Musical Memories: I've been Tagged

Loz started this meme called 'Musical Memories' which was then passed onto me by Wonder. This meme is about listing between 5 and 10 songs which have made an impact on my life. However, I'll simply twist it a little bit, and list the songs which have left and emotional impact on me somehow. So I thought I'd spice up my blog a little with this meme, thanks to Wonder!

So here we go:

#1 I hope you dance by Lee Ann Womack. It's one of these inspirational songs that always lights this little flame of hope within me when I feel down. A beautiful song.

#2 Who wants to live forever? by Queen. This particular song always leaves me in an emotional wreck. It reminds me of very close and beloved friends of mine, who live in a hopeless atmosphere of war and conflicts. The very title of this song is the exact words one of them once said to me, when speaking of the war situation in their country: 'Who wants to live forever?'. When death becomes less painful than life itself, we should reconsider appreciating life than claiming wars, only to destroy what's left of hope.

#3 Because you loved me by Celine Dion. It remain me of my wonderful mother. 'I'm everything I am' because of her.

#4 I will survive by Gloria Gaynor. Uplifting, inspirational and wise song, that reminds me of a friend who got divorced. A rare, special friend at heart. And she will survive. Yes, she will survive.

#5 Remember Me by Josh Groban. Beyond my words..

OK. I'm not going to tag specific people for this meme, but rather everyone who reads this post and who is interested and wants to join. This way anyone interested can join, so feel free to let me know if you're writing a post with this meme (in the comment section) so my readers and I get to read your version ;)

Happy writing!

Wow Reema, I didnt know you had it in you? I wonder how you dance...hey just wondering. "It's okay" (wink, wink)

Reema said...

Rodrigo: A translation would be quite nice ;)

Rogie: Hehe, yeah I kinda happen to like music with the extra meaning, if you know what I mean. And I'm not really the dancing type :P

Interesting meme list.
Enjoyed the photos here; that little girl at the bottom with the doll - precious.
I was just reading of Maddeline missing this morning; what a sad story that is. Hope they find her soon.
