So I was listening to my mp3 player on my phone and a song by Garth Brooks called “The Change” came on… (it’s one of very few of his songs I still listen to, I’m more into rock and metal). So, since I love that song naturally I sing it… well everyone I sing it I tear up a little… never fails I can be doing great, get mousy of the way through it and then the feels hit me.
A little back story… Im originally from Oklahoma… the first real tragedy I remember was the Oklahoma City bombing, I still remember seeing the exploded building from the highway as we drove past and watching the media coverage. Garth Brooks dedicated that song and all of its proceeds to the victims and their families of the bombing. The video for the song shows images and clips from the bombing. Beyond that it’s a deep and emotional song anyway, but when you put it all together… it just breaks me, and the feels let loose, and I get emotional for a few minutes.
I’m not really am emotional kind of guy, which probably never helped my relationships with family, friends, etc… but that song gets me every time.
I will say that have kids does soften a man, any man with a heart anyways… your children are the most precious thing in your life. Words haven’t been created to describe what would happen to me if I ever lost my daughter for any reason. But that’s another entry…
Back to the point, that song no matter how hard I try to fight it, gets me… every time…
