As I'm driving down highway 55 jamming out in Charlotte to the tunes of my iPhone, a new song comes on. I glance down at my phone and do not recognize the artist. I then notice at the bottom of the screen it says "single of the week." I then remembered I downloaded it yesterday from iTunes because it was the "single of the week" AND it was FREE!! Free music on iTunes? This is news to me Any way I start listening to the lyrics of this song and it starts to really sink in. You know that moment one has when they connect with poetry, songs, books, people? Well this was that kind of moment. The particular verse that is still resonating within me states the following:
"No money, no house, no car, is like love...
It don't fill you up
It won't build you up
It won't fill you up
It's not love!"
It don't fill you up
It won't build you up
It won't fill you up
It's not love!"
I know there are many songs out there, and I'm sure I could research and find many that I connected with, but for some reason this time in my life, this particular day, this sticks with me. It makes me think about my life and the goals that I've always had for myself; big house, nice car, successful, lake house, etc...but without the fundamental foundation of LOVE I cannot obtain any of those things. Love is at the basis of every human need and function.
Hmmm...food for thought
If you would like to enjoy the song, or view the lyrics, I've included a link to the video here:
