#23-Playlist

Well guys, I changed my mind...I added a play list to my blog. Don't worry I didn't want to offend anybody who didn't want the music nor did I want to lose any readers. So I put my music on silent. That way if you want to listen to it you can by turning it on, if not you don't have to. (this is especially for those of you who blog at work) You just have to scroll down to the bottom of the page to turn it on. Depending on what you all think of the songs I may change it to the auto on mode instead of you turning it on, but for now I want to give you all the option to listen. Most of the songs I have included are on the softer side, so they shouldn't come on and blast you out of your skin. Well unless the volume on your computer is on really high. The songs I have included have either significant meaning, to myself, Shawn or both of us.


Like I said I wasn't going to have music on my blog but I was really missing Shawn last night. At bed time I went up to my room and just started listening to songs that we had at our wedding. Needless to say I ended up crying my eyes out...I hadn't done that in a while. I think I just needed to get everything out again. After I was done I realized how important music really is when you are grieving the loss of someone. The songs made me remember the good times with Shawn. I'm going to list the songs I've included and tell you why they are important to me. This will probably get long from this point on so you don't have to read on if you don't want to.


1. If I Had Only Known-Reba McIntire- This was in the movie 8 Seconds. Shawn loved this movie. It was one of the songs that is played at the end and I've always liked it. I remember one day telling Shawn that is such a horrible song to play after a person has died. But the words are so true. Please if you don't listen to any other song, please listen to this one.
2.Homesick-Mercy Me-I have never listed to this group before. Somebody suggested I listen to the song. I did and like it-again, very true words.
3.My Heart Will Go On-Celine Dion-Yup from Titanic-This song makes me cry on a good day,let alone how I've felt for the last day or so. Shawn even cried when this song was played in the movie. But I can't help it I love it.
4.Neon Moon-Brooks and Dunn-This was Shawn's favorite country group. We saw them in concert several times. This was the first song Shawn sang out loud to me.
5.What About Now-Daughtry- I just really like this song. Again the words are fitting.
6.Thank You For Loving Me-Bon Jovi-This song was played in our wedding. A young lady sang it at the very end of the ceremony as we were walking down the aisle. I have always loved Bon Jovi. I loved that we had a Bon Jovi song at our wedding.
7.In the Arms of an Angel-Sarah McClaughlin-I've always liked this song. Did you see Sarah and Pink sing it last night at the ACM awards? It was great.
8.Little Wonders-Rob Thomas- We both really like Rob Thomas. Shawn said this is one of his favorite songs by him
9.Amazed-Lonestar-Another song that was played during our wedding. Right after we exchanged our vows. This was also played at Shawn's funeral with pictures of Shawn playing in the background.
10.I Cross My Heart-George Strait-This was our first dance song at our wedding.
11.Lost in The Moment-Big and Rich-When this song fist came out Shawn looked me in the eyes and told me that if we ever renewed our vows he would want this song played at the ceremony. He told me that is exactly how he felt when we got married.
12.When I Close My Eyes-Kenny Chesney-Kenny Chesney was the first concert that we went to as a couple. This is the first song that Kenny sang at the concert.
13.I Love the Way You Love Me-John Michael Montgomery-Every time Shawn heard this song, he said it reminded him of me. Yes, I cry at movies I've seen hundreds of times. Yes, I loved the way Shawn loved me.
14.Ice Cream-Sarah McClaughlin-I'm not going to lie, Shawn hated this song. But I like it so it is on the list.
15.Just To See You Smile-Tim McGraw-Shawn always told me that he liked to do things to make me smile. So this is for him-my memories of him bring tears to my eyes, but make me smile at the same time.



Ok there you have it. The list of songs that are important to me. I could have added many many more, but for now I thought those were enough. After typing out the list I realize that many of them are sad type songs, but I guess that is kind of what I'm feeling like right now...sad. One day soon I will re-due my play list and jazz it up a bit.



If there is one song on my list that I ask you to listen to...listen to every word it would be "If I had Only Known" When you listen remember your husband, remember to love him, and remember the small moments that you are able to share with him. Remember the sound of his voice and the touch of his hand. Remember to tell him that you love him!

Again I set this up so you have to turn it on. If you think you all would like this music on all the time let me know and I will change it back.


Thanks for reading about my memories.
