but they say it so well...

I love love love music. My least favorite thing was "World of Music." Mrs. Callahan was the best piano teacher ever. I learned so much from her and really learned to appreciate the creation of music. Unfortunately though Mrs. Callahan made me study "World of Music" and take tests and somehow I got several trophies from something related...obviously didn't make a lasting impression. I do remember studying one of the greatest American composers, Aaron Copeland. Good ol' Aaron said this, "The whole problem can be stated quite simply by asking, 'Is there a meaning to music?' My answer would be,'Yes.' And 'Can you state in so many words what the meaning is?' My answer to that would be, 'No."

I can't listen to music with out thinking of that quote. The Cobalt Season is probably one of like 3 Christian artist that are artists (I am not anti-Christian musician. I am just picky and a little bit of a music snob.) Their lyrics, melody and passion speak volumes. I love this song and want the one, maybe two, other people that read this to enjoy it as well.

Time Will Tell

I took the hard way back this time
Never knowin’ what I’d find
But always wonderin’ what I’d see
Is it you inside of me?

You thought you knew me all along
But with a word I proved you wrong
With a word, your silence fell
It was louder than my yell

And now everything falls louder than before

But on another day, I guess I’d act a different way
And all that I can say is I’m sorry
Time will only tell, I guess we thought we knew that well, but
Time’s a teacher never chosen

You left your longing at my door
No time for trying anymore
I’ve tried so hard, what can I do?
Is it me or is it you?

I couldn’t guess all the unknowns
You were the first place I called home
But this is different than before
A silence I cannot ignore

And as days grow longer, I’m no stronger

But on another day, I guess I’d act a different way
And all that I can say is I’m sorry
Time will only tell, I guess we thought we knew that well, but
Time’s a teacher never chosen

This life’s a different life than I thought it’d be
This world’s a different world than I’d hoped I’d see
This man’s a different man since our family turned to three
It isn’t what I thought, but maybe it’s just me

But on another day…
