Funny how some songs just work for one's life. The name of this blog was inspired by, well, an inspirational song! The Wonder of it all - Monday Morning

And so, whilst thing are happening in my life and changes are occuring, I have adopted themed songs (ala Alley McBeal style) to get me going. I should warn you, should one of these awesome tracks be heard, it wont be for long, as I will most definately be drowning it out with my singing!


Dixie Chicks - The Long Way Around

"...I've been a long time gone now
Maybe someday, someday I'm gonna settle down
But I've always found my way somehow
By taking the long way Taking the long way around...

good thoughts

"I met the queen of whatever
Drank with the Irish and smoked with the hippies
Moved with the shakers
Wouldn't kiss all the asses that they told me to
No I, I could never follow"

what the world can offer me

"It's been two long years now
Since the top of the world came crashing down
And I'm getting' it back on the road now
But I'm taking the long way
Well, I fought with a stranger and I met myself
I opened my mouth and I heard myself
It can get pretty lonely when you show yourself
Guess I could have made it easier on myself"

So, I'm going to take the long way around.



And then there is the firm favourite, Nelly Furtado. Reinvention obvious yet the soul is still the same.

Nelly Furtado - All Good things Come to an End (ft Chris Martin)

"Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is daily
We are what we don't see
Missed everything day dreaming

Flames to dust Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end?"

So true. A stark reminder. Questions of life, love and everything else are abound. I am a dreamer, but if I hang on to random ponderings of my over-active mind, then nothing will ever happen. I just have to make things happen for myself.
