Now playing on Radio Insane Housewife: You and Me (together we can do anything)

I love music. The list of concerts I have gone to in the past few years reflects my broad spectrum in taste: Hannah Montana, The Jonas Brothers (okay the last two were because of my daughter, but I still really enjoyed the concerts!), Andrea Bocelli, John Schmidt, Bon Jovi, Tina Turner, and Stevie Nicks & Fleetwood Mac.

I feel like music is the soundtrack to my life. The tune playing on the soundtrack (in my head) may change day to day, or even minute by minute, depending on what is happening in my life. The song may be as spiritually uplifting as Josh Groban's "You Raise Me Up", or just as fun and sparkly as Owl City's "Fireflies".

For those of you who have been following the rollercoaster of my life lately, you won’t be surprised to hear what is playing on “Radio Insane Housewife” station (aka, my internal music stream.) During the last few days, Dave Matthew’s Band "You and Me" has been playing non-stop. The song really fits how I feel about overcoming the mental hurdles my family and I have been going through lately. I love the lyrics to this song as well as the music--the more you listen to it, the more you addicted you'll become. I am sharing it in hopes it will also inspire you today. Enjoy! Note: A friend of mine said she couldn't see the "You and Me" video below--probably her computer security software is blocking the link. So, if you cannot see the video here in this post, you can see it on YouTube by clicking on the following link:

Lyrics to You And Me:
Wanna pack your bags, something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yes, yes (x2)

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yes, yes (x2)

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

You and me together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby

We alone to reach the end of the world
