It just isn't right I've been two thousand miles Down a dead-end road

Artist- Faith Hill
Song of the day- Let me let go

Ever since my friend Kelly started randomly singing this in my ear for no reason during class I haven't been able to get it out of my head, mostly because it reminded me of how much I loved this song. And how country music can do many things badly (like writing a patriotic song) but does so many things well like male/female harmonies. Faith Hill and Tim McGraw kind of made it an art form, but it's a lovely country constant and light male vocals like Vince Gil on backup adds this beautiful sensitivity to the melody. And being the type of person that forgives easily but struggles to let go of anything, this song is a constant anthem. I can't tell you the number of times I wanted to be over something, to stop being mad to stop being sad to even stop caring cuz it just takes a toll on you, but you can't do it, it's like it won't let go of you.

How do you do it? then you might ask well, being not great at it I am probably the wrong person. But when I was in high school we had to keep journals and we had to name them. Mine was called "let go and let god" which hindsight is utterly emberressing, kinda hilarious, and well true. And I hate christian cliches because too many people say them which makes them annoying and then almost untrue, but there's a wisdom behind it. It reminds me of being in "missionary school" and how they told us it was important to pray for "a heart for the people" we were going to encounter because if you don't honestly love them just as much as God does then what we say won't matter to them or us. And I thought it was kinda silly till I did it. And only believed it till I felt the difference from just liking people to really having a heart for them is shocking and overwhelming. But I had to ask for it over and over, like when I would first enter the hospital after having a phobia of it for years and praying everyday as I walked in the door that I wouldn't kill anyone and I wouldn't screw up. It took about 9 months later that I actually felt comfortable comfortable without wanting to puke. What does this rant have to do with poor Faith Hill and not being able to let go? It's part of those things we can't carry, and it takes persistence in continually giving them up till one day you keep walking through it without the desire to puke and perhaps with a heart bigger than you expected it could ever get. If you are in need of some letting go that is holding on strong, this one's for you!

I thought it was over, baby
We said our goodbyes
But I can't go a day without your face
Goin' through my mind

In fact, not a single minute
Passes without you in it
Your voice, your touch, memories of your love
Are with me all of the time

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

I talked to you the other day
Looks like you make your escape
You put us behind, no matter how I try
I can't do the same

Let me let go, baby
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know, yeah
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Are you still in my soul
Let me let go

The lights of this strange city are shinin'
But they don't hold no fascination for me
I try to find the bright side, baby
But everywhere I look
Everywhere I turn
You're all I see

Let me, let me let go, baby, won't you
Let me let go
It just isn't right
I've been two thousand miles
Down a dead-end road

Oh, let me let go, darlin', won't you
I just gotta know
If this is for the best
Why are you still in my heart
Yeah, you're still in my soul, let me let go
Let me let go, let me let go
