I was running this morning and Edwin McCain's song "I'll Be" came on my Ipod. I've loved this song since I first heard it and the reason is not only the haunting melody, but the languishing lyrics.
The few simple words in the very first line make me melt - everytime I hear them. The songwriter blends the perfect combination of vivid description with evocative emotion that forces me to listen and pause. I yearn for someone to say those words to me...aside from ma'am of course.
"The strands in your eyes that color them wonderful, stop me and steal my breath..."
Count me as inspired -- to run, not walk to my own iPod for a quick listen (or 3) of "I'll Be." Truly a mood-altering song. Thanks for the reminder.
