What about love?

Well....it's certainly inspired lots of music over the years, and even I have a few favorite love-inspired tunes.

Here's a sappy one from the mid-80s:

Survivor - "The Search is Over"

And two that are a little more my speed::

The Scorpions - "No One Like You"

Blink 182 - "Rock Show"

But my FAVORITE of the bunch? This super-amazing cover of a super-amazing song...and it doesn't hurt that I was absolutely in love with early-nineties Mike Ness!

Social Distortion - "Ring of Fire"

That's all I'll post, but I'm pretty sure any song by Journey, Chicago or Air Supply would fit, too.

Life gets hard and then it gets good

....like I always knew it would.

I figured my brand new blog was as good a place as any to start participating again in Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop.

One of the prompts this week was "Tell us about your song."

I'm not really sure in which context this should be, but since I love music, I just HAD to pick this one. And? I don't really have a song that I feel is necessarily "about" me, or that I could have written myself. So many songs speak to me for so many different reasons. And some songs don't speak for me as a whole, but bits and pieces of them stand out.

For instance, I'm currently all about the line

"Life gets hard and then it gets good
Like I always knew it would"

from Social Distortion's "California (Hustle and Flow). I love this song for the guitars, and overall sound. I love to get up and move around to it! But I mostly like it because there is one specific part that I can totally relate to - a huge part of my life has been very hard for the past few years, but it's getting good. Through it all, I have always known that I was destined for something better, and that things would change, and for the better. Every time I hear this, it's like just a small little bit of reaffirmation.  I am so ready for life to get good!
