A Skillet CD (yes, I still listen to and prefer Cd's. I'm that old!) is in the player of our van right now. And because I hate switching CD's if I don't have to, sorting through dozens of them, trying to find one I'm in the mood for... I leave the Skillet one in the player and just keep listening to the same song over and over again (with a few other songs thrown in too): American Noise.
I really like this song.
Anyway, it made me think of the post I wrote about it 5 1/2 years ago on my other blog (wow, time flies!). And after re-reading that post, I decided to print it again, because it stills fits. In fact, there's even more noise in America now - in the world - than there was then. (Anyone else getting sick of it all too?)
So here it is, the previous post on it:
I was driving the other day, and this song began playing from a CD my husband had in the CD player. I had never heard it before, but for some reason, it struck me. I don't know why, but it did. It struck me ... and it stuck with me.
Skillet - American NoiseI don't know ... maybe it's about a sense of hope in the middle of the chaos. The fact that things are going to be rough, but that there is still good there and good can still come out of it all.
It got to me.
I think sometimes we all need a little of that hope and love that cut through the American Noise.
At least, I know I do!
