


~ "A Movie Script Ending" by Death Cab for Cutie: Great road trip song, enough said.


~ "Season" by Jenny and Tyler: Sung by two truly genuine artists who don't get the credit they deserve.


~ "Instead of a Show" by Jon Foreman: I love how Foreman's lyrics come right from Scripture. And this song sums up what I feel about the church most of the time these days.


~ "For My Love" by Bethany Dillon: One of the most honest love songs I've ever heard. Plus, I had to have Bethany on this list for old time's sake.


~ "Thinking Over" by Dana Glover: I've never been in love, but when I am I imagine my thought process will go something like this. It's how I already make all of my other decisions.


So, there you have it. Now I'd like to hear your list.


*Disclaimer: Music is such a huge and influential part of life, we don't always even realize what a major role it plays. Because this is so true in my own life, I had trouble picking only ten songs and there are many more that could be added to this list.*

To the Ones Left Behind



Breathing in
Shapes of you
To fill my empty soul
I love, I long
To cover up
This now familiar hole
