When a Song Sticks in Your Head
When a Song Sticks in Your Head
What makes a song get stuck in your head? Is it something your hear or see or does a song you like just pop up? Today’s suggested topic for the Ultimate Blog Challenge is to share a song lyric or phrase and why it is important. For me, there is no song that is especially important but there are two that pop up often.
The other song that immediately pops in my head when visiting our roses is Bette Midler’s, “The Rose”. As I’m out with the roses, I think of my mom who loved all kinds of flowers. I look up to the sky and talk to mom and I know she is looking down listening and guiding me.
All the photographs of the roses are from our rose bushes. Hubby not only has a green thumb but he talks to his roses and they grow so beautiful . Do you have a favorite song that pop’s in your head and if so, what makes you start thinking or singing the song?
I love the first song…was ang at my grandmas funeral, was her favorite…I come to the garden alone, while the dew is till on the tosses and the voice I hear so sweet and clear, the son of God discloses…the other song I sang at two weddings many years ago…I was a singer, songwriter and have literally woken in the middle of the night to write down a song I heard in my dream,,,BUT I do have songs that frequently come to me…one is “Because He Lives”…that will just always pop in my head when I am busy…the sign you are a writer is when you pick the music to the scenes you are writing in your head! Lol!
Well I learned something new Katherine! I never know you were a singer/songwriter! I do the same when a blog comes to me in the middle of the night, but I usually send myself a text message. LOL We have so much in common with our favorite songs. I too love “Because He Lives”, it has so much meaning. I’d love to hear you sing one of your songs. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your song.
I have a few songs that will get me dancing and singing, but I’d have to say that my all-time favorite song is “Spirit In The Sky” by Norman Greenbaum
It’s Rock and Roll, but Spiritual. Music moves me in a special way and can stir up so many memories. I’ll hear a song on the oldies station that brings back memories of when I was in university in the early 70s.
I envy those who can sing and share their inner selves with the world.
Your roses are beautiful, as are your memories. And your husband is certainly an awesome gardener!
Thanks Jane, I love our roses and the memories. So as I’m reading your comment, I start singing “Spirit in The Sky”! Oldies, Country (the older Country) and Spiritual are my favorites. Thanks for stopping by.
Oh I love “The Rose” didn’t know she sang that! Now THAT WILL BE IN MY HEAD!!!! A song I just can’t ever seem to get out of my head is Danny’s Song by Anne Murray
That’s what happens to me Jennifer, as soon as I hear a song, I’m humming or singing it all day! Danny’s Song always comes to mind when I think of my grandson, Danny. Thanks for stopping by!
I love roses. I plant roses in my yard- you will see them in my post: How not to Garden: Confessions of. Talentless Gardener. You may have a good laugh at my flower growing technique. But sadly two of my rose bushes fid not make it through New England winter!
Well Sumudu, if I was planting the roses, they wouldn’t look like my hubby’s. I have always said I can kill an artificial flower! LOL Thanks for stopping by to smell the roses.
Congratulations on those roses! (Before or after the storm?) I love those second-growth end-of-summer roses… Lots of different songs pop into my head too. “The Rose” was one of them when I was a teenager, chafing against adults who I felt wanted to keep me one of the souls afraid of dying that never learn to live.
More recently it’s been songs into which the cats’ names fit, because one way to help the cats learn their names is calling each cat’s name to a different tune! I sing “Irene” to the tune of “Good Night, Irene” and “Violet” to the tune of “Sweet Violets” and so on…
That is so neat how you sing to your cats Priscilla! All these roses were before the storm, they are quite bewildered now, but like everything, they will grow back even stronger. Thanks for sharing your special songs!
