music that matters

So today I'm doing something a little unconventional. Instead of telling a story, I'm asking a question.

The question is not actually inspired by Maia... it was just a great opportunity to share this photo of her playing and singing her little heart out. (Wish I'd had that one on video!) Nor is it inspired by her favourite song of late, "Head and Shoulders, Knees and Toes". (She likes it sung as a lullaby at bedtime. Who would have thought?) Or the fact that she seems to have a particular affinity for the music of Coldplay. (She hasn't figured out how to bob her head to a good beat... instead she shakes her head back and forth with great conviction.)

In fact, if you don't mind, I'd like to wait to tell you what inspired the question. Here it is...

Can you name a song that helped to sustain you through a difficult time? A song that gave a voice to what you were thinking or feeling in a tough season of life, and yet offered you comfort, truth or hope?

If you can and you're willing, click on "comment" below and tell me about it. I'd love to know.
