I often say that I wish I had a soundtrack to my life. I would love to have appropriate and poignant music playing during sad moments, crazy, upbeat music playing during the fun moments…you know, just like you would hear in a movie. So far I’ve had that happen twice. One time was at my wedding and the other time was with Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle”.
For reasons that I cannot explain, “The Middle” has been on the radio at very important and specific moments in my life. It came on after I was hired after a stint of unemployment. It came on after a therapy appointment. It came on last week after I finally decided that maybe I might be able to make a little bit of money from blogging. I have no idea why but I think that the song is trying to tell me something.
So I’m sharing it with you for today’s Money Tune. Because right now, that’s where I am. The middle. And I hope I don’t go squish like grape.

[…] “If You’re Going Through Hell” helped as did Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle“. Â And strangely, so did Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds”. Now, I have a […]
This song also was played during a very important time of my life as well. I was driving home from the hospital with my family with a brand new baby girl – my daughter Tori. I was thinking to myself how hard it had been to be a parent to one child and wondering if I had it in me to give the same amount of love, affection and attention to two….and on the radio popped this song.
Maybe we really are musical twins?? 🙂

I think that maybe we are. Which is cool because I’ve always wanted a twin!
I love how powerful songs are. They can always express emotion when I’m having trouble doing it.
Music is so powerful. We attach events and emotions to familiar sounds and each can evoke memories of the other. I’m about to play this song for the first time!

Der, I’ve heard this hundreds of times….just never knew the name.

I hate when that happens! But I’m glad that you know the name now!
I love this feature on your blog. I also liked this song but didn’t know the title.
P.S. Thank goodness it’s not the norm to walk around in underwear – I really don’t want to see that much of most people. 🙂

Thanks, Kay Lynn! It’s probably my favorite feature to write. I love being able to share music and money.
I totally agree with you. Most people should not walk around in just underwear. But for some people it should be a requirement. Like Bradley Cooper. That would be acceptable.
