Free Bird Forever…

Daily writing prompt
What’s your all-time favorite album?

Well now, I haven’t a clue!

Over the years, I’ve drifted through all kinds of music, and I’ve had more “favorites” than I could count. Each one takes me right back to a memory, a place, or even a version of myself I’d nearly forgotten. Music is funny like that, it’s a time machine in disguise.

I can jump from AC/DC to Eminem without blinking, no problem there. What I can’t do is rave music. I mean honestly, is that even music or just a glorified fire alarm with a beat? No thank you.

But if I had to choose one that’s lodged itself in my head, it’s Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Free Bird. I can’t even remember what album it was on first, but I remember how it made me feel: free, defiant, a little rebellious. That’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? Albums and songs aren’t just collections of sound; they’re markers in time. And sometimes, one song is enough to carry you through a lifetime.

  1. For me, it’s Bowie’s “Stage,” which includes a blistering live version of “Heroes.” I wore out my first vinyl, and now have it preserved forever digitally. It would be my “stranded on a desert island” selection. We never forget the music that got us through the darkest of times. 💖

  3. I’m like you, it’s impossible for me to pick a favorite album. I grew up listening to a wide variety of music from Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, to Pat Benatar, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Eagles, Alabama, Fleetwood Mac, and so many others that I could not choose.

    1. Exactly Julie! Music is woven through so many eras of life; it feels impossible to crown just one favorite. Each song holds a different memory, a different version of us. 🧡
