Q: Why do songs do that to me?

(Playing an Original Song at my Dad's Wedding)

A: Well I once told someone that "music was the key to my soul".... That might have been an exaggeration. I know songs have deep meaning and everything but I would like my soul to be a little more secure and less vulnerable to notes and rhymes and stuff.


This weekend, I heard a song. It was a song from when I was younger that I used to sing a lot in church and let me tell ya.... when I tried to sing it, I could barely get the words out because I was so choked up about it. I have no idea what made that happen. There were not words in the song that I remember pertaining to my life when I was younger or anything, it was just hearing the tune.

Its like songs take me back to a place. Sometimes its happier, sometimes its more sad. But my memory takes a jog back to the time when I used to hear that song a lot. I don't have a great memory, but
I have to say that music is my best memory. Sometimes I can't remember what it was like to be in middle school or high school even, but songs take me back. (Sorry I stole that line, Kenny Chesney).

A: I'd say that God put these brain cells in me that dance around when they hear music. I think I may not understand it until I get to the pearly gates... but I believe my brain cells will be dancing the whole way there.
