Song for Friday...one to meditate on.


This song has been used for many t.v shows and car ads...I've never seen any of them.
I do remember it from the movie 'Away We Go'.
I have been reintroduced to it through my daughter and the playlist she made for me before I left Toronto.
It has been linked to various subjects including war, God, family and love.
When I hear it, I am reminded of a hymn.
Not so much the 'church' kind of hymn...
but one that you turn on while you're driving...
and end up taking the long way home so you can listen to it 3 or 4 times in a row.
It's one of those songs that makes you stop...
in the middle of doing the dishes...
go to the stereo...
turn it way up...
and close your eyes...
and let it take you away...

I love him. A friend of mine used to go see him play a few years ago not far from my neighborhood and I am so bummed I never went! Sigh.

Have you heard his song "All of My Days" ?
It's from "Time Without Consequence." I think you would like that too. :)

I think I will now be having an Alexi weekend!
Thanks! Hope you have a great one!
