The Music Tag | Bringing back a tag that's literally years old 😆

Today I thought we’d do something fun!! So, I’ve unearthed an old blogging tag to complete! I absolutely adore music, and the last time I did a tag inspired by it, I had so much fun! I found this tag on Nicole Dust's blog here.

Without further ado, let's begin!!!

Rules:

• Write ten songs that come on shuffle (no skipping)-- No promises 😎
• Write your favorite lyric from each song
• Tag some people

1. Haven by Stray Kids

"STEP OUT

Do what you want!"

This song inspires me to keep stepping out and showing up
no matter what!

2. O by Coldplay

"So fly on, ride through

Maybe one day, I'll fly next to you
Fly on, ride through
Maybe one day, I can fly with you
Fly on

Fly on
Fly on"

I found this song through Felix from Stray Kids. It just has a nice,
dreamy, atmospheric feel to it that I love.

3. So I Could Find My Way by Enya

"So let me give this dream to you

Upon another shore

So let me give this dream to you

Each night and evermore"

This song reminds me of the elves of LOTR. I think it's something they
might sing. Most of of the songs I've listened to from Enya feel that way.

4. Place in this World by Michael W. Smith

"A heart that's hopeful

A head that's full of dreams

But this becoming is harder than it seems

Feels like I'm looking for a reason

Roaming through the night to find 

My place in this world

My place in this world

Not a lot to lean on 

I need your light to help me find 

My place in this world

My Place in this world"

I originally found this song through the movie A Week Away back in 2021.
But at the time, I liked the 80s instrumentals of this original version more.

5. Ordinary Miracle by Sarah McLachlan

"It's not that unusual

When everything is beautiful

It's just another ordinary miracle today

...

It seems so exceptional

That things just work out after all

It's just another ordinary miracle today

Sun comes up and shines so bright 

And disappears again at night

It's just another ordinary miracle today"

Sometimes, you just need to be reminded that there's hope and it's a miracle
to simply be alive. <3.

6. Unchangeable Love by Juniper Vale

"Out of sand my heart is shaped

Forming into love or hate

No matter how hard I try, how hard I try

Fear won't flee my fickle mind

I need unchangeable love

A house that's built on the rock

A storm is raging on me

As I'm pulled to the deep

The waves can't move me at all"

I actually associate this song with Naksu from Netflix's Alchemy of Souls.
I think it fits her arc spanning both seasons.

7. The Moment of Truth by Survivor

"Once in your life you make a choice

Ready to risk it all

Deep in your soul you hear a voice

Answering to the call

Though you know that it won't be easy

It's a promise you make for love

For the people that keep believing

And the one that you're thinking of"

This song is left over from my Karate Kid obsession back in 2021! 😆

8. Tomorrow by Andrew Ripp

"Stuck in a day that's gray and lonely

Just stick out my chin, grin, and say

The sun will come out tomorrow

Just gotta hang on until tomorrow come what may"

A more melancholy, mature sounding version of the song from Annie. 

9. Blueprint by Stray Kids

"The answers the world has given me are wrong

...

My future is bright

The excitement surrounds me

I hope I will shine

Never never never let go

My future is bright

The excitement surrounds me

I hope I will shine

Never never never let go

My future is bright"

This song came out during the summer of 2020, and I think I would
have LOVED it had I discovered it then. Regardless, it still encourages me today,
here in 2025.

10. Only Hope by Switchfoot

"I give you my apathy

I'm giving you all of me

I want your symphony singing in all that I am

At the top of my lungs

I'm giving it back

And I lay my head back down"

Love this song a lot! Reminds me of simpler times.
