YOU ALL ROCK -LITERALLY! I LOVE YOUR SELECTIONS AND WILL MIX THEM UP FROM TIME TO TIME SO YOU GET TO HEAR THEM ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
This post is a cry for help! I LOVE music - all kinds! I love soft and inspirational, a little bit of country, a little bit of classic rock, all kinds of classical, and occasionally I hear a new pop song that really catches my ear.
However, I have to admit that I haven't listened to the radio much in the last year and my TV access has been even more limited, so I am FAR removed from all the recent songs taking over the music world and blogoshpere. (and I seem to forgotten any of the great names or song titles I used to remember)
I love my player at the bottom of this page, but (and you know this if you have read any of my lengthy posts) it vascillates between two songs. I adore those songs, especially Lee Ann Womack's as Emma sent it to me in the days after her death. However, I would love to fill my player with gorgeous tributes to all our children in heaven.
So, here is my plea! PLEASE, comment with your suggestion for an appropriate song to add to the player. They don't all have to be "angelic" or sappy, just fitting as we continue to build our bridges between our earthly life and our children's heavenly sprirts. And - as we search our souls for evidence of who we are becoming after the loss of our child.
THANK YOU!!!

So many babylost songs. Seems like they were all written for this purpose sometimes.
Oooo- Thank you! Thank You!!!
Keep em coming if you have 'em. I am going to enjoy putting togeter the playlist!!
Great suggestions here, but I'm wondering if there's a way to set the player to not start playing automatically. I read at work, and if I forget to turn the speakers off I really startle when the music comes on. I also don't want to alert my boss to the fact that I'm reading blogs at work!
