Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 18 - A song you love but listen to rarely
This is my country's national anthem. I used to sing this everyday when I was in school. I love this song. It always fills me with pride for my country. I rearely hear it now but when I do I always enjoy the special moment.

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 16 - A song that has made you cry
I remember crying as I listened to the lyrics of this song. I could just feel the pain that a mother feels after loosing a child to the violence in the streets.This song just makes me remember that lots of people in life have it way harder than me and they just keep on trying to survive.

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 9 - A song that makes you feel hopeful
My hope comes from strength and confidence. I know that the lord is in charge and that I am here to follow the path he has set for me. I always put my trust and faith in the lord and hope just comes naturally after that.

I honestly could not think of a song that reminds me of my first love. That would be a whole other blog post so I wont go there. For now I will just leave you with a song I hoped would have reminded me of my first love.....

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 5 - A song that is often stuck in your head
This one is my ring tone. Maybe that explains why it is always stuck in my head. Bugle is one of the best lyricists in reggae music right now. "Journeys" sums up my attitude towards life.....
Forward thinking and forward moving....can't let anything hold me back!

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 3 - A song that reminds you of your parent.
My mom loves Beres Hammond. I remember one summer he performed at a free concert in Brooklyn and we got turned away because the concert was packed 3 hours before the concert was scheduled to begin. My mom cried and we ended up staying outside and watching his performance on big screen TV's from outside. Beres has a lot of hits to choose from but this is her favorite because it reminds her of the good old days.

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 2 - A song that reminds you of your most recent ex-boyfriend
This one was a bit hard. Couldn't think of a song that reminded me of him when we were together so I choose the song that reminds me of him now. I get phone calls and texts from time to which I always reply "Too Late".
This one is Junior Reid and Queen Ifrica......
Great song....great lyrics

Blog-a-day Challenge: Day 1 - A song from my childhood
The challenge starts with a song that brings a smile to my face every time I see this video. The outfits look so funny now but back in the days that was top style. I remember that this song came out when I started going to the dance hall Sunday nights at the community center. Everyone would dance the Tatie. Never been a great dancer but I always gave it my all. Those were the good old days when Snagga Puss was on top.....
