I am being forced to pick my top 2 favorite songs!
1. "Imagine" by John Lennon
Everything about this song is so beautiful. The piano part is so simple, yet so pretty. Call me a hippie, but the lyrics are amazing, too. No religion, no countries, no possessions? No war, no hate. What a perfect message. This song embodies idealism at its best and although Lennon was a 'dreamer,' he was certainly not the only one. There is no better way to commemorate him than the word 'Imagine' in Central Park.
2. "Con Te Partiro (Time to Say Goodbye)" - Andrea Bocelli and Sarah Brightman
If I had to imagine what God's voice sounds like, I would say it must sound like Bocelli's or Pavarotti's. I get chills every single time I hear this song. The Italian lyrics sound like poetry coming from his mouth. This song also makes me think of the beautiful fountains outside of the Bellagio. So amazing.
I can't just pick two, so I promise I'll have an update with some others soon.
"Imagine" is definitely one of my all-time favorite songs!
