81 - On and On We Sing

So here it is.  The final 10.

I'm sure I'm going to love whatever respect I might have...if any...with today's band.

Let me just say up front, it's not Nickelback.

The day is almost gone, so I won't take too long with this one.

Song 81
        "Stand Here with Me" from the album Weathered by Creed

Say what you will about Creed.  But they were pretty popular about 10 years ago.  Or so.  This song may not be the achievement of a career or anything, but there is something basic and pure in the lyrics that I love.

You always reached out to me and helped me believe
All those memories we share
I will cherish every one of them
The truth of it is there's a right way to live
And you showed me
So now you live on in the words of a song
You're a melody

Some memories of friends, and who then encouraged you to be can be brought back to your mind with the music and words of a song like this.  That's what this song does for me.  It reminds me of one of my best friends from high school.  She was a constant friend and encouragement.  Pushing me to become the best version of myself.

Thanks 'Jo.'

I'm still working on that.  Will be for the foreseeable future.

There have been other friends like that over the years too.  So, that's it.  This song makes me think of the friends who have been encouragement and challengers.  You all rock.

grace, peace + hope-Jesse
