Today is a Josh Groban Day

Last December while flexing my new found independence, I went online to the iTunes store and purchased Awake by Josh Groban. I love it. February Song is the crowd pleaser and probably the most popular song on the CD. I had just gone through a break up with my boyfriend (we are happily together again, put the break up behind us, and have made plans for the future) when I first heard the song. This song is why I bought the CD; particularly, this line stuck out to me the most.

I promise you I, I'll come back to you one day


It was like a message that me and my boyfriend would some day live happily ever after.
I also like Solo Por Ti because my musically inclined ear loves the dynamics and the smoothness of the song even though I don't really know what the lyrics say. My all time favorite song is You Are Loved (Don't Give Up).

Don't give up
It's just the weight of the world
When your heart's heavy
I...I will lift it for you


I'm not sure who Josh Groban wrote this song for or what it's supposed to mean; but I'm sure he's OK with my own interpretations. Somewhere out there, someone loves me and never forget it. Don't give up. My Heavenly Father is looking out for me, and loves me. No matter what I do. No matter how many times I mess up. He's there taking care of me. These thoughts are comforting me and getting me through my ever stressful life.
Another song of his that has been creeping up my favorites list is Awake, the song the CD was entitled after. It's a love song about a couple whose tomorrow is not promise and all they have is today. Although I can not presently apply this song to my life, the emotion in Josh Groban's voice keeps me listening and intrigued.

We'll let tomorrow wait
You're here, right now, with me
All my fears just fall away
When you are all I see.

So today, all day long, is Josh Groban Day. I will be listening to the songs, letting them inspire me as I sing along.

What's your favorite encouraging song?

I'm more of a rhythm guy. I don't associate with the lyrics because sometimes you get caught up in the character and fell like "Hey that's just like me!" and the artist drops the bomb on you and reveals that the person singing is dead or gay or something.

Garrr!

All joking aside though I really like Kerli's Bulletproof. It reminds me that women are like delicate yet thorny flowers. When they hurt you its only to protect themselves from pain. Not encouraging I guess but it really helps me appreciate and be extra kind to my wife.

>HektikLyfe: I know what you mean about the dead or gaything. c: Anyway, I'm at school now but I will definitely listen to the song when I get home.

Her voice is a little different if you haven't heard her already but that's exactly what I like. She's not like your typical pop girl. Her voice cracks really cool. It makes it sound very emotional.

I reviewed the entire album song by song a few months ago if you're interested.
