I love music so I have a number of meaningful songs for all sorts of reasons. But my current ''most'' meaningful (and current ringtone on my cell) became my #1 about 4 years ago or so I was going through the absolutely worst and most painful time in my life... I was standing on the peak on a mountain of crap... I was at one of our youth camps as a counselor and our theme song for camp was ''Three Little Birds'' by Bob Marley (a version of ''Don''t Worry, Be Happy''). It just ''fit,'' ya know? Life can suck at times but it will be alright... hope amidst the crap. And it was cool because the kids were there for me like I have been there for them.
Wow, awesome to hear that everything turned out more than alright!Date: 8/15/2007 4:44:13 PM

Sera,
About 17 years ago my cousin, T, fell while hopping an 8'' fence on his way to play basketball; he hit his head and was in a coma for over a week. The doctors told his parents it was hopeless and that they should pull the plug, so to speak. They refused to do so. His older brother brought in a recording of that Bob Marley song and played it repeatedly. He woke up (another of my cousins, G, was visiting T and told him ''you have to wake up so I can kick your a** at a game of basketball'' and T opened his eyes), spent a lot of time in rehab, graduated from a prestigious college with honors, went on to marry and have a family and become quite successful in his career. Pretty amazing for a guy who was never to supposed to be more than a vegetable. That song always makes me think of T and all he''s overcome. Such a champion.
REPEAT CHORUS
