I've always loved music, but throughout my pregnancy, I've found myself much
more emotionally affected by music. Sure, it is probably hormones, at least
that's what people have told me, but I think that it is at least partly due
to looking at my life in a different way, as a mother instead of just a person.
Here are a few songs that have particularly affected me, either making me cry
from joy or from sadness.
- Hold On
- Sons of Maxwell: This song is about a woman who is suffering from Alzhimer's
Disease. The first time I heard this I was driving up to Michigan for my grandparents'
60th wedding anniversary, and I just burst into tears. Honestly, I still can't
listen to the song or look at the lyrics without crying.
- The
One Who Knows - Dar Williams: Dar wrote this for the new generation
of parents out there... the ones who want to raise their children to be happy
and to trust people. It is so joyful and happy that it brings tears to my
eyes. It also makes me sad, because someday my children will grow up and be
their own person, and I already know that that time will come too soon for
me.
- Mars -
Lori McKenna: I don't know why I like this song so much... maybe because she
talks about 'my boy's brown eyes', and I envision my son having brown eyes.
It is very hopefull and optomistic, with her son wanting to see Mars.
