So I've been obsessed with looking for songs that accurately describe what I'm feeling throughout this deployment, and I thought I would share some with you. I will add on to this list as I find more.
There are the obvious:
Toby Keith- American Soldier
Reba and Faith Hill- Sleeping with the telephone
SheDaisy- Come Home Soon
3 Doors Down- Here without you, and When I'm gone
Avril Lavigne- When you're gone
Nickelback- Far away
Aerosmith- I don't want to miss a thing
Rich Marx- Right here waiting
Lonestar- I'm already there
The Beatles- All my loving and PS I love you (how did I forget The Beatles? All my loving was sung at our wedding!)
Then here are some mildly more obscure, or not directly related to soldiers:
Miley Cyrus- Stay
Selena Gomez- A year without rain
Kisschasey- Dinosaur
Big and Rich- I pray for you
Christina Perri- Miles
Mike Corrado- Start Saving me
Framing Hanley- alone in this bed
Jaron and Evan- The distance
Josh Turner- The Longer the Waiting
Jo Dee Messina & Tim McGraw- Bring on the rain
Diddy and Dirty Money (or whatever version)- I'm coming home
The Veronicas- Speechless
Fort Miner- where did you go (edited version)
Rachael Yamagata & Ray Lamontagn- duet
Julianne and Derek Hough- Dreaming under the same moon
*I refuse to put scary songs about dying soldiers on this list.. they might be good songs, but not good for this situation at all*
