Music Lyrics That Inspire
What type of music inspires you?
The other night I was watching the show, America’s Got Talent, and saw one of the four final contestants, Julienne Irwin, sing “Somewhere Over the Rainbow”. I couldn’t believe how much that song touched my heart. If that isn’t an inspirational song, I don’t know what is!
Here are the lyrics…
Somewhere over the rainbow
Way up high,
There’s a land that I heard of
Once in a lullaby.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.
Someday I’ll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far
Behind me.
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me.
Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly.
Birds fly over the rainbow.
Why then, oh why can’t I?
If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow
Why, oh why can’t I?
She did a spectacular job singing this song. Makes me wanna go out and get some singing lessons! Watch Julienne Irwin’s performance…

Justin Timberlake’s My Love: A Dance Song and Love Song in One
One of my favorite dance songs right now is Justin Timberlake’s My Love from his FutureSex/LoveSounds Album. Not only does it have a beat you can groove to, it’s basically a love song in disguise:
“If I wrote you a symphony
Just to say how much you mean to me (What would you do?)
If I told you you were beautiful
Would you date me on the regular? (Tell me would you?)
Well baby I’ve been around the world
But I ain’t seen myself another girl (like you)
This ring here represents my heart
But there is just one thing I need from you (say I do)…”
(Lyrics via MetroLyrics)
You don’t get too many song lyrics like that nowadays - especially from a popular dance song.
