"I Hope You Find It"

I'm one of those writers who cannot write a blog, or anything non-music related, without listening to music in the process.  There is something about music that makes me feel 'free.'  It sounds crazy but it's the 'lets bare our heart and soul to the people who do not read this blog' way of getting 'it' out.

It's amazing how, as a person, you could stand in a room filled with hundreds or a few and know that there is something that makes you feel different.  You can't put into words what 'it' is but you just know.  Some people spend their whole lives trying to find it, that one spark that makes them ride lightning, well, I am fortunate enough that it found me.  It's just a natural feeling, for me at least, of knowing who you are, where you stand, and what you're supposed to do in this crazy life.  Well for me this is just part of 'it.'  Music and getting into someone's heart through a lyric and a melody is lightning I'm trying to ride.  But for all of you who have yet to feel what I feel, "I Hope You Find It."

If you ask me what my favorite book or story is, I will instantly say "The Last Song."  Nicholas Sparks is, undoubtedly, my favorite author.  That story and movie just changed me somehow, I dom't know how but I knew I felt like so much more of a deeper person after reading and watching that story.  The movie was incredible, but if I didn't read the book before hand, I would've never appreciated the depth of the story that was only partially put in the movie.  Well this song was the credit roll song and it stuck with me.  Go ahead, tell me how I have lost my musical integrity...but first listen to this song, really listen.  Then, you can yell at me.  And how fitting is it that Jeffrey Steele wrote this song.

Song: "I Hope You Find It"

These clouds aren't going nowhere, baby
Rain keeps coming down
I just thought I'd try to call you, baby
For you got too far outta town
And I hope that you get this message that I'm leaving for you
'Cause I hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to

And I hope you find it,
What you're looking for
And I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
And I hope you find it

Am I supposed to hang around and wait forever?
Last words that I said
But that was nothing but a broken heart talkin', baby
You know that's not what I meant
Call me up, let me know that you got this message that I'm leaving for you
'Cause I hate that you left without hearing the words that I needed you to

And I hope you find it,
What you're looking for
And I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy, wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
And I hope you find it
Whatever it is out there that you were missing here

And I hope you find it,
What you're looking you
And I hope it's everything you dreamed your life could be
And so much more

And I hope you're happy wherever you are
I wanted you to know that
And nothing's gonna change that
No, no, no
And I hope you find it
I hope you find it
