Our Music!

I wanted to tell a little about our music because it really is an important part of our life. Trent has always loved music and has introduced me to some very good bands (Big Head Todd, Travis and Stereophonics... before they were 'mainstream'). He is always coming home saying, "you gotta hear this". Sometimes I wonder if he isn't in the wrong profession, maybe he should be a 'Band Discoverer'.... I just made up that job, I think, but it sounds good. And, also, Haillie is a 'music lover'. She is always rockin' out with her ipod on in the back yard... singing for all the world to hear - her favorite bands/songs right now are: Colbie Calliet, Popular (from Wicked), and the staple - High School Musical. Anyway, I put some of our music on the blog just because I love it and I could. So now, I'll explain:
Jack Johnson is the guy we turn to to just 'chill'. It reminds me of when we were first married, with not much money, and a big back yard... so we would BBQ, bring out the baby pool for Haillie and blast Jack... he's good for that still.
John Denver is one of my all-time favorite musicians... I remember listening to him with my dad in our yellow Granada on the way to the Frost Top to get a 'big wheel'. My all-time favorite Denver song is 'For You'... if you want an amazing love song - this is the one. But really anything by him is great (except the song called, "Please daddy, don't get drunk for Christmas" - I really can't recommend that one).
Closer to You - The Wallflowers - this is typical of Trent... He hears about I song I've heard on the radio and really liked, then, soon enough, we'll be driving somewhere and he'll put in a CD and it's that exact song. That's what happened with this song, so I had to put it here to remember.
Let my love open the Door - Trent has certain bedtime songs he has sung to Haillie through the years (Wooden Heart by Elvis and Sweet Child of Mine by Guns n Roses) and I couldn't find good versions of those songs, but I did find the song I sing to Taryn each night - Let my love open the door.
Last but not least - my favorite artist of the moment - Leigh Nash. I love this song - My Idea of Heaven, for so many reasons. If there was a song to explain what I feel about meeting and marrying Trent, it would be this song; there is a line that basically says, when I looked at you, I recognized my fate (cheesy, but very true for me). For those of you that know how we met, doesn't that say it exactly right? Love at first sight... or at least knowing I would love him the first time I met him. I really do feel like our very imperfect family is the closest thing I've ever experienced of Heaven on Earth. I LOVE my family... I adore you Trent, I am in love with my girls: Haillie and Taryn, and I can't get enough of my teddy bear, Jesse.
So that's it for now, I will put more on and change them up, but for now... have a good listen.
