That song...

It is pretty hard to find just one song or album that changed your perspective on life. Throughout high school there were a ton of songs that I could relate to, mostly because of the changes that take place as you get older. College, same story. As you grow, you find different songs that help you understand what you are going through. Recently I have found a few songs that make complete sense and somehow repeat what people in my life have been telling me ever since I can remember.

Missy Higgin's "Steer" and Lady Antebellum's "I Was Here" are great songs that make you take a step back and look at your life. The main line in the song "Steer" that really got me to pay attention was, "so now you finally know that you control where you go, you can steer." Since I am graduating in less than two months, this is a big deal for me. I am just now figuring out exactly what I want to do after graduation, and this song helps me relate to getting everything together to get me where I want to go. Lady Antebellum's "I Was Here" is a very inspirational song starting in the very first line of the chorus, "I want to do something that matters." The whole song is about leaving a mark in the world and proving people wrong if they say you cannot do something. It made me start to think about what I want to do with my life. I'm just now getting to the point where I know what I want to do. I still have a few things to think about, but I'm getting there. These two songs are just recent songs (in the past year) that have changed my perspective on life. If I had hours to sit and go through every song I know, there would be a ton that have changed my outlook on things since I was a kid.
