prayer songs

I cannot remember if it is that songs are prayers of the heart or prayers are songs of the heart. My memory is getting senile, this morning my son said that someone was dead. But, they were absolutely not dead. Do I told him that they were not dead and he assured me it was alright, it was just his body, we will see him again. It really was so cute that I wanted to remember it, but I cannot remember who it was. It was someone on tv because I told him that I could just turn on the tv if I wanted to see him.again. He got so excited and thought it was so cool that dead people could still make movies for us. Oh well, the point of the anecdote was to demonstrate how terrible my memory is.

It was decided that no matter how the phrase goes, I tend to write songs when I long to pray about something which is pretty much all of the time. I am going to start Jotting down my prayers Incase I ever meet a famine of songs. There is definately an abundance of songs to write right now. I suppose it is why they used the phrase "my heart sings".

I cannot recall how I came across it, but somewhere, somehow I heard a comment made by Regina Specktor about how she has a vast backlog of song ideas.
