What song transports you through time?
I used to listen to David Gray when my son was an infant, often times while holding him close and swaying to the music, trying to comfort him during painful colicky moments. Today, whenever I hear a David Gray song, I’m instantly transported back to those special bonding moments with my son. It’s amazing how music can allow us to freely travel through time.
Here’s a newer David Gray song I recently heard on the radio titled, “Back In The World”. I really enjoyed it. His familiar sound caught my attention, and I especially loved the upbeat, soothing rhythm and inspiring lyrics:
“Every day when I open my eyes now
It feels like a Saturday
Taking down from the shelf
All the parts of myself
That I packed away
If it’s love put the joy in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who’s to say how it goes
All I know is
I’m back in the world again
Like the lift of a curse
Got a whole different person
Inside my head
No more trudging around
Stony eyed through the town
Like the living dead no
It’s love that lifts us from the dark
Is it God by another name
Who’s to say how it goes
All I know is
I’m back in the world again
Back in the world again
It’s the only way to be
It’s the only way to be
I’m naked like a tree
It’s the only way to be
I’m naked like a tree
It’s the only way to be
Less than sand on the beach
Staring into the reaches of space and time
I’m singing out words
But the voice that I hear
It seems barely mine
If it’s love put the song in my heart
Is it God by another name
Who’s to say how it goes
All I know is
I’m back in the world again
Who’s to say how it goes
All I know is
I’m back in the world again
Back in the world again
It’s the only way to be
It’s the only way to be
I’m naked like a tree
It’s the only way to be“
