Songs That Make Your Heart Sing

Have you ever been invited to a play a game that you don't know? Are you the kind of person who plays without knowing the rules or do you wait until you figure out how it works before you join in the fun?

I'm usually the hang back girl, because I don't like to risk making a fool or spoiling the fun for everyone else who knows what they're doing. But how much fun is that?

So in the spirit of good fun, I'm responding to Barb's blog tag which was originated by Hilda Carrol's game, inspired by Optimist Lab's High Vibes Game. I don't know exactly how to play, but I'll give it my best shot, intending there's no way to do it wrong. :)

Barb asked me to name the song that makes my heart song lately, which is one that I didn't even know the name or artist of until I looked it up for this post. Here's Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten" (the link takes you to the YouTube video):

I am unwritten, can't read my mind, I'm undefined
I'm just beginning, the pen's in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines
We've been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can't live that way

Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten
The rest is still unwritten

Cool song, huh? I like songs about possibility! Here's Barb's original post that explains this game. If you want to join in, you can request a tag, but I sure don't know how.

Now I think I'm supposed to tag a couple of others for this game. Here goes:

Then I'm supposed to do trackbacks, but I don't even know what that is. When I figure it out, I'll edit this post. Would LOVE it if those of you reading would comment with your favorite songs that make your heart sing if you're so inspired!

'Night all. :)
