Music Notes

Even though I have fallen off the X Factor band wagon, I still tune in every other week to see what is going on and to get a taste of what snide remarks Simon Cowell has come up with. Last night I decided not to watch X Factor but tuned in to the Country Music Awards. Even though I never really used to listen to Country Music, after meeting my Husband, he slowly started influencing me and I've started taking more interest in it. That's not to say that I know all of the lyrics to the Country legends like George Strait or Kenny Rogers but I really enjoy the upbeat music of some of the newer country groups out there. I didn't realize how much a song can really impact your mood! After hearing Lady Antebellum's "Compass" performed live and watching Florida/Georgia Line rocking out on the stage, I realized how uplifting music can be.
Music can lighten up any mood and help jump start an otherwise slow morning. I couldn't help but replay the Compass song on repeat a few times last night and this morning. I may have also danced around a little bit, but we'll skip over that part!
I know how much Colby enjoys music too. Whether I'm humming a tune or playing a song that makes me jump around, she gets right in to it with me. Her tail starts wagging and she gets really excited.

I'm sure that anyone can relate to associating a certain group or song to a happy memory. It's a great feeling! When American Idol was in its prime, it was a weekly tradition for my Dad and I to watch the show together and pick out our favorites as the competition heated up. He would educate me on the songs I wasn't familiar with and I could keep him up to date with the more "current" music (for my Dad's sake I won't mention any eras)

Whenever the Holidays roll around, I know my Mom and I never hesitate to break out the N*SYNC Christmas CD. I think it is safe to say that we know pretty much all of the words to each one of the songs on there. Another prime example of why music is so great! Are there any songs out there that you could listen to over and over? I'm sure I can think of a few!
Happy Friday Eve folks!
