I would like to tel you I thought the Self Love Challenge put together by Pam was hard and it is hard but so is the Song of the Day Challenge. I am having to really think to find songs to share.
Like this morning which is Day 19 Song of the Day Challenge: A Song That Makes You Think About Life. Is there a song that makes you think about your life? If so which song and why?
For me I couldn’t decide what I wanted to share and then I came to the conclusion this challenge didn’t have to be ROCKET SCIENCE I just needed to follow my heart.
For me “A Song That Makes Me Think About Life TIM MCGRAW – LIVE LIKE YOU WERE DYING LYRICS. I believe everyone should do this and for me I would love riding a bull named Fu Man Chu how about you?
The Depth of the Track
Lyrically, the song takes listeners through the story of a man in his early forties who finds out that his father is dying. After worrying about x-rays and his time left, the man’s father responds by living life to its fullest by skydiving, mountain climbing, finding forgiveness and loving deeper.
The lyrics turn to self-reflection with McGraw singing that taking the time to absorb the moments spent with loved ones and pursuing the fun and ambitious things his father wanted also fulfilled him.
“Live Like You Were Dying” was written by Tim Nichols, who has also written for Faith Hill and Alan Jackson, and Craig Wiseman, an accomplished writer in the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. McGraw probably easily connected with the words the pair had written since his father, Tug McGraw, passed away in early 2004 after a battle with cancer.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
