"This is why we sing. Singing allows us safe passage through the
treacherous waters of the soul. Our hopes and fears, our doubts and
our beliefs—these are frightening caves to explore, and even worse to
talk about. But in a song, all matter is fair game."
-Jon Foreman.
How does he do it? How does he find words from the English language and explain this kind of thing? He's talking about how we can sing about really risque topics in a song, and there is minimum controversy. It's fair game. If we were to talk about it, it would get so much hassle. But in a song, you can show others your own heart. In a song, if you can find the words, you are able to pull out a piece of you and give it breath, give it life, give it wings. I can't even begin to explain what singing and writing my own songs means to me, yet here it is, plain and simple words that say it all so perfectly. I didn't think I could be more inspired by Jon Foreman than I already am. Wow.
oh yes oh wow oh i love this!
