Our stereo in the truck (which I drive!) has been broken for nearly a year now (I KNOW!!!)
The fact that I have survived all this time without it is nearly unbelievable. Music is my life and it is usually the only way to get me moving, pick me up when I'm down, to clean the house, or whatever. And it was always the best way to start the day, for both me and Abber-dabber.
Ahh.. those were the days. Often I would take an extra back-road (or three) when we had a little extra time just to get to the best part of the song (and the part that I just so happen to sound fantastic at) so I can wail it out. It has a sort of therapeutic effect for me and can alter any mood.
So now on the way to school every morning, I try to sing songs aloud to Abigail that I remember (from the days of old when I HAD A STEREO!) but quickly learned that I don't really know all the words to some songs that I thought I did.
At least it inspires giggles.
Do you do that? Sing songs that you sing all the time but notice that you only really know the words when the actual song is playing? Weird.
And I don't know how to explain it but there are songs that I love (and I mean LOVE, LOVE) and come to find out, I don't even know half the words!
It's... It's just such an odd feeling. As if it lets me down or something. I know this is dumb.
OH! And when you know exactly what song you want to sing but for the LIFE of you, you cannot think of even the first word?!
Better yet! You can remember half of the chorus, but not the rest, and you know... you just KNOW that if you could remember just the first word or two, the entire thing would come back to you.
YES! THAT is what I'm talking about. I feel like I'm going to get a lot of support on that one. That's got to happen to everybody, right?
Does it...? :)
I have definitely had that a happen to me. I am a huge Bon Jovi fan but every once in awhile I realize that there are some songs I don't really know the words to. Drives me nuts but probably won't change!

haha So glad I'm not the only one! :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
I don't think the kiddos or my husband would like me singing in the car if we didn't have a stereo. They would probably rather walk than to ride with me. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm stopping by and following along via the linkin' with my ladies hop.

We have a DadVan, which is like a minivan, but tricked out with way too many speakers. 2.0 regularly drowns my singing out by turning the volume up... I can only imagine what would happen if I was signing without accompaniment.
ReplyDeletehahaha A DadVan.. I love it. :)
DeleteThat happens to me all the time. It's so frustrating.

I pretty much relate to everything in this post. The worst one has to be the one when you just can't think of the first word. So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteI know right?! So glad I'm not the only one. :)

Happy Monday! ~

Hahaha, that is so very true, it's scary (were you hiding in my closet today?)
ReplyDeletePlus that picture matches exactly what my daughter keeps saying to me, as soon as I open my mouth to sing. And I used to believe I am quite the Primadona :)
LOL Too funny!!!
DeleteI'm usually pretty good about remembering the words but my husband is the worst. He will often make up his own lyrics, which are pretty funny most of the time. Just don't tell him that. :-)
ReplyDeleteWhen I was in high school, the radio in my vehicle stopped working so I had to ride around with a 2 cassette boom box in the front seat. Talk about some sweet jams!
I'm visiting from the Smiles Monday blog hop. :-)
hahaha Too funny. Wait.. What's a cassette..? LOL Kidding!!!
DeleteGlad you came by! :)
Yeah, I don't know the words to any song - unless it's playing on the radio.
ReplyDeleteI think it has something to do with tune? or maybe tempo. I don't think anyone wants to hear me sing without the radio/ipod. But with the ipod, I can jam to no tomorrow!
Ha!
Hahaha , the lyrics problems could never be solved . Don't worry , I am standing side by side for that!
