SURPRISE! Music! (Day 33: 4/2/10)

What's the good news!

Surprise! In case you haven't noticed yet, I have added a playlist to the sidebar of the blog for your enjoyment. Now, Delia, what's the big deal? Anyone can get a playlist, so what?

Well there is a point to this! I decided to post about it because it has been something on my mind for a while.

It all started about 10-15 days ago when I was jamming in the car like usual. A song came on and I did not hesitate to sing along because that's just what I do. But the more and more I paid attention to the lyrics, I kept thinking, "hmm, these lyrics aren't exactly positive..." and me being the person I am, I actually pick up the feeling of the song as I sing along (even if it's about anger or heartache).

That's not very productive to what I'm doing here. I mean, how on earth am I going to expect a boyfriend feeling/singing songs that have lyrics that go, "Why does love always feel like a battlefield?" How does one move on from past relationships with reminders of bitterness with songs like, "Gives you Hell" or "Bust the windows Out your car?"? I hate to say it, but every single time I hear Beyonce's "Single Ladies" I get the urge to throw stuff in my ex-boyfriend's face. That's not productive. At all. Why? That's because it is giving attention to the fact that yes, he hurt me, and for some odd reason, I want him to hurt like I did. What exactly is that going to do for me???

Seriously. Think about it, every time you wanted to get back at someone for something that they did to you. What would their pain, anger, irritation, what have you, what would that do for you? And don't kid me out with that, "Oh, I'd feel better." Really? Would you? Them feeling at odds is really going to take away that negative feeling you had, and apparently still have? Ah, that sounds a bit angry. Let me tone that down because I'm actually talking to myself here, haha. Anyway, here's my advice. Just let it go.

Furthermore, how on earth do you expect to have a gorgeous beautiful day with a song such as, "You had a bad day?" Don't get me wrong, these are all great songs, I actually like every song I have mentioned up to this point.

But what I am trying to say is that most of us love lyrics because we can relate to them in some way. They remind us of something that we have experienced, good or bad. So if we are attempting 100% at creating our own reality and living the good life, feeling good now, shouldn't we strive to only relate to things that feel good? Music, leisure reading, television, whatever? We should listen to music that makes us feel good. We should listen to music that helps us send positive vibrations out into the universe!

So that is what I did. You'll notice that there are only 17 songs, that's just what I am starting with. It's actually harder than I thought to find songs that didn't have some sort of negativity in it. The search continues! My goal was to find songs with both positive lyrics, AND songs that just plain feel good. Hope you like it!

Oh, and I tried to find a little bit of everything because I know that different people listen to different things. I actually love all of these songs, haha. By the way, yes, I know that one or two of the songs have pretty obvious meaning...but you know what, the lyrics completely fit what we're doing here! I won't hate on a song that feels good and has great lyrics :P

Well that's about it. I hope you enjoy the playlist, and swing by whenever you want to listen to songs that are in line with your alignment to the universe. I will continue to add songs, so don't worry about it being so short.

I hope that you have enjoyed this gracious beautiful day! I know I did! I got to get a haircut outside as the critters were being active. It was awesome! Tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter, so yank on some shorts and take a fun walk or something. Or don't; do what feels good! Haha! Good night!
