"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." Bob Marley

"I'm tired this game, I'm tired of this race, I'm tired of these chains that bind me.  I wanna be free, free to let go, let all that is good inspire me. And I... I keep running on empty, thinking maybe i'll see a sign..."

It never ceases to amaze me how a song can say all that is in your heart, as if the song writer has a stethoscope to it and is listening in, translating its every beat in to a completely different kind of magic.  But then we are all human and though it feels like we are alone in the way we are feeling we never truly are... you just have to find those songs that say what you feel and hold them close!  Those lyrics are from the song "Amen" by Sarah Slean, a rather incredible Canadian talent (she is also married to Royal Wood who I posted a song by a month or so ago).  She has an air of theatrics about her but it is well balanced out by a powerful, beautiful voice and poetic, song writing ability that leaves me a little envious!
