I can only hope that there is music in your life that reaches a depth of your soul that no human may find capable. If you have not found songs to do that, my friend, you haven't listened enough. There's this one song I keep playing over and over in my head tonight...Jack Johnson's "All At Once." Oh the wealth of memories and emotions nearly overwhelm me.
This song takes me back to learning about the inner workings of a long-time, dear friend. Seeing her playing her guitar (learning to play) on a wooden porch swing in the springtime made me feel so alive and so thankful to see her a beauty so unintentional that I can only stop to admire her for who she is.
This song touches aspects of my life that no other one does. The lyrics carry me away in the present and leave me in hope for the future. The feeling of being overwhelmed to the point that you can't be talked out of it, of reaching through darkness for something familiar, of having promises in your heart that you make that may go a lifetime with being unsaid...
And the acoustic version...just guitar and voice...takes me to a place of peace. If you don't have a song like that in your life, friend, you haven't listened enough.
