When I stumbled on a similar post by beeber@beeber, I loved it. I loved the idea of sharing tunes and music and discovering new gems and people's tastes. A person's choice of music says a lot about their personality. jaynie@jaynie had a similar thing running but she has been unavailable for a while. Also thank you to ablaze@ablaze for igniting this beautiful challenge. My pattern is to share three tunes on a particular subject on any Tuesday I can. I am not much of a music guy, not as much as osarueseosato@osarueseosato, lol; but I do relish every moment I tend to get with every track. Today's subject is songs deep, meaningful, and close to my heart. SHALL WE?!!

Okay I have to inform you guys beforehand, I don't know anything about genres and all, haha, but let's get to it anyways. This is a beautiful song by a Nigerian artiste about his grandma. It hit me every time because the song makes me remember my mother and all the unimaginable sacrifice she has made for the family. She is immobile now with an injury, but she still strives every day to make ends me. I couldn't ask for a better mother. He sings in a local Nigerian Language Yoruba and this makes it all the more beautiful. He is possibly my favorite conscious artist.

You don't have to be a Christian or even religious to be able to appreciate the beautiful and powerful words and meaning embedded in this song. What makes this song even more profound is that Dax, the artiste sang a song Dear God that some would consider blasphemous but it was beautiful; then coming to Child of God was brilliant. A song of immense meaning to humanity. Fun fact, the bloke is Nigerian too.

At some point I was in the seminary and I was completely caught off by the internet, people, calls, etc. This was one of those songs that really kept me up. Not that I was broken or something, lol. No, I wasn't depressed, but It was a song that really made me feel good. A beautiful classic. I decided to delve into Bobby Vinton and all his works and it was magical.

Well, there you have it; random songs I love that are close to my heart for different reasons. Randomly I just go on and listen to them because I feel like it. They are a part of me. Thank you very much for reading this random post. I kinda enjoyed writing and compiling this post. Thanks to beeber@beeber (PS, you're the best, dandays@dandays isn't even close). This challenge was created by ablaze@ablaze (thank you, sir). You can check out this Post to get more info. Till next Tuesday, cheers.
