My First-Ever Favorite Song ... No Small Coincidence!

Wow! I've never really realized how much my very first favorite song really reflects me.



I forget how old I was, but I was obsessed with this song. It was the time in my life when my Dad was just building his own business, and I was absorbed in that as much as I could at such a young age. He was my role model, so since this song related to him, I just had to love it!

Now, more than a decade later... My first favorite song comes back to me when I'm in the process of starting up my own business.

All I have to say... "If you ever get annoyed, look at me, I'm self-employed..."

What an impact!

Songs That Bring Back Memories


I always find it amazing that certain songs can bring back memories complete with the feelings, the emotions, the look and the smell even of a certain part of your life.

I always have a favorite song and it changes weekly. It's as though when I listen to that song years later, the memories from that time (week, usually) of my life is like completely brought back to me. It's absolutely AMAZING.

I could be sitting here on my computer, reliving a time of great sadness, or one of the best times of my life just because of the song - and remembering things I wouldn't have remembered without the help of the song. It's really special.

This song... Was my all time favorite song when I was about... 4-6? It was from the movie Land Before Time; also my all-time favorite movie. I was obsessed with the series, watching them over and over again. I used to replay this song in my head when I was on the bus to Kingergarden, I hated the school, I hated the bus, but this song kept me remembering something I loved.

I listened to this song for the first time in 10 years... and the absolute emotions... The feelings, the memories... It was PROFOUND!

I could remember sheer happiness. I could remember my absolute love for the characters. I remembered innocence. I remember waking up in the morning without a plan in mind. I remember sitting watching these movies with my little sister, or brother, or even alone.

This song brought me back to that time of happiness, innocence... It was PERFECT. It was like reliving my childhood. I can confidently say that this song is the summary of my childhood.

Now... Listen to the lyrics, and their meanings... Secretly, I think it helped shaped me.

What a beautiful song!

"Half of my heart's got the right mind to tell you that half of my heart won't do" "but I can't stop loving you"

"Half of my heart has got a real good imagination"

Pppsssstttt... I love thisss song, despite how sad it is :)

"I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else. Made a plan, stay the girl who can only love herself. Lonely was the song I sang until the day you came, showing me another way"

"Do you dream that the world will know your name?"

Official pump-up song... I loveee this song...

"Do you care... about all the little things, or anything at all?"

I wanna live... Just to see the day... When we all get along...


"Should've been me & you... Couldda been you & me... All I've got are these photographs"


"Now baby it's killin me, I'm sayin it's killin me, the fact that you went around..."
"I know you're a better man when I was your girl. This land is a better land when you're in my world.
Today would be better babe if it were like yesterday... so happy and lovely"
