A few years ago, my daughter got a CD player for her birthday. Although she already had an mp3 player, we wanted her to have that cool CD experience that we had when we were younger...lounging in bed, flipping through the CD booklet, listening to music before bed or just because.
Sarah has recently said to me "I wish that you could see before you buy, which CDs have lyrics with them." This very proud mom loved that she wants to spend her money on CDs that she can sing along to and learn what the songs mean.
Sounds so silly, but I'm very glad that she is learning that music is more than about the most popular songs on the radio or having a great beat to dance too...many songs and their lyrics have meanings. Probably won't happen for a few years, but maybe she'll then understand why I love the Goo Goo Dolls and Live (many of their songs were written by their lead singers).
