I rarely read a post on someone's blog and then immediately post the same thing here. But our pal Steve over at Power Pop shared something today that has really grabbed hold of my head and heart. As Steve put it, "I didn't see this coming down Broadway." Yeah man, neither did I.
This is a new song from Amy Grant, written by Nashville's Sandra Emory Lawrence and released on January 6th. It is stunningly beautiful musically and lyrically, well, you'll figure out why it made my heart hurt.

Sal on an unrelated note, thanks for the nod to Bob. Not everyone's a Deadhead but this weekend was incredibly difficult for those who are.
Bye, Bob! As for the Amy Grant, I was not looking for her to make such a political statement. Good for her and quite a lovely, heartbreaking song.
Agreed. Beautiful and powerful song from a surprising (to me) source.
But I wonder if —like what happened with "Born in the USA"— the riot-loving "patriots" will completely miss the point and hear this as a tribute to their assault.
