I am a huge fan of music and love when I discover songs that relate to my life. While I was waiting to get pregnant, I loved finding songs (and playing them over and over and over) that related to infertility. Sometimes you just need a good cry or a good fist pumping jolt of hope. Here’s a few of my favorites:
Shake It Out – Florance + the Machine (this whole song is amazing)
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself
I like to keep my issues strong
It’s always darkest before the dawn
And I’ve been a fool and I’ve been blind
I can never leave the past behind
I can see no way, I can see no way
I’m always dragging that horse around
And our love is pastured such a mournful sound
Tonight I’m gonna bury that horse in the ground
So I like to keep my issues strong
But it’s always darkest before the dawn
Shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, shake it out, ooh woaaah
Dog Days Are Over – Florance + the Machine
Happiness, it hurt like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink
The dog days are over
It Me With Your Best Shot -Pat Benatar (When you get it a shot a night, you can’t help but sing this song)
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Why Don’t You Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Hit Me With Your Best Shot!
Fire Away!
Fix You – Coldplay (I really despise this band, but damn if this isn’t a great song)
When you try your best, but you don’t succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can’t sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can’t replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
Get it Right Today – Joe Purdy
Oh, I just can’t seem to get it right today
I just can’t seem to get it right today
I guess I’m gonna give up
After the Storm – Mumford and Sons
And there will come a time,
you’ll see, with no more tears.
And love will not break your heart,
but dismiss your fears.
Get over your hill and see
what you find there,
With grace in your heart
and flowers in your hair.
Let Go – Frou Frou
‘Cause it’s all going off without you
Excuse me too busy you’re writing your tragedy
These mishaps
You bubble-wrap
When you’ve no idea what you’re like
So, let go, let go
Jump in
Oh well, what you waiting for?
