Each week I will feature one song and accompanying painting from my project, Peace or Drama, A Journey Through Music And Art.
In the spotlight this week is Do You Remember.
I woke up this morning thinking about an old friend of mine who I haven’t connected with in quite awhile. It happens. We get busy in our day-to-day lives and don’t always have time to reach out. Sometimes we feel too tired to pick up the phone, even if it’s what we really need to revive us. I’ve had friends call in a state of distress, and by the end of the conversation we’re both laughing and feeling better. This is the beauty of friendship.
I’ve moved a lot in my adult life, and I’d like to believe I’ve got friends far and wide who think of me occasionally and smile. I can feel their good vibes across the miles and I hope they feel the same from me, even if we don’t get to talk all that often.
So here’s a song for the love of old friends!
“Do you remember when we first spoke
Was I a prophet or a joke
All I remember is your smile
The way that it warmed me all the while
But that was long ago
How was I to know
I would whisper in your ear today”
(verse from Do You Remember)
