Over the next few weeks we’re going to blog about why, how, where, etc., we wrote the songs on Life So Far. Here’s the first one.

See the Light

As one friend of ours had some serious health concerns and another we hadn’t seen, went through a public divorce, we looked at our own lives and were disappointed with the loss we had experienced from bad choices as well as some things that had happened out of our control and we felt moved to write about it.

What is it about human nature which keeps us from making changes in our lives until we have the rug pulled out from under us or hit the wall and find our lives in shambles? Is it complacency, or thinking that we can bounce bullets off our chest like Superman? These are complicated questions that don’t necessarily have a “one size fits all” answer. We all make choices in our lives that take us down different paths and sometimes, circumstances just head us in unplanned directions. This is one of those paradoxes that we all face from time to time.

I’ve always believed that learning life’s lessons the easy way, that is, from seeing other people’s mistakes and avoiding them, is the way to live. Unfortunately, that’s not been the way I’ve learned the most; it’s been more bumps and bruises than smooth sailing, as they say. The real test isn’t whether we get out of the consequences of our mistakes without a scratch, but what we do and learn through the consequences. It’s learning that mistakes can be the places and times where we find out what didn’t work and we at the least, aren’t deceived by living in denial of something true about who we are and how life works.

If we, can learn this lesson, we truly will See The Light. Go over to the BlissBliss Store and download the song or full project or buy a CD, if this inspired you!
