Loooong.. Blaack. traaaaaainn.

One thing about music is when it hits you, you feel no pain. Actually, you feel relieved, like a load is lifted off your shoulders. Music speaks in a wonderful ways. There could be that one song, or many, that just have those perfect words to it, and it makes you feel like you're finally loved. When I hear that perfect song, I feel like there is someone out there who understands how I feel, or what I'm going through. Music is a great gift, that can give you hope that you didn't know you had left. I've had a struggle the past few days trying to think of a song that makes me feel all these things, and it just got so hard. I finally realized that I need to stop searching, and let it come to me. That's when it came to me. The song that speaks to me like magic, makes me feel powerful and on top of the world, it came to me just like that when I least expected it. Long Black Train, by Josh Turner. It's inspirational to me, because he is saying things about how there are dark things in life, but you don't want to follow those things, you want to be on a good path. Josh Turner says things like those dark things are a train, and the Devil is riding it. But if you follow the good path, the Lord is on that path, and there's victory in Him. "But you know there's victory in the Lord, I say. Victory in the Lord. Cling to the Father and his Holy name, and don't go ridin' on that long black train." It's also like all those things in life are calling your name and it's so tempting, but inside, you know it's the wrong path. "Well, I can hear the whistle from a mile away. It sounds so good but I must stay away." Growing up, my dad, my sisters and I would sing this song together in the car all the time. I love it. :)
