    “Rock of ages cleave for me/Let me hide myself in thee”. Beautiful. I have a hard time not tearing up on that one.

      Yeah those lines really hit me. And it reminds me of a former love of mine It makes me wonder if it is the memory of her as a person or the memory of having been such a beautiful loving union together that brings me the tears. It's almost as if I was missing her or just a feeling of nostalgy. Otherwise I dont think about her. But a song reminded me of this song.

      @@MrJibbletz It's from a Christian hymn from the 1700s. But I'll be damned if I know what they were referring to in the hymn. Maybe someone more familiar with Christianity knows? Beautiful though.

    I am blown away, yet again. Friends, KEXP, NPR Tiny Desk, and Amoeba Records 'What's in my Bag' are an endless source of inspiration. The internet doesn't always suck.

    Delta mama and a Nickajack man
    Raised their Cumberland daughter in a Tennessee band
    Played Springwater and Station Inn
    Couldn't play fast, couldn't fit in
    Caught a '66 Dodge to Caroline
    Got her education on her mama's dime
    She was singin' in a bar called Comatose
    Halfway rusted on the salty coast
    Rock of ages, cleave for me
    Let me hide myself in thee
    Buried in the sand
    500 miles from Birmingham
    Well, Rockamount cowboy in a rock and roll band
    Plugged his amplifier in all across the land
    Athens, Georgia on a Friday night
    Saw that little girl, she could sing alright
    Spent five years going from town to town
    Waitin' on that little girl to come around
    Caught in the arms of New York City
    To lose that gal seemed a terrible pity
    Rock of ages, cleave for me
    Let my heart forget of thee
    Why do you demand
    Calling me from Birmingham
    Pulled her covered wagon off the BQE
    Said, "This'll be the last you'll ever see of me"
    Well, the cowboy laughed said, "I know it's not true
    'Cause there's nothing I could do to get a'loose from you"
    Made a little money playing in the bars
    With two beat up drums and two old guitars
    From the Crescent City to the Great Salt Lake
    It ain't what you got, it's what you make
    When the road got rough and the wheels all broke
    Couldn't take more than we could tow
    Making something out of nothing with a scratch and a hope
    Two old guitars like a shovel and a rope
    Rock of ages, cleave for me
    Let me hide myself in thee
    Now I understand
    On better terms since Birmingham

      I’m crying like a damn baby right now. I don’t understand it. Every so often, I’ll hear a song and I’ll have an overwhelmingly emotional response to it. Even happy, upbeat songs. It still catches me off guard, even though I try to anticipate it. 😪
