I've been listening to an amazing songwriter/singer over the last month called Dave Matthews. You might have heard of him in the Dave Matthews Band. Well, he has majorly inspired me in my own music and songwriting and I just wanted to drop a couple of lines from one of the songs he performs on the "live at radiocity" show. Now this song was not written by Dave, but it is a beautiful song written by Daniel Lanois. The song is called 'The Maker' and if you get a chance to listen to it fully, I highly recommend the album as a whole. So the lyric goes:
'I could not see, for the fog in my eyes,
and I could not feel, for the pain in my life'
The first time I heard the song, it made me cry, and then cry during subsequent listenings. I think more than anything, I love the rawness of the lyric, and the honesty of the ezpression. It reminded me how pain and blindness (not physical) can inhibit us on our adventures through life.
