The music SPEAKS to me...

I love how music can speak so much truth into ones life. I know there are songs that have made more of an impact on me, but this song just struck me as one that is so TRUE. I started listening to The Rocket Summer about two years ago when my little sister invited me to a concert with her (I jump at any opportunity to spend time with my family). I really like the message that Bryce has in his music, and LOVE the fact that he is WORSHIPING in crowds of children (and adults) who have NO idea what's going on :)
All the songs he has written are so uplifting and positive I am glad there is a role model out there for the young generation who is TRULY good. Anyway, the song that touched me today is Run to You which goes like this:

turn look, look out and see
do you see me?
cause i think i see you
i have been some other place
the wind that i chase it all
just leads back to you

or how i'm still, so still..
its so far and
still i've ran
i knew you
when i was young
but where am i now?
that i am a man

run to you
i will run i will run
i will move right on through
all these things that i have done
and you'll take me back
i dont know why
i wanna say i'll never do it again
but i cant, but i will try


turn look look out and see
do you see me?
cause i see think i see you
i have been some other place
the wind that i chase it all it just leads back to you
oh how i miss, what you miss
but i will fall time and again
and i will say that im true to you
but i'm a cheat
i don't understand

so i'll run to you
i will run i will run
i will move right on through
all these things that i have done
and you'll take me back
i don't know why
i wanna say i'll never do it again
but i can't
i wanna i'll never do it again
but i can't
but i will try



I think its just a beautiful, honest, statement about where he has been and where he wants to be. He is an impressive young man. I have now seen him in concert three times and each time I am more and more impressed with him. He is a young 20-something who is married to his high school sweetheart. They tour together, and he LOVES her, and she him; you can tell by the way they look at each other. It is truly beautiful. All that to say I like The Rocket Summer. And, I will try, that's all I can do, wake up every day and TRY!
