I am a sucker for a well written song. I love and am very jealous of singer/songwriters who can convey events, emotions, and thoughts in music and lyric. I wish I could do that. There is always a song playing in the back of my mind. Sometimes it's an annoying ear worm that I hear and gets stuck in there. Sometimes it's a commercial's jingle. Sometimes it's a nursery rhyme or kids song I've played for Noah. Most often, it's just a favorite song that I relate to at the moment; something that brings me comfort, or maybe a laugh. I think I'd like to share some favorites here on the blog from time to time.
Today I've had a song by Eric Church in my head. It's called, "Those I've Loved." The lyrics to the bridge of this one speak very true to me today.
. . . and I hope they know,
I never would've made it this far on my own
Where would we all be without those
Fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers
The friends I've made, the long lost lovers
I wouldn't be who I am today
If not for those I've loved along the way
I know I wouldn't be who I am without those I've loved and those who've loved me. I'm grateful for both.
By the way, if you ever have the chance to see Eric Church in concert, I highly recommend it. Good times - such an amazing show!!!!
