The Closet Intellectual: Monday's Motivations- Musical Edition~*

A new twist for a motivational Monday-- music! Here are the songs I have for the people {& some objects} in my life. And I don't mean the declared "our songs," I mean that if my life had a soundtrack, these are the songs that would play when these people enter the room. I'm really lucky, they all move to an awesome beat.

Oh & I'm a lyric person, as opposed to a beat or rhythm music lover, hence the wide variety of genres.

For Thing 1-- everyone needs a Thing 1 in their life. She is magical. She is a wonderment. She makes the world better just for breathing its air, trust me.

Billy Joel - She's Got a Way

For Thing 2-- He is not in to country & western, but this song is him to the last note. I call him my Golden boy, because he is. He has the best sense of humor, the sweetest heart & no fear. He doesn't live life, he eats it for breakfast.

Garth Brooks - Standing Outside the Fire

For Thing 3-- She will change the world, just you wait & see. The traditional champions of truth & justice have nothing on Thing 3. All she needs is a cape & we are all saved.

Green Day - Last of the American Girls

For my husband-- When I daydreamed about who I would spend my life with & what my life would be like, the dreams were never as good as he has made my reality.

Adele - Daydreamer

For my folks-- The first one is for my dad, my pater familias & the man with all the answers {or at least, the ability to help you find them for yourself}. He is the moral compass, the logical solution ...my mind just feels better for talking to him.

Cold Play - Fix You

I can't listen to this song without tearing up, true story-- my mom is my safe place. Enough said.

Bob Dylan - Shelter from the Storm

And now for the the important objects in my life *giggle*

For the Audi. Yeah, my car has a song... I call him Mr. Luva Luva...He's an Audi TT! Convertible!
Don't judge me.

Shaggy - Mr. Bombastic

For my house. Weird to have a song for your house? yes. Is this really the song? Oh yes. I love my stupid, little house & all the blood sweat & tears that have gone in to saving her from the brink of disaster..change the lyrics slightly {your fresh paint stains, on the front lobe of my left side brains...} & you have why I would never sell her. If you haven't found your home yet {not your house, your home} then you wouldn't understand~*

Train - Hey, Soul Sister

And last but definitely not least, for y'all-- to send you out into your week {and I apologize up front for getting it stuck in your head~*}

Rusted Root - Send Me On My Way
