Show & Tell - Maria Zouroudis

I know I don't normally go four days without posting these days, but I've been feeling a little depressed. My family arrived in 0rlando Tuesday, as expected. Unfortunately, also as expected, A is not with them. I miss my big baby girl. It's amazing how much a child I did not birth can have my heart by the strings like this.

As I've said before, music is about as much of as antidepressant to me as blogging is. The great thing about music is that there is always a song you swear was written just for you, for the moment you're in, for the emotions you're feeling. It can be a love song, break up song, a song about your family, a spiritual song, or whatever else you need at the time.

I'm not much a Miley Cyrus fan, partially because I feel like I'm too old to be listening to her music, but I really enjoyed her song The Climb. I was even more excited to find out Maria Zouroudis has done a cover.

For Show and Tell today, I am sharing the song that's helping me get through this rough time, the climb.






The struggles I'm facing
The chances I'm taking
Sometimes might knock me down
But no, I'm not breaking

I may not know it
But these are the moments that
I'm gonna remember most, yeah
Just gotta keep going

And I, I got to be strong
Just keep pushing on

'Cause there's always gonna be another mountain
I'm always gonna wanna make it move
Always gonna be a uphill battle
Sometimes I'm gonna have to lose

Ain't about how fast I get there
Ain't about what's waiting on the other side
It's the climb, yeah!




You can also find Maria on YouTube, MySpace, and she's even on Twitter! When she gets all famous on us, I'll be able to say I knew her before she was famous AND she wished me a happy birthday!



Don't forget to see what the rest of the class is sharing.

I'm not a huge fan of Miley Cyrus, but I love Maria's voice! Her version is much better IMHO :).

I use music as an antidepressant too, and as a stress reliever at work. When I feel myself getting tense and angry at my boss, I put on my Enya Pandora channel :). Calms me right down.

That's a great song! I'm sorry you're missing A and she can't be with you. I truly am. It's a shitty situation!

I love this song, and that version is great. I've thought that if Reba did it, it would sound better than Miley.

I have never heard that song with Maria, I will definitely have to listen! I loved the song anyways though even if it was by Miley- the meaning and the words and how it all makes so much sense...

Music is a big time antidepressant for me... well, that and with my meds, haha! :)

Luff u!
