Listen to the Words - Something Worth Leaving Behind

WARNING: Until I figure out how to make it work otherwise, this song will start up when you open my blog. Hopefully, my Blog Designer friend LIZ (thanks for the new banner, Liz!!) will know what to do to make it where you can click a button if you want to hear it...and that way you won't be subjected to it if you DON'T wanna hear it. I'll change the song every Monday. So... turn down your volume if music annoys you. Turn it up if you wanna hear the song. :)..... ETA: nevermind. I took the music off 'cause it kept locking up the computers of my Mac friends (bless your hearts!). Plus, I think it was probably an illegal link anyway. ;)

Music has been a huge part of my life since I can remember. It started as a child, listening to my Mom's John Denver and SuperGirls albums (a compilation of all the big girl acts from the 50s and 60s). In Middle School, I discovered my own music...Bryan Adams, Journey, Def Leppard, John Cougar, The Steve Miller Band, Pat Benatar, the Cars, the Police. In high school, music defined me... Pink Floyd, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Aerosmith, Crosby, Stills and Nash, James Taylor, the Eagles, Kansas, Boston. I discovered then that I was a generation too late. The music I loved the most had been recorded in the late 60s and 70s. As an adult, I've found that my tastes are a lot more diverse. I like SONGS rather than artists. Thanks to iTunes, I no longer buy records... er, CDs... instead, I buy songs. I'm not a fan of country music in general, but this song will go on my Life Soundtrack someday. I love it. Listen to the words:

Something Worth Leaving Behind
performed by LeeAnn Womack

Hey Monalisa, who was Leonardo?
Was he Andy Warhol?
Were you Marilyn Monroe
Hey Mozart, what kind of name is Amadeus
It's kinda like Elvis
You gotta die to be famous
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never hold a brush
that paints a masterpiece
Probably never find a pen
that writes a symphony
But if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey Midas you say you have the magic touch
But even all that shiny stuff
Someday is gonna turn to dust
Hey Jesus it must have been some Sunday morning
In a blaze of glory
We're still tellin' your story
I may not go down in history
I just want someone to remember me

I'll probably never dream a dream
and watch it turn to gold
I know I'll never lose my life
to save another soul
But, if I will love then I will find
That I have touched another life
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind

Hey baby see the future that we're building
Our love lives on in the lives of our children
And that's something
Something worth leaving behind
