Give me a B and I'll flatten it
Music and song is one of the most powerful mediums. If I could pick something to do for my work, it would be song writer. I love to see someone sit down and pen words and then set those words to music. The combination of the two can stir such emotion. Add to the mix the talent to be able to take words and music and turn them into two and three part harmony . . .I'm all goose bumps just thinking about it.
There is a song by Diamond Rio "One More Day" where the harmony is tremendous. The just of the song is what a man would do if he had one more day with his woman. Fantastic.
"Last night I had a crazy dream.
A wish was granted just for me,
It could be for anything.
I didn't ask for money
or a mansion in Malibu
I simply wished for one more day with you."
"One more day, one more time.
One more sunset maybe I'd be satisfied.
But then again, I know what it would do,
Leave me wishing still for one more day with you."
What a great love song. What wonderful imagery. It takes you to moments in time where you have felt that way but could not put it to words, let alone music.
There is another love song that has caught my attention lately. It is by a christian recording band called "Casting Crowns". This song hit me hard the first time I heard it. It speaks of God reaching out to us. . . and what our response should be. "Who am I"
"Not because of who I am, but because of what you've done.
Not because of what I've done, but because of who you are.
"I am a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow.
A wave tossed in the ocean, a vapor in the wind.
Still you hear me when I'm calling,
Lord you catch me when I'm falling,
And you've told me who I am, I am Yours, I am Yours."
I find it so overwhelming that God reveals Himself to us in our lost condition. In a culture where identity is so important, God tells us who we are. . . we are His.
Love songs. I only want to write one. I don't care if it's heard by many. I just want to be able to once put it out there in such a powerful way.
For now . . .
