girl singing song lyric quote

Let’s talk about those song lyrics that resonate with us. The ones that take us back to a specific moment in our life and awaken a particular emotion in us, as if the singer had penetrated our soul to understand us like no other and was only speaking to us!

Song lyrics that have this effect are no longer just words that have been put together to create something pretty.

  • They’re slogans we repeat to motivate us and encourage us to give it the best we’ve got.
  • They’re moods that surprise us to remind us of the good times of the past.
  • They’re phrases we’ve shared with friends in moments out of time.

In fact, these song lyrics become moments of our lives.

They have such an influence that they deserve to be incorporated into your yearbook. Imagine flipping through it in a few years’ time and finding these lines… They’ll take you right back to a few years ago and revive emotions and memories you may have forgotten.

So, put together this yearbook and imagine it as a platinum record that will rock your world forever!
