Prompt: "A song about starting over"
Selected by Laura
"First Day of My Life"
Bright Eyes
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning, 2005
A throwback to my high school / college emo days (shoutout to my MySpace page), but I continue to love this song through all transitions of life. Short and super sweet, I feel like it can relate to so many new beginnings that most people encounter. When I hear this song in this stage of my life, I immediately reflect on the new beginnings of my children, Layla and Jude, and my constant new beginning as a parent. Even eight years into motherhood, everything continues to be new. In my opinion, Bright Eyes has the perfect voice for a song like this since you can hear the emotion in every word he says. Happy New Year and happy new beginnings!
