Meaning behind my song list

Dixie Chicks - It's so Hard
This is the song I listen to when I want to kick and scream that it's not fair. It's not an inspirational feel better type song, but it makes me feel better nontheless. I feel like I can throw a temper tantrum with it. :) My favorite part of the song:

It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
It's so hard when it doesn't come fast
It's so hard when it doesn't come easy
So hard

Michael Buble - Lost
This song means alot to Jason and I. It's about us, the strength we've gained, and how we're in this journey together. The chorus is:

'Cause you are not alone
I'm always there with you
And we'll get lost together
Until the light comes pouring through
It's when you feel like you're done
And the darkness has won
Babe, you're not lost
When your world's crashing down
And you can't bear the cross
I said, baby, you're not lost

Dream Big - Ryan Shupe
This is just a great, great 'feel better' inspirational type song. I'd never heard it before, but then recently drug out a cd that was a favor at a friend's wedding. This song happened to be on it. I don't even know that there is one favorite part, so here's most of the lyrics:

When you cry, be sure to dry your eyes,
'Cause better days are sure to come.
And when you smile, be sure to smile wide,
And don't let them know that they have won.
And when you walk, walk with pride,
And don't show the hurt inside,
Because the pain sill soon be gone.

And when you dream, dream big,
As big as the ocean, blue.
'Cause when you dream it might come true.
But when you dream, dream big.

And when you laugh, be sure to laugh out loud,
'Cause it will carry all your cares away.
And when you see, see the beauty all around and in yourself,
And it will help you feel okay.
And when you pray, pray for strength
to help to carry on,
When the troubles come your way.

Jason Mraz - I'm Yours
I have loved this song for years. Before it ever came on the radio, my brother found it online at AOL Music. It was shortly after my dad died, but we all immediately knew that this was a song that he would have loved. It ended up being a song that my brother, sister, and I all sang when we got together, jamming in the living room with the guitar and piano. What does this have to do with infertility you ask? Not much. One morning a few months ago though, Jason Mraz was playing it live on WZPL. I was having a particularly bad day, so turned it up because, like I said, I love the song. Towards the end he ended up going in to "Don't worry, be happy." I'd never heard him do that before, and as odd as it sounds, I felt like the song was speaking to me.

Monty Python - Always Look on the Bright Side of Life
Another song that has had meaning to us for a few years. My dad loved Monty Python, and loved this song. It was the last song he played on the piano, the morning that he unexpectedly passed away. It's actually the phrase that we put on his headstone as well, because it depicts how my dad looked at life. It's just another "if you feel your life is crappy" song, that just makes me feel better. One of the verses and chorus:

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten,
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps.
Just purse your lips and whistle.
That's the thing.
And...Always look on the bright side of life.
[whistle]
Always look on the right side of life,
[whistle]

Michael Buble - Smile
I told you I loved Michael Buble! :) This is the song I listen to when I'm looking for strength. There are times - before going to my HS reunion when I wasn't sure how many babies/PG women there would be - or before going to a baby shower, etc - that this song gives me the strength I need to get through it. My favorite part:

smile
though your heart is aching
smile
even though it's breaking
when there are clouds in the sky,
you'll get by
if you smile
through your fear and sorrow
smile
and maybe tomorrow
you'll see the sun
come shining through for you

Kellie Coffey - I would die for that
I wasn't able to add the song on here, and I've put the lyrics on here before so won't do it again, but it completes my playlist.
