Music: Gratitude Day 14

I could spend days, months, even longer talking about why I am grateful for music. Here is an attempt to briefly describe my appreciation for what music provides me.

Here is a short list of songs that communicate the range of emotions I feel right now, today.  

Disclaimer:

I include songs that I respond to and everyone's response is different and I did not study the lyrics or meanings extensively so hopefully I am not sharing songs with strange hidden meanings that I missed :)

Come Sail Away lyrics

Enjoying revisiting influential songs of my teens as I prepare for a new journey

Written by Dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by Dennis deyoung

Im sailing away, set an open course for the virgin sea
Ive got to be free, free to face the life thats ahead of me
On board, Im the captain, so climb aboard
Well search for tomorrow on every shore
And Ill try, oh lord, Ill try to carry on

I look to the sea, reflections in the waves spark my memory
Some happy, some sad
I think of childhood friends and the dreams we had
We live happily forever, so the story goes
But somehow we missed out on that pot of gold
But well try best that we can to carry on

A gathering of angels appeared above my head
They sang to me this song of hope, and this is what they said
They said come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me

I thought that they were angels, but to my surprise
They climbed aboard their starship and headed for the skies
Singing come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
Come sail away, come sail away
Come sail away with me
