The power of music is something isn't it! Just recently Luke Bryan, one of my favorite country artist released a song called 'Build Me a Daddy.' I've said it before and I'll say it again, country music at least in today's world of so called 'music' is the best genre of music. Numerous reasons support my theory and thinking. They can actually sing, play, write and tell the best stories through their music.
They don't need stupid beats, auto-tunes and background noise to make themselves sound good, because, they are good! The power of a good song can really hit ya and for me country music has always managed to do that. Don't get all 'Well all they sing about is trucks, beer and America,' because why yes, there are plenty of songs about that, country music just gets it. They know how to tell the story of love, family & the story of hope.
I've listened to this particular song on repeat since I first heard it almost a week ago and the lyrics are just super powerful and the video is as well. As a father of one, and a second one now just 8 weeks away this song particularly sticks with me and tugs at the old heart strings. With Father's Day this weekend it made it's release and meaning even more powerful. We all have that song that resonates with us and while I have other songs that hold more meaning, this one and the timing with everything going on in the world just feels perfect.
I've been lucky to celebrate a few Father's Days now as an actual Father and there is nothing and I mean nothing better then that. For all the Father's out there it's a feeling you can't describe to others but you know it's there. The moment your child is born, the moment you hold them against you and the first time they just lock eyes with you, it's over! Over in every sense of the word meaning it's unconditional and a love that you'd arguably kill over. Your their protector, guardian and do anything for person and it's a job I wouldn't trade for anything.
That's why this song is special because it's all about a little boy whose lost his Dad and why I still have my father and my son has me, it makes ya think. Life is precious, fragile and unpredictable. This virus I took super seriously, still do, but to see the negligence and flat out disrespect in others during this time just sucks. You may not have anything that matters to you in your pathetic life, but I do. Sorry, I get heated when talking about this. *Trust me I could go on but everyone knows where I stand with this.
The power of a song huh? Circling back, what song makes you think of that special someone, something or connection in life? I'd love to hear about it because after all, it's that song, it's that lyric it's that note that tells a story that no matter what anyone says, is all your own. With everything going on in today's world perhaps today, just turn that song on and for a few minutes just slip away to a better place and time.
