Songs

There is something about music that is so powerful. I don't know what it is. When I listen to a song I actually listen to the lyrics. I want to know what the song means. What inspired it? Sometimes I love a song because it has a good beat or a catchy chorus, but a lot of my favorite songs are my favorites because they say something that makes me think. Here are some songs that I'm digging right now.

1. Lost (remix) by Coldplay featuring Jay Z. Great song! The song says, "You might be a big fish In a little pond Doesn’t mean you’ve won‘ Cause a long may come A bigger one." I think it's about how we shouldn't compare to others. Someone is always better. That doesn't mean that we don't have value.
2. You Found Me by The Fray. This song was written during a difficult time in the lead singers life. It's a passionate song about hurt, loss, and questioning God's timing. In the song he cries out to God (who is smoking a cigarette) and asks why did you have to wait? Sometimes it feels like God doesn't answer our prayers. It's in those moments where we find God.
3. Broken by Lifehouse - Great lyrics. This line resonates with me... "I'm falling apart I'm barely breathing With a broken heart That's still beating In the pain (In the pain) There is healing In your name (In your name) I find meaning."
4. Live Your Life by TI - this line is probably inappropriate but I think it's pretty profound..."Your values is a disarrayed, prioritized are horribly. Unhappy with the riches cause you piss poor morally." It makes me think about how you can gain a whole world and yet lose your soul.
