Saving money by firing the psychologist and turning up the radio instead!

I love it when a song you have heard a thousand times has a new meaning. You have heard it before, you know every word, but all of a sudden you hear it for the first time and it becomes your anthem for that period of time. I am a fan of Natasha Bedingfield. A lot of her music is a little bit bubblegum and ketchy. But I love to turn it up while I am cleaning the house and dance around with the kids. It is lightbeat and airy and sometimes that is all I need to perk up my spirits. I became a fan of hers after I saw her in concert a couple years back. She opened for New Kids on the Block, and the only song of hers I could name at the time was Unwritten, and I absolutely love the message of that song, so I made sure we were all in our seats by the time she took the stage. She really impressed me, she was no frills, no lightshow, no back up dancers, just her. She talked before every song, opened up about what it meant to her, it was very personal, needless to say it was moving and I cried. The next day I bought two of her cds and have been a fan ever since.

So this morning I needed a little pick me up, I popped in Natasha, made some waffles for the little girls and set to work cleaning my kitchen. And then I heard "Wild Horses" for the hundreth/first time. All was good again. There is something about hearing a song that just touches you, it is reassuring in a way, like someone else has felt what you are feeling, you are not alone.

I feel these four walls closing in
My face up against the glass
I'm looking out..
Is this my life I'm wondering
It happened so fast
How do I turn this thing around
Is this the bed I chose to make
Its greener pastures Im thinking about
Wide open spaces far away

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear, but, not feel scared

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free too
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
Run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses!

I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bare back, care free along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumping head first headlong without a thought
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free

All I want is the wind in my hair
To face the fear but, not feel scared

Wild horses I wanna be like you
Throwing caution to the wind
I'll run free to
Wish I could recklessly love, like I'm longing to
I wanna run with the wild horses, run with the wild horses

I wanna run too.

Breaklessly abandoning my self to you

I wanna open up my heart and tell him how I feel

I wanna run with the wild horses.
