"A Little Left of Center..."

I've always been a fan of Randy Travis...and this song is just another example of why...Listen here...

I walk in the rain, and I whistle a tune
I talk to the man up there in the moon
I know I may sound like somebody gone insane
I'm a fool about you baby, but my heart can't explain

[Chorus]
It's a little left of center
By Heavenly design
Love gets carried away
And goes wild at times
When Cupid aims his arrow
It's right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart

It leaps like a frog when you touch my hand
It beats like a drum in a marching band
Can't help what it does, I just follow where it leads
How my heart feels about you baby makes perfect sense to me

[Chorus]

When Cupid aims his arrow
It's right on the mark
A little left of center
Just like my crazy heart...

Music is merely another form of poetry...another form of expression. I enjoy music. It always seems to be around when I need it the most, with the perfect song...to lift me out of a bad mood or to remind me why I'm in a good one. While I don't possess the talent for songwriting that others do, I can appreciate a good song when I hear it. This song has always been a favorite of mine, though never more than it is now.

I was single for quite some time...to the point that I began to wonder if I'd ever find someone. Music was always a friend...to wallow with me in my misery...to show me that maybe things weren't as bad as I imagined...or to encourage me that someday, I would find someone. Now, I find myself turning to music as a means of expressing feelings I've never truly experienced...feelings with which I am unfamiliar. I find myself, literally sometimes, whistling a tune...or staring up at the sky...talking to whomever up there might be listening, be it the man in the moon or not...feeling like a fool, yet loving every minute! "A Little Left of Center" is one in a long list of songs that has helped me to say the things I want to say when I have trouble finding the words.

I continue to listen...and each time I do, I hear another song that says everything I'm thinking and feeling...

To those with the knack for songwriting, I say "thank you," on behalf of those of us who need your music. Keep writing, keep singing, keep listening. A world without music would be one devoid of a wonderful form of expression!
