I love to sing. I sing in the car. I sing at home. I sing at church. I may not be very good at it, but I do it any way :) I like this scripture from Doctrine and Covenants 25:
12 "For my soul delighteth in the song of the heart; yea, the song of the righteous is a prayer unto me, and it shall be answered with a blessing upon their heads."
I am so grateful for music. I am grateful that music can encourage me, can express what I am feeling in a way that I never could say in words, can pump me up, can entertain me, and can bring peace to my soul. Some of the many faces of music.
Some of my favorite songs currently (pop, classical, and church) (in no particular order): "Conquest of Paradise" by Vangelis, "The Story" by Brandi Carlile, "We are Young" by Fun, "Here in Your Arms" by Hellogoodbye, "Gassenhauer" by Carl Orff, "What Child is This" by Trans-Siberian Orchestra, "He Hears Me" by Hilary Weeks, "Without You" by David Guetta, "If You Could Hie to Kolob" arrangement by Lex de Azevedo, Suo Gan (as sung in Empire of the Sun), "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty" arranged by Mark Geslison and Geoff Groberg (from their Come Ye Children of the Lord cd).
OK, so I know that's a lot and that's not even all of them :) I love music.
Here are some quotes about music that I found online.
Music's the medicine of the mind. ~John A. Logan
Music is the universal language of mankind. ~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Outre-Mer
Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo

You have such wonderful taste in music. You are so blessed to love good uplifting music.
The following is a giant HINT about a possible Christmas present for your papa and mama: a CD with all those songs you mentioned burned thereto!
It is evident that the proverbial acorn didn't fall too far from the tree. You are definitely "your fathers daughter!"
