Music, the soundtrack to our lives

One of my classmate’s blog discusses the songs she enjoys, and how they can lift your spirits or motivate you to achieve your goals.

I’d like to share a song that I have enjoyed — “Better Days” by Dianne Reeves.  The music and message are beautiful:

Another song that has a special place in my heart is “Ready For The Storm”, by the late, great Rich Mullins.  I was fortunate enough to see him perform three times, the last concert was just a month before his untimely death in 1997.  His words and music were both poetic and powerful.  However, this was one of the few songs he performed that was actually written by someone else.  (The original was by Dougie MacLean, a famous Scottish musician.)
