15 years ago I started a new tradition of picking a "SONG OF THE YEAR" for my birthday. The song is a vision of where I have been and a glimpse into where I am heading ... the past years have been:

Kinda Hard - Eric Himan (2004)
Farewell to the Old Me - Dar Williams (2005)
Whole- Casey Stratton (2006)
Phoenix Rising - Dan Paul (2007)
Lessons Learned - Carrie Underwood (2008)
32 Flavors - Ani DiFranco (2009)
Coming around - Christopher Dallman (2010)
Let the Rain - Sara Bareilles (2011)
Stronger - Kelly Clarkson (2012)
I'm Not Your Hero - Tegan & Sara (2013)
Fall Asleep – Jars of Clay (2014)
Elastic Heart – Sia (2015)
Rebel Heart - Madonna (2016)
This year I have started thinking about where I am and where I belong. I realize between work and personal life I have finally found a "Home". In a circular pattern that life is I am seeing Depeche Mode later this year. A friend said this song reminds them of me. So here is my 2017 song:
Depeche Mode - Home
Here is a song from the wrong side of town/
Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound
And it pounds from within and is pinning me down
Here is a page from the emptiest stage/
A cage or the heaviest cross ever made/
A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid
And I thank you for bringing me here/
For showing me home/
For singing these tears/
Finally I've found that I belong here
The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets/
That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet/
Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat
And I thank you for bringing me here/
For showing me home/
For singing these tears/
Finally I've found that I belong
Feels like home/
I should have known/
From my first breath
God send the only true friend I call mine/
Pretend that I'll make amends the next time/
Befriend the glorious end of the line
And I thank you for bringing me here/
For showing me home/
For singing these tears/
Finally I've found that I belong here
I have also set up a playlist on
Spotify....
