What's in a Song?

They say that "Music has the power to cause emotions to well up within us. These feelings are gripping - often irresistible - and seem to emerge from nowhere. These feelings colour our moods, affect our perceptions and generate a behavioural pattern. The indisputable fact about music is its power to evoke emotions. Is there anyone, for whom, music is completely emotional - neutral? Music has the ability to inevitably tap the still, mysterious deep well of our emotions."

I chose a song to put on my blog this evening. Its from the "Parade of Dreams" at Disneyland. Now those of you that really know me, know that I absolutely adore anything Disney... I'm a fanatic by some definitions! I know that not allot of people "get it" but my love for Disney started when I was a little girl. My grandma loved Disney and Disneyland and we used to always talk and share about it. We always watched our favorite Disney movies together. So long story short... my obsession as a little girl... has grown into an obsession as a BIG girl!


I chose this song because it has so many "emotions" for me when I hear it. It IS everything Disneyland to me. I've shared SO many wonderful memories with people there. With my Daddy, With my Hubby, With my Girlies, With "loved ones now departed" , With my "Wifey", With my Bestie, and with MANY other people that are special to me. To ME, Disneyland is not chaos. No matter how busy it is.. I enjoy just BEING there. I could not ride a single ride and be totally happy. It really IS the most "beautiful, peaceful place" to me! It is a place to see friends.. its a place to watch pure JOY on the face of my children! So that is why I chose this song for my blog... Because it IS me... So, Welcome to My Family Time! Turn your sound up and share in something that makes me happy :)
