29 ~ Music Memories

Five songs that bring back specific memories:

Time to Say Goodbye, Andrea Bocelli & Sarah Brightman
Viva Las Vegas and Whitney's Star Spangled Banner also remind me of the fountains, but this song brings all the drama and power and is my favorite Bellagio fountain song!!  I can picture exactly how the water moves in certain parts of the song. lol  Sometimes I think about watching them from the Mon Ami Gabi patio whilst eating brunch. But mostly, I think of watching them all lit up at night, and it makes me excited to go again sometime! =)

Someday at Christmas, Stevie Wonder & Andra Day
This takes me right back to last year's Christmas parties at Mom and Dad's. I wanted to be there badly enough to drive home on the snowy/icy roads after returning from the Big Cedar trip with Tiffany and Jenna, and I'm so glad I did! Mom went all out decorating and she had her phone Christmas music playing all through dinner (the same 10 or 11 songs on repeat, and this was my absolute favorite).  The lyrics speak to my soul about the value of life and the eternal hope we have as Christians... and it pulls up memories of family, fun friends, good food, Christmas cheer, and feeling all the warmth and gratitude! ❤

Me Too, Meghan Trainor
Lol this one will make me think of dancing to the Fitness Marshall videos with Chet Lee on New Years Eve 2016.  It's a fantastic workout song choice for me - so sassy and fun and upbeat! =)

Great I Am, Jared Anderson
This takes me back to the Captivating Retreat in Colorado, 2014. There was a worship night where this song was just really powerful for me, and when I hear it, I always remember that. (I didn't really know this song before that trip.) That was the night where they let us come down a few at a time and place our candles on the stage in the shape of a cross... and they ended with some a cappella songs while the room was dark aside from our candles. So good. ❤

Colder Weather, Zac Brown Band
I love ZBB and especially love this song!  It was my most-played song on iTunes for several years. Now, it will always bring back memories of this 2016 Big Cedar trip for me... we listened to it on our drive there, then had a long conversation about the meaning of the lyrics, then listened a few more times! lol
