I listen to a lot of music and a lot of different types of music. Sometimes, I am more aware of the lyrics than others and find it amusing that after listening to a certain song for over five years, one day the meaning behind the song will have a direct impact on my life on that very day.

That is the power of music.

It is for that very reason that I have made my living as a songwriter. The ability to tell your story through a song that will reach a total stranger on level that makes them weep, laugh, give them comfort — that feeling is unmatchable. I love songs that I listen to and think, "Well at least I'm not alone in feeling this way!"

Music can be inspiring. It can lift your spirits or capture a moment so well that the song can become "your song." Many couples find artists and songs that encompass feelings within their relationship.

So, FWW readers, what inspires you?
