It took a long time for this song to grow on me. The first 10 or so times I heard it, I couldn’t stand it. In fact, I couldn’t even make it through the whole song. Not just because it’s country; it’s because it was annoying. Then I stopped and forced myself to listen to it in its entirety. And you know what? It’s a pretty decent song.
What I like about it the most is that it’s made me think of what I would do if I had nothing left. Being the planner that I am, I’ve never really thought about the worst case scenario. So I’ve started asking myself questions: If I was on the verge of losing everything, how would I handle it? What would be my next step? How would I earn money? Where would I live? Would I be successful and finally have the push I need to go after my dream? Would I come out on the other side a better person? Who would support me and my family?
So. Many. Questions.
I like to think that the outcome of my worst case scenario would be a positive one (even if it meant moving in with my parents). There are so many people who’ve had their backs up against a wall and are blindingly successful now. I hope that I’d be one of them. At the very least, I hope that having nothing left would give me incentive to try really, really hard at what I believe I’m meant to do (of course, I’d need others to agree with me in order to, you know, earn money). Even if I fail, at least I’ve tried.
(And yes, for those keeping score at home, that is a bit of foreshadowing.)
I get that maybe this song made me think about things it didn’t intend to, but that’s what I love about music. It means something different to everyone.

I love analyzing the lyrics of a song. When I can identify with one or if one makes me think, I tend to like it a lot more.
Also – with all the successful people, I’ve always thought to myself that everyone has had a time when they’ve been at rock bottom. If you don’t fail, how can you truly appreciate success or yearn for it? That’s my theory anyway and I hope to become one of those people too.
I LOVE YOUR NEW DESIGN!!!!!!!!!!

I HEART Tim McGraw and Country music. It’s true. I love the thank you for my set of wings to fly away part. Spreading our wings to shine is what we were all designed to do.
“I get that maybe this song made me think about things it didn’t intend to, but that’s what I love about music. It means something different to everyone.” This is my favorite thing about music too 🙂
