It's amazing how music can have such an impact on your soul.

A simple song, or lyric can inspire you to do something great. 

Or it can bring out powerful emotions.  Music has always had a huge
impact on my photographic work.

Today I've been listening to Eric Church, an amazing Country singer.

I had never heard of him until yesterday when a very good friend 

of mine introduced me to his music. All I can say is WOW!

This song, "Over When It's Over" has hit me hard.  I would love to 
share the lyrics with anyone who cares to read my blog.  And this is why....

I've had to say goodbye to a few dear friends of mine over this
past year. And listening to this song brought out a lot of emotions
that I have been holding inside.  
Saying goodbye is never easy.  Especially when you have to say it
to someone close to you.  There are several events in my life that 
I would love to do over, experiences I would love to relive, and 
moments where I have said something that I wish I could take back.
There are also moments where I have wished I had said something, 
and instead I said nothing.  These are the moments that I wish I could
live over. But unfortunately I cannot.  And that is okay.  We live, 
we learn.  I listen to this song and think of those moments where I
wish I had done things differently.  So here is to all the people in my
life who have stepped in and out.  They have all had a huge impact
in my life whether it was good or bad, each and every experience
has taught me some valuable lesson.  And for that I am grateful.
For those dear friends who I have had to say goodbye to, whether
permanently or temporarily, I love you all. And I thank you for 
everything you have done to impact my life.  This is for you.

It's over when it's over
Ain't it, baby, ain't it?
Rips ya like a dagger,
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Dammit, baby, Dammit
We had it in the air, we just couldn't land it


It's the first snap of the last straw,
Where regrets outlast the alcohol
It's a cold sweat, in an empty bed,
And dreams are like a knife,
When you're hanging by a thread
Ain't no "Maybe we can make it if we just play the right cards"


Now it's over when it's over
Ain't it, baby, ain't it?
Rips ya like a dagger,
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Dammit, baby, Dammit
We had it in the air, but just couldn't land it


It's a white flag,
It's a stop sign,
It's the last long drag, on a Marlboro light
It's a long night, beating up the past
Know when the first lie, is gonna hit you back
This ain't no gone for good drill,
Or no goodbye false alarm, it's over


Yeah it's over,
Yeah it's over.


There ain't no better way,
We could make it work
It's a blank page,
When you're outta words
Yeah it's a flat line,
It's a heart attack
Yeah it's too far gone, to be shocked back
It's a one way, with nowhere to turn
It's a no brakes, baby, crash and burn
Ain't no map gonna ever bring us back
From where we are


It's just over when it's over
Ain't it baby, Ain't it
Rip ya like a dagger,
Can't it baby, Can't it
Wish we could do it over
Dammit, baby, Dammit
We had it in the air, and just couldn't land it
