A meaningful song with some meaningful lyrics....

Ever have a song in your life that seems to be your best friend and constant companion through life long trials and tribulations? Just when you may have forgotten about it, something in life happens that makes you pop the song back on just like your favorite old reliable comfy hoodie or your Moms blanket she gave you....

This song has been to hell and back with me...and yet ironically, today, however many years later, the words ring more true and make more sense to me now, than they ever did....

Thank god for music. Thank god for family. Thank god for beautiful daughters. Thank god for secret angel friends. 

You’re toast and jam
And you’re cotton candy
You’re double rainbows
Beside a setting sun
You’re wood burnin’ outside
There’s a fire growin’
You’re sweet as green apples
You must be the one

You bring me to the heart of a golden man
You bring me to the natural truth
You take me to a solid hollow
And keep me sailing this ocean of youth

So take me to an altar of diamonds
And run with me through sheets of jungle rain
Show me all your manly mystery
And let me heal your beautiful pain

Be my island
In crowds of faces
My oasis
Be there

Lead me to the holy water
Introduce me to the place you are from
Wherever you go you know I will follow
So take me there and I will come 



-Chantal Kreviazuk

I once Sat down and interviewed Chantal Kreviazuk many years back when I was a student news editor in Kamloops. not that far into the interview the ice was broken and we were no longer just an interviewer/interviewee, but we opened and chatted about a lot of personal things. In fact we chatted so much, her tour manager had to finally walk into the tour bus and stop the interview because the show was starting late.
She talked a lot about the love that she has for her Husband and how everything in her life is centered around truth and love.
This was shortly after Colour, Moving and Still was released and I can tell you that if you find her lyrics and music inspirational and meanignfull it's because she is.
