for the sad times in my life – songs by Emmylou Harris. She strikes the right balance between melancholy and a pragmatic view of the situation. Lately these songs have gotten a lot of play:
Two More Bottles of Wine;
Calling My Children Home;
Can You Hear Me Now;
One of These Days;
The Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn; and
Sweet Old World
What would we do without music? It’s like having a good friend who understands what you are going through and offers solace without judgement or advice.
A year ago I developed a neurological condition that wiped out my internal sound track. I never realized until then that there was ALWAYS music playing in my mind.
Music is one of the most comforting, inspiring and calming parts of our lives. I am glad you find music to relate to – sometimes someone elses’s expression of sorrow makes ours seem lighter, or at least less lonely.
And I am grateful to say that I have recovered the soundtrack, although I’m not sure where all the hip-hop came from all of a sudden LOL.
Praying for you.
