I've reposted. This one seems to play better.
Matt Brouwer adapted Sheryl Crowe's song to a different thought process. I find it a statement of pure faith and determination. Sunday was a hard day of processing much. When I got in the car to come home, this song came on. Made me cry. Not much of a feat, I know. But it did meet me where I was.
It amazes me what changing a half a dozen words does to the intention of the song. I like Sheryl Crow okay, but the song never really said a lot to me personally until Matt Brouwer redid it. It was a pretty big downer before. I find this, even with it's admission that "things aren't always going to be like you want," to be a song of hope.
ReplyDeletei think the words that always stick out in that song would be "seems like everytime I try to make it right, it all comes down on me." Left up to me......i am a mess.
ReplyDeletewell, it starts and stops...and starts and stops...lol. I have never heard the song but I love his voice.
ReplyDelete"I only come home when I'm all alone" that is so true for me, and really trying to change that the past few years.
