Music Heaven

I think I didn't die and went straight to music Heaven! Okay, there's no music Heaven that I know of, but my dear friend, GiddyupMikey, jokes that music is the one thing that the ego got right! Wait a minute, he may not be joking!

I got a new ipod a couple of weeks ago, and just tonight, my teenage son put some of my favorite songs on it. And even as I write this, I'm totally rocking out. Music can be so transcendent! I don't think I've ever met a person who doesn't love music. I can't actually dance, sing, or play a musical instrument, but that hasn't stopped me from listening!

Seeing as it is Saturday night, and Jesus does use the word "song" 58 times in A Course in Miracles, I thought I'd share my new little ipod playlist. I even got to choose the order!

California Gurls by, Katy Perry(feat. Snoop Dogg)
Party for Two by, Shania Twain & Billy Currington
The Show by, Lenka
Hot in Herre by, Nelly
You Sexy Thing by, Hot Chocolate
Mercy by, Duffy
Crazy by, Gnarls Barkley
Collide by, Howie Day
Why Can't I? by, Liz Phair
You Are the Woman by, Firefall
No One by, Alicia Keys
One Thing by, Finger Eleven
Hurt by, Christina Aguilera

There's one song that I wanted right now, darn it, but I couldn't seem to get it. It's my little brother Johnny's song. It's called, " I Don't Wanna Be" by a guy named Gavin Degraw! It rocks, and I swear it was written just for him. It's 11:59PM, at least on my clock, so in one minute, he would have turned 30 years old. Ooh, it's now! Happy Birthday, John! I love you!

  1. LOL, yes, rock n roll is the one thing the ego got right. And other types of music too, as long as its good!

    Check out the lyrics to The Unforgiven III by Metallica:

    How could he know this new dawn's light
    Would change his life forever?
    Set sail to sea but pulled off course
    By the light of golden treasure

    Was he the one causing pain
    With his careless dreaming?
    Been afraid
    Always afraid
    Of the things he's feeling
    He could just be gone

    He would just sail on
    He would just sail on

    How can I be lost?
    If I've got nowhere to go?
    Searched the seas of gold
    How come it's got so cold?
    How can I be lost
    In remembrance I relive
    How can I blame you
    When it's me I can't forgive?

    These days drift on inside a fog
    It's thick and suffocating
    This seeking life outside its hell
    Inside intoxicating
    He's run aground
    Like his life
    Water's much too shallow
    Slipping fast
    Down with the ship
    Fading in the shadows now
    A castaway

    Blame
    All gone
    Away

    Blame gone away

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?
    Search for seas of gold
    How come it's got so cold?
    How can I be lost
    In remembrance I relive
    And how can I blame you
    When it's me I can't forgive?

    Forgive me
    Forgive me not
    Forgive me
    Forgive me not
    Forgive me
    Forgive me not
    Forgive me
    Forgive me, why can't I forgive me?

    Set sail to sea but pulled off course
    By the light of golden treasure
    How could he know this new dawn's light
    Would change his life forever

    How can I be lost
    If I've got nowhere to go?
    Search for seas of gold
    How come it's got so cold?
    How can I be lost
    In remembrance I relive
    So how can I blame you
    When it's me I can't forgive?
