i'm finding that a LOT of the songs that i've held on to in times of emotional turmoil or confusion are coming back around...
i posted the song "What You Want" by Derek Webb only a month or so ago... and here i am listening to it as i write this, letting it move me as it speaks how i feel. I caught myself saying a line from the song i wrote called "Full Circle" to someone...
lines from 'Baggage Claim,' 'Only Silence,' and 'When I Was Transparent' are jumping back out at me... and i'm wishing i had another show to play!
'it's been some time now since you looked at me
from the inside out
maybe i haven't looked your way
but you surely haven't looked mine
so i might say
you don't know how to trust
and you don't know very much about me
since you won't speak
and you won't even look right through me'
i wrote that over 3 years ago... and it feels like i could write it right now.
i'm thankful for songwriters like Derek Webb and Justin McRoberts whose songs also have a timeless quality to them... they are applicable even WAY after they are written and released, and when i fool myself into thinking i'm alone in how i feel, i've got tangible evidence that broken relationships and the healing Spirit are available to even ME.
