Music is...

40 B4 40
(skipped a day, 'cest la vie)  33 days to go


... the window to the soul? 

I went searching for the exact wording of the quote and came up short - which is exactly what I'm doing in the search for the perfect wedding songs (first dance, processional, recessional, other wedding phrases I've never heard before, etc. etc. etc.).  Who knew there were so many momentous wedding moments to capture with just the right chords, lyrics, tempo and timing?

Question: Slow and sweet? Fun and playful? Soft and serious? Traditional? Unique? Instrumental? Loaded lyrics?
Answer:  I have absolutely no idea. 

I do know that music changes everything though. I know that the right song can turn stop and go traffic into a mini-vacation.  It will reverse even the worst of bad days and can bring back powerful distant memories in an instant like just about nothing else in this world.   It can make you dance around in the car like your windows aren't made of clear, clear glass.  Which reminds me of the only other music quote I know (and love) - “Those who dance are considered insane by those who cannot hear the music.”  ~George Carlin (the source of many a great quote, truly). 

So - I'm going to relax about this particular wedding detail.  And I'm going to continue my research by simply listening to more music each day.  And I'm going to hope that it will just come to me.

In the meantime, I'm going to be that wonderfully insane dancer in the car next to you, even if no one else can hear the music...
