Last week, while listening to Music Choice on cable TV, I heard a song that caught my attention. I didn’t recognize the voice. I was so captivated by the song I had to see who the artist was. Well, without saying who it was, as that is too private right now, I had to find out more about the artist and hear more of his music. I discovered several of his songs online and they all touched my soul in a deep place that had never been touched before. They hit an area of my soul that has been lost to me for a very long time. For so long, I’ve kept my inner feelings locked up in a deep, dark dungeon. It’d been so long since I’d visited that place that not only had I lost the key, but I’d lost the directions. I couldn’t even picture what love was like in my mind anymore. I was dead inside – only pain and sorrow existed. A dark shadow, a vague memory of what it was like to loose what once I thought was love. I tried looking for it a couple times throughout the years, but the search was too hard and the desire wasn’t strong enough, so I gave up shortly after the search began. No one ever came along to stir my soul. I’d lost hope. I no longer even bothered searching. So I’d been alone and waiting. Waiting for someone to come along and awaken my spirit. To breath life back into my dead soul, for no life existed there anymore.
Since listening to his songs, I have not been able to get them out of my mind. I found three songs online and listened to them over and over and over. They are captivating for their deep felt sincerity and expressive imagery. They say what every woman wishes a man would feel. We can all relate to the sentiments. Even while listening to other songs on the radio, his songs resonate in my mind. Not just one song, but I bounce from one to the other, each touching a new part of me. The music is simple… no, that’s not the right word… well, it’s brilliant whatever it is. The melodies rock you ever so gently as if being cradled in the security of a lover’s warm embrace. And his voice… pure sincerity… mmmm, like no other.
I’d found his videos online, too. Good videos… for the most part, they support the music. Not like some where you wonder where the hell they came up with that! I could watch those over and over too, except they keep crashing my computer for some reason. Oh well, doesn’t matter. Listening to the music is perfect for me. Although looking at him sure does add… hmmm, well it’s good.
