The Sound of Music

I love music! And I would be hard pressed to pick just one genre as my favorite. Living in the Nashville area makes others who do not live in the area assume you love country music. I do listen to some country music and enjoy some country artists. Though honestly, the country I like is more of the pop/country crossover and many true country music fans don't think that's real country!
I listen to a lot of what my girls like....Avril Lavigne, Hillary Duff, Pink, Gwen Stefani...you know that type of music. I do enjoy most of it though. But after hearing the same song for what feels like 100 times in one day on the radio, it makes it less likable. My daughters and I counted the number of times we heard "Big Girls Don't Cry" by Fergie one day a couple of weeks ago. We were out running errands, in and out of the car for a few hours and heard that song 5 times!!! And who knows how many times it was played while we were out of the car. Now I like the song but that was a bit much. But now everytime we hear the song we all laugh and remind the others how many times we heard it that day.
For me, the words on a song are like a story. And I love to read and love to write and the words are what really appeal to me. But it must have a catchy beat also. So the perfect song has a great story and an awesome beat.
Does anyone else ever listen to the words on a song and think it was written just for them? Or that the writer must have peeked in a day in your life?
The power of music...a beautiful thing.
