Music is the window to my soul- My favorite songs

Music is an art of sound in time that expresses  ideas and emotions in significant forms through the elements of rhythm,  melody, harmony, and color. ... the tones or sounds employed, occurring  in single line (melody) or multiple lines (harmony), and sounded or to  be sounded by one or more voices or instruments, or both.

I listen to a wide selection of music. I don't have one specific type of music that interests me, and I mostly listen to music that tickles my fancy.  I have even started to listen to some rap music, and enjoy some of the songs.  

Music has a very interesting effect on me and because of my imagination I can be literally transported back into the past in a matter of seconds.  I do not listen to music much during the day, but at night when everyone else is asleep, when I have some me-time, I put on my earphones and transport myself to a place I knew long ago. Music instantly change my mood.  When I feel down or a little bit out of it, there is nothing like a little bit of music to change my whole outlook on life.        

Isn't it amazing that I struggle to remember where I put my pen down, or where I left my book, but I can remember all the words from my favorite songs as if I have listened to it yesterday.

I would like to share 5 of my favorite songs with you.  These songs mean the world to me and I treasure these songs with my whole heart.   

The first song is my all time favorite.

My brother @jacor played this song to me after my divorce, and it means the world to me. He might not realize but he was the one that got me through a terrible time in my life.  He fixed me.....
