Songs that speak to you ...

 

Every now and then I hear a song that speaks to me, and I have to rush out and buy it.  Right then.  It might be something I hear on the radio, or in a club, or at a friend's house.  Something in the music or the lyrics touches me, grabs me, tugs my heart strings, twists my gut.  It's usually by someone I've never heard of before, but by the end of the day I will have played it a hundred times and embedded all its emotional impact into my psyche.

This song has done that to me this week.  My son posted a link on my Facebook page, thinking I would love it, and he was right.  It's a story we are all familiar with.  We've probably all been there.  But I love the fact that it includes a riposte.  Watch it to the end.  And cry a little.
