My friend John recommended, Free Money by Patti Smith. John was engaged to my sister-in-love, Joy when she was killed in 1984 by a drunk driver.

John writes,

“I hear it as the cry of a young dreamer who wishes for a better life, for herself and her lover.  If only we can “find a ticket, win the lottery…”  She’s not singing about greed – free money means freedom from the grind of never having enough to lead a full life.  She wants to be generous, adventurous: “I’d take that money, buy you things you never had…”  She’s searching for love and meaning and freedom. 

“While it would be several years from first hearing this song until I met Joy, this song could have been an anthem for us while we were dreaming together. 

“‘…our troubles would be gone…'”

A Meet Cute featuring Sade. I love this story. Thank you, Carole!

“Here’s my favorite song that stopped me in my tracks when I first heard it. It reminds me of when I first met my hubby. I was only age 17 & was out watching live music at the Sugar Shack with my roommate Susie. He asked me to dance. Although I was dating two other guys I said yes. Then over the next few months ended up dropping the other two guys to date him exclusively. Later we were married and while birthing our two babies I played Sade in the delivery room.” -Carole

My mom chose this song because it describes how we all sometimes feel — the need to reach beyond our lives and be free. We both adored the movie Yentl and every single song in it. Thanks for sharing your music memories, Mom. ♥

“I chose this gorgeous image because hope feels like the sun, and I’m turning towards it again. I chose this song, “What I’ve Done,” it’s about the need to forgive ourselves before we do ourselves irreparable harm.”

Next Theme: Love Letters

The theme for the next 2 to 4 weeks (depending on responses) will be “Love letters to us based on lyrics from songs we love.” Since that’s too much for a tag, the short version will be #LLL2us (lyric love letters to us). This also (always) depends on whether we get submissions. No matter what, we’ll fit it all in.
