Making Our Words Sing

I got my Jonny Lang CD today. I love it. This kid is amazing. I mentioned before I love music. Maybe as much as I love books.

I enjoy some instrumental stuff now and again but mostly I like stuff with lyrics. What can I say? I love words in many forms.


Great, great stuff on this CD. "Give Me Up Again" and "Red Light", the first two songs on the cd, were written by someone who is able to articulate what the rest of us have felt but couldn't put into words. (Probably the rest of the songs are like that too, I just haven't gotten past the first two just yet.) It's no wonder people fall in love by letters, e-mails and phone calls. Words are powerful.

Will I ever write something that someone will want to read over and over like I listen to these songs?

How amazing would that be?
