Wednesday’s Confessionals (WeFess) – I’m starting a new string of posts dedicated to “that one song” that reminds us of a certain place, incident, or person that happened in our lives. Every Wednesday, I will post and share a different song with you. I will focus more on the particular song than the overall artist. I’m doing so because unlike my regular posts, not only will I post a song, but I will confess a story (most likely an embarrassing anecdote) to go along with it. Each week will have a new topic and confession. Indeed, our pain will be your entertainment. Also, I apologize in advance for all the randomness that may occur, and please, don’t be frightened by the songs posted on WeFess. They won’t bite. Promise.

WeFess songs are just personal songs that makes us want to dance, sing, laugh, cry, or serves as a perfect soundtrack to a significant event in our lives. (Events we may, or may not want to remember.) I believe that every song that make our gears turn, have a purpose or story behind it. It’s usually a happy reminder of a nice experience, but sometimes it’s like a bad Christmas sweater – you want to ditch it, but can’t because it was a gift from someone important to you. And sometimes they’re neither, it could just be a song that is simply comforting or compliments your mood. It’s okay. It’s different for everyone. We don’t see songs as they are, but we see them as we are. What one song may mean to you, may mean something totally different to another person.

By the way, I am definitely interested in what kind of songs you paste and associate to your own experiences. So shoot me an email with the artist’s name, the title of the song, and your story to match it. Remember, it can be about anything. If you catch yourself dancing to it or singing along, or just overwhelmed with an emotion, I assure you that you can think of a time when the song perfectly corresponded to an event or person in your life. So whether it be to something spectacular or something horrifying, I want to hear about it. Let’s confess.

Enjoy.
