I love music. You probably do, too. I would listen to a lot more of it, but it just doesn’t seem to fit into my routine right now. During the day, I don’t want things like music or radio or TV to distract the kids while we do school. I don’t use my iPod much because the headphones would make it really hard for me to hear them if they had a question about something. It also makes me feel really disconnected from my family. In the evening, my husband is home and that’s our family time. Plus, he generally hates the music I like, with just a few exceptions, lol. So I don’t torture him with the stuff I like to listen to.
One of the few we agree on, though, is Matchbox Twenty. Actually, it was my husband who turned me on to them when we first met. I remember him singing their song, “Real World” to me in the car, wooing me with the line, “Please don’t change, please don’t break! The only thing that seems to work at all is you! Please don’t change at all for me.” Resistance was futile. 😀
So many of their songs have struck a definite chord with me over the years. Somehow, Rob Thomas seems to write lyrics that are just a punch in the gut. They nail me right were I live sometimes.
I thought I’d share a couple that I’ve recently found and fallen in love with. They remind me of me and my beloved.
I hope you enjoy!
