Everything that was supposed to happen happened. Acceptance. I think we often see conflicts as really horrible things but, they are wonderful for directing our course. Getting through them, over them or around them shapes and molds us. More than anything, this song is about looking back in gratitude for the conflicts that put me right where I happen to be. Acknowledging that pain is part of the process doesn't mean we have to like it though. Ran out of time and had to do a quick one take recording for you. You'll get the idea though. :)
Had a really sweet experience this past weekend. I had no idea what to expect for my first time at J&Os Cantina but it turned into a beautiful listening room vibe for me and I'm grateful for the experience and for the musicians who were also part of the night. Also, I got to wear what my son refers to as my "jazzy pants" (pictured below). Good times.

Love For You Now
If we could go back to the beginning
Would you change a thing
Knowing we’d have a different ending
I guess it only matters if and when
Someone could rewind us back to then
The best and worst of us
in equal measure
It’s what we get for putting
all our separate parts together
breaking up our hearts
to make some space
leaving all our pieces out of place
I got nothing for the pain
No, I’m just waiting it out
I got nothing but a prayer
for perfect timing
and love for you now, love for you now
Time and time again,
so much for learning
It’s like we’re meant to
play this on repeat , the tables turning
Funny how we play the way we do
Either hurting me or hurting you
I got nothing for the pain
No, I’m just waiting it out
I got nothing but a prayer
for perfect timing
and love for you now, love for you now
and love for you now, now, now, now ,now
I just wish the rest of us
would hurry, hurry
I just wish the rest of us
would hurry, hurry
I just wish the rest of us
would hurry, hurry
Are we still hurting?
I got nothing for the pain
No, I’m just waiting it out
I got nothing but a prayer
for perfect timing
and love for you now,
love for you now, now, now, now , now
I got nothing but love
I got nothing but love
I got nothing but love
for you, for you now
Now, now, now , now, now, now
