Five songs that you often listen to or that mean a lot to you:

Brad Paisley's "He didn't have to be" is a song that is guaranteed to make me cry every time I hear it. On New Year's Eve 1999, Army of Dad and I went to a friend's to ring in 2000 and they had a book of things we hoped to accomplish in the coming years or something to that effect. Each of us was asked to write in it and I remember reading AoD's hopes that he could be a good dad to his step-son, my eldest, and that song was how he hoped my son would look at him as he grew up. Still brings tears to my eyes and makes me love him even more to know that he wants to be a good father to him.

Tim McGraw's "Don't Take the Girl" is another with memories tied to AoD. I knew he loved me when he said he could understand the feelings conveyed in that song.

Ben Folds Five' "Brick" doesn't have any special meaning to me. I just think it is one of the best songs ever written. I can feel the lyrics and empathize. Just a beautiful song.

Live's "Lightning Crashes" was out when I was pregnant with my eldest son and I just felt so closely tied with the song. I thought about the lyrics to it and it just really hit me hard. I still love this song.

Godsmack's "Whatever" is just one of my favorite songs EVER. I think it may be one of AoD's, too. It is a great anger anthem with a chorus like "I'm doing the best I ever did. Now go away." Just a little note: Godsmack makes for great sex music. Not that I'd know or anything.

Who are you gonna pass this stick to? (5 persons and why)
LabKat because she is so opinionated, she'll have something to say about it.
Uzz because he is lives for music and will most definitely have some interesting things in his list.
I'll ask Gadfly to do it because I think his music taste is pretty eclectic, too.
Doug at Bogus Gold will get an invite to participate because I've seen where he has blogged about music he is listening to and it is as broad as my list.
And, finally, I'll ask Ken at it comes in pints for his opinions, too. I don't think I've ever seen him mention music, so that should be interesting.
