Two songs... these two have opposite themes and remind me of the way I'd love to live life, and avoid at all costs. One is amazing to sing, the other one is so powerful to listen to - it brings tears to my eyes often... and I've listened to it 150303 times. Country, of course, because I'm a bumpkin.
Dixie Chicks - Top of the World - written by the most flucking amazing songwriter eeeever. This song breaks my heart - so much regret for a life not only lived in way that hurt the subject - but the effect on the people around him. Please God, don't let this be me. It's long... but stick with it - it moves me unlike any other lyric/performance.
Travis Tritt - It's a Great Day to Be Alive - Heck ya! It's the little blessings - they are all around us. Possibility and choice can be found in your bathroom mirror. This song ALWAYS lifts me up... and I'll sing it loud and proud with the windows down in the middle of ANYWHERE.
Okay wow!!! You are half my twin!!!! I seriously have a special love in my heart for that Travis Tritt song....somehow I figure no one else really knew (or cared) about it!
