AAM Challenge #10: The Soundtrack of your life.

Challenge number 10 at All About Me about the soundtrack of my life. It starts with a great quote:

The best music... is essentially there to provide you something to face the world with.

~Bruce Springsteen

Music is a powerful means of communication and has the power to cause emotions to well up within us. The emotional response can be varied: happiness, sadness, nostalgia, peacefulness, energy, festivity. This challenge is all about thinking of music that has been an important part of your life, your “soundtrack.” It can be a special song your grandfather sang to you as a child (or one that you sing to your own child), the party mix you listened to your freshman year of college or the one song that brings you to tears every time you hear it. What speaks to you in a special way?

I have lots of songs that speak to me in a special way...one for each occassion! But this song was on my cd-player when I was driving in my car and thinking what song would be the one and only soundtrack of my life.

Suddenly it hit me: this had to be that special soundtrack!..Although I had heard it a thousand times before...

The lyrics of this song say so much about my view on life and especially about my life with my hubby Michael. It is a song of my favourite dutch singer, called Ilse De Lange.

Here is my take on the challenge:

I sort of highlighted the two most important lines with a journaling tag. 

Nice detail: I used some of the supplies I won in the previous challenge at AAM. These are the Loire Valley papers from Kaisercraft, but there were a lot more yummie things in this prize. Hope to show you some again next time!
