"I'm in a Hurry"

Whenever I'm just running around with my head cut off, I try to think of the song "I'm in a Hurry (And Don't Know Why)" by the group Alabama. The song is all about just realizing that "things" can wait and the most important part of living is actually living. I remember one time I was going to work, and I wasn't late, but I felt rushed and I was thinking of all the things I had to do and then this song came on the radio. 

I just took a deep breath and let it out slowly. I told myself I had time to get everything done and that I should just enjoy the drive, which was through a nice little valley with fields and a creek and a sky wide open. What song do you listen to when you just need to remember what's important?

"I'm a Believer"

I've been trying lately to built up the music collection on my computer with songs that have a great beat and make me just want to get up and get to work. One of my absolute favorite songs is "I'm a Believer" by Smash Mouth. It always puts me in a great mood, and I think the message of someone thinking he wouldn't find love and then finding the perfect girl is really great. It just goes to show that hope should reign eternal. The Monkees version of the song is also really popular.

You can find the song on iTunes (and lots of other places, I'm sure, but I like iTunes). It always makes me think of the movie Shrek because the song is featured in it, and I can't even tell you how many times I've seen that movie. If you haven't seen the first Shrek, you definitely should! It is cute and funny and sweet and it has enough adult humor to keep me entertained. :)
