I actually sorta know the sister of the girl who wrote/sings this song! She was in our ward...and I taught her daughter in Primary, but they moved to Utah ~ though I so briefly knew her...I loved her comments in Relief Society and her daughter was so sweet. This song is so touching...and inspiring: it is called, She put the music in me. I think it is literal, as Calee the singer is a beautiful singer...but it is soo much more than that. It doesn't hurt that the lyrics are put together genius-ly! How did she write a song that includes messages from several primary songs...and nail the message/meaning perfectly? When I hear the lyrics together...that is exactly how I feel about those songs...and bringing them together in this song makes all of them more complete. It's how I feel about my mom and how I hope my boys feel about me.
So I am linking this for my mom...Happy Mother's Day Mom! I think of you when I listen to this.
While I'm not a soloist, I love music and music touches me...you gave that to me. You gave me love, confidence, love for life, happiness, toughness, perseverance and faith. These are just some of the important things you gave me. Thank you for being my mom.
You put the Music in Me.
Happy Mother's Day Mom!
