Songs

Somewhere Over the Rainbow
-originally a song made for the movie, "The Wizard of Oz."
-over the years it has been sung by many different artists.
-This song is about getting out of a town where you've been your whole life and into somewhere beyond  one's imagination.

Life in a Northern Town
-originally sung by Dream Academy
-later it was sung by Sugarland, Little Big Town, and Jake Owen
-This song has a hidden meaning to it.  Dream Academy wrote it in memory of Nick Drake, a songwriter who died in 1974 of possible suicide.  Nick Drake never 'waved goodbye', and he never knew how successful he'd be some 30 years later, but he influenced a lot of musicians.

Life is a Highway
-originally sung by Tom Cochren
-later Rascal Flatts sang it and it was made famous for the soundtrack from the movie, "Cars."
-This song is about life in general and how it has its twists and turns, and its ups and downs.  Life is a long journey, we never know what will happen next, just like a highway goes on and on and we never know what will be around the next corner.
