More Musical Memories

Read part 1 here.

The song that kept me company for 13 long days in the hospital, in pre-term labor, with my last son, Hunter is '
When You Love a Woman, by Journey'.

The song Sophie B. Hawkins' 'Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover' that my husband (then new boyfriend) sang in my ear while I drove us to his parents house in upstate New York (We live in Michigan). We had known each other less than two weeks and I helped him re-roof his parents house. Hearing it still gives me chillbumps!


I first heard this song when I was pregnant with my first son, Matthew, in 1989. It followed me through each of my pregnancies. Elton John's 'The Greatest Discovery'.


'Return to Innocence' by Enigma was a song that almost consumed me after the birth and subsequent death of my third son, Alexander, in 1995.

I first heard this song, Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone' right after I lost Alexander, too. It still gives me a lump in my throat. I remember pulling into the driveway of my then mother-in-laws house with this song blaring and me sobbing.

Henry and I danced naked, in his kitchen, to John Denver's '
Annies Song'.
'My Wish' by Rascal Flatts for our kids.

For my incredibly beautiful mother-in-law, Josh Groban and Charlotte Church sing '
The Prayer'.

My song: '
Wildflower' by Skylark.

For Barb: '
Summertime' by none other than Janis Joplin.
