More than Anything

My taste in music is generally pretty edgy. I like some depth. Some raw, live acoustic music. Throw in a raspy voice or deep inflection, some passionate lyrics, and you’ve got me in my happy place.

I have been thinking for a while about what song could embody 2020. It took me by a while, but I arrived at the song ‘Hallelujah’.

It’s been awhile…

That’s the opening line from the title song by Staind. I guess you might not expect a blog like mine to include songs with explicit lyrics.

Love Remains The Same

My entire concept was grounded in human relationships. God seemed like someone who was to be feared and how do you have a relationship with someone like that?

We don’t see crying authentically represented in media, so when we do see someone ‘legit’ crying it’s labeled “ugly crying”.

Am I standing still?

That day my coworkers and I sat in utter disbelief as we watched horrified at the surreal events play out live on the tv screen in our break room.
