One of the best therapies in the world is cruising around town with your windows down, allowing for the perfect amount of sun to kiss your skin while jamming out to music that takes you to a better place. Whether it's back to your childhood or a memory from an experience that really made you feel alive, music has a magical way of lifting us up and taking us to back to fonder times.

While I could spend hours creating an extensive list of my favorite songs from my childhood, it would never be exhaustive. We all have our favorite lyrics that we belt out when our song comes on, and sometimes those songs will resonate with you for years to come.
