Who knew what the lyrics meant?

It was only a tune.  We fell in love with the melody.  Yes, the words were “cool”.  They somehow fit into our lives.  So we remembered them, the moment, the boyfriend or girlfriend of the time.  And then one day, ages later, the same song plays.  Suddenly….we “get it”.  They weren’t simply words, lyrics to bring the song to the top of Billboard Magazine…they were the guts of the artist.  They were the heart of the matter.  They were the essence of truth brought to the ears of millions through the art of music.  Music that makes us smile and laugh and cry and remember to glow and grow and exist in spite of it all.

When we “get it”, when a songs lyrics finally – eventually hit our tone deaf brains, that is when we trully get in touch with who we are and why we loved the song in the first place.  Some songs take decades to travel to the gut of why we exist on this earth.  But who cares.  It feels great when we “get it” in a way that fills our soul.
