My H has favorite tunes that remind him of her and vice versa. I'd like to get some CDs that might help bring some of his focus home. Any ideas music buffs? Your ideas might be good to share with all. Music is so powerful at expressing emotions. Thanks for sharing! Jenn<P>------------------<BR>

" Look at us " by Vince Gill is a good one. <BR>Ian

"I Still Believe in You" by Vince Gill and "When I Said I Do" by Clint Black are two very beautiful songs about having not lost the commitment even after trials and tribulations.

The album "Stories from the Heart" by Bob Carlisle. He's the guy who did "Butterfly Kisses" which was nice but kinda hokey too! (Don't blast me just my opinion. They played the heck out of it on the radio.) This album is full of hope, spirit, romance and I really like it. Played it a lot when I first got that fated phone call.<P>Let me know how you like it?<P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

My H and I like to listen to "Still The One" by Shania Twain.<BR>We also like "I Still Believe in You" by Vince Gill, "Your Love Amazes Me" by John Berry and "Nothin But Love Standing In The Way" by the Wilkinsons<BR>Music has had a big affect on me since this journey began. I really feel the story of the song now. <p>[This message has been edited by Taz (edited October 03, 1999).]

One of my favorite is...<BR>your'e in my heart and soul by Rod Stewart.

I know what yu are going through.<P>My H had songs that reminded him of her, I broke the CD's, fit of anger, but they are gone !<P>Our favorite became The Barenaked Ladies. The lyrics ar really thoughtful, and if you really discect them, you can tell they have "been there, done that". "nutshell" is a good song, and there are others. Just our personal favorites.<P>There is a song from their album "Stunt" called Call and Answer. I'll write you the words. Welik it because of it's lyrics and great tune.<P>Call and Answer by Barenaked Ladies<P>I think it's getting to the point<BR>where I can almost be myself again<BR>I think it's getting to th point<BR>where we have almost made ammends<BR>I think it's the getting to the point<BR>that is the hardest part<P>and if you call, I will answer<BR>and if you fall, I'll pick you up<BR>and if you court this disaster<BR>I'll point you home<P>You think I only think about you<BR>when we're both in the same room<BR>You think I'm only here to witness<BR>the remains of love exhumed<BR>You think we're here to play<BR>a game of who loves more than whom<P>and if you call, I will answer<BR>and if you fall, I'll pick you up<BR>and if you court this disaster<BR>I'll point you home<P>You think it's only fair to do what's best for you and you alone<BR>You think it's only fair to do the same to me<BR>when you're not home<BR>I think it's time to make this something that is more than only fair<P>so if you call, I will answer<BR>and if you fall, I'll pick you up<BR>and if you court this disaster<BR>I'll point you home<P>But I'm warning you, don't ever do<BR>those crazy messed-up things that you do<BR>If you ever do,<BR>I'll promise you I'll be the first to crucify you<BR>Now it's time to prove that you've come back here to rebuild....rebuild....rebuild<BR>*************<P>Hope you like it. It is one of our favorites. Not to sappy, and tons of other just good fun music!<P>------------------<BR>You will be stronger because of this.<P>

Suzy Q,<P>You know how we are all reminded of OP. Well Rod Stewart is my husband's OW favorite. They even had plans to go to his concert together. I used to really love Stewart. I even came across several of his old albums, and I mean really albums...the kind you play at 33 1/3 speed on a turn table. Now the mere mention of him or hearing his music kills me. Especially "Have I told you lately that I love you?" It makes me break down in tears every time. I have been in Kmart on 4 seperate occassions and the song has come on. Feel like a fool trying to get it together in the local Kmart of our small town.<P>You are right though...for some soul searching and good sentimental music Stewart is tops. Too bad the @#*%$ had to screw that up for me too.<P><P>------------------<BR>God bless you and all of us.<P>Samantha<BR>

Some of the old "Meatloaf" albums have some good songs. I also like "Truly, Madly, Deeply" by Savage Garden<BR>Bryan Adams has some fun stuff too.<BR>"I want to be your underware." is a hoot!<BR>:0)

One of my personal favorites is Gloria Estefan's "Coming Out of the Dark". She wrote this after her recovery from that bus accident that she barely survived.

Hi JJ,<P>A bunch of people have posted already with suggestions of their faves. Question for you: what kind of music do you like?<P>Suse and I love music and almost all kinds. What kind of stuff sounds good to you? Put me in the right church, I'll try to find the pew! <P>Be well.

Here's our favorite. It's by Celine Dion and it's called "If That's What it Takes".<P>You're the bravest of hearts,<BR>You're the strongest of souls<BR>You're my light in the dark,<BR>You're the place I call home<BR>You can say it's all right,<BR>But I know that you're breaking up inside<BR>I see it in your eyes<BR>Even you face the night afraid and alone<BR>That's why I'll be there<P>When the storm rises up,<BR>When the shadows descend<BR>Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end<BR>Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make<BR>Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes<BR>If that's what it takes<P>You can sleep in my arms,<BR>You don't have to explain<BR>When your heart's crying out,<BR>Baby, whisper my name<BR>'Cause I've reached out for you<BR>When the thunder is crashing up above<BR>You've given me your love<BR>When you smile like the sun<BR>That shines through the pain<BR>That's why I'll be there<P>When the storm rises up,<BR>When the shadows descend<BR>Ev'ry beat of my heart, ev'ry day without end<BR>I will stand like a rock,<BR>I will bend till I break<BR>Till there's no more to give,<BR>If that's what it takes<BR>I will risk everything,<BR>I will fight, I will bleed<BR>I will lay down my life,<BR>If that's what you need<BR>Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make<BR>Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes<P>Through the wind and the rain,<BR>Through the smoke and the fire<BR>When the fear rises up,<BR>When the wave's ever higher<BR>I will lay down my heart, my body, my soul<BR>I will hold on all night and never let go<BR>Ev'ry second I live, that's the promise I make<BR>Baby, that's what I'll give, if that's what it takes<P>If that's what it takes<BR>Every day<BR>If that's what it takes<BR>Every day<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>

"After All" by Cher & Peter Cetera<BR>and I think there is this song called, "Looks Like We Made It," but I can't remember who sings it...

Amy Grant : Oh how the years go by<P>There were times we stumbled<BR>They thought they had us down<BR>But we came around<BR>How we rolled an rumbled<BR>We got lost and we got found<BR>Now we're back on solid ground...<P>WOW!!! <BR>------------------<BR>~Sheryl<P>Marriage: the most important contract you'll ever enter into, and the most sacred.<P><BR><p>[This message has been edited by new_beginning (edited October 04, 1999).]

Sally...Thanks so much for posting those lyrics! That song came out just as H and I were beginning to rebuild and I loved it, it was so fitting!<P>------------------<BR>Joan <P>"Turn your wounds into wisdom..." That really cool black gal who was on Oprah all summer.<BR>

Cheryl, isn't it wierd that Amy wrote all those wonderful lyrics about being married forever, surviving the fire, etc. and is now in the process of getting divorced?<P>That's kinda discouraging, huh?

Geez Maya, you really know how to kill my happy spirits - nah! But yes, that is more than weird, especially seeing as she's a Christian...<P>Oh well, still a good song!!
