Songs that reach your soul






I have loved this song for about five years.  I downloaded it.  I listened till I learned 75% of the words.  Then I went to see Les Miserables and I forgot this song was in this movie.  I could hardly contain myself from bursting out as loud as I could all my emotions into the lyrics. But I was aware of the fact I was out of my element and these people did not come to hear me.   I have done this many times in the shower (my family tells me).   When I am singing in the shower I don't even realize it.  It is sort of my one woman show!   I always think I sound wonderful in the shower as my voice echoes off the shower tile and feel I am hitting every note perfect (in my mind).

Are you a shower singer?  It is funny there are those that do and those that don't.

  What I do love is the songs from Les Miserable really reached people.  You forgot they are always singing.  It just blends in. This movies has really touched so many.  I read both my sister's blogs and facebook and loved reading about it.   Sister 3 -  I read your blog and have a memory of Mom going on that field trip with you and she also loved it!  That warms my heart and for some reason every time I see Les Miserables I think of you two sharing that moment.  I also love the movie with Liam N. in it.  I too have to share my Les Miserables moment.  

My daughter M's class is singing a lot of the songs in her spring concert.  I can't wait!  I really love listening to her sing from her heart and soul the same song that I love.  I dropped M. off to see a movie with her friend and she started singing.  She has such a beautiful, soft voice.   We started singing together and smiling all the while.  She even gained confidence and got louder.  As we pulled into a spot and kept singing we realized the people next to us could hear us and  were smiling and laughing with joy!  They obviously had seen Les Miserable.   Then we got out and two couples came out singing a duet of the same song.  We starting smiling and laughing!  It was a great moment.  A great mom and daughter moment...a  great car load of friends moment.... and a great man and woman duet moment.  Now that is life.......C'est la Vie!
