Neil Young is probably one of my favorite artists. Not because of his polished sound or his good looks. His words and folksy music really struck a chord (sorry) with me from the first time that my beloved played his music for me. It's the grit, the shaky voice, the raw human imperfection that sinks deep into me. When Owen and I were on the last date before he purposed, he played Such a Woman for me. I'll admit that the song really meant something rather different at the time but it was the soul that came through this man's voice that has continued to draw me to Mr. Young's music. I just happened to hear a live performance tonight, and was reminded of what I feel when I hear him sing and what a sense of loss I will feel when he is no longer here on this earth. I'm melodramatic I know, but as I thought these things about a man that I don't know and have never met, I thought further about the people in my life that I do or have known . Every soul that I have had a relationship with always has and will continue to leave a profound void for me when they are gone. Anyway, if you are reading this and are close with me, I want you to know how much I regard and love you. How much I deeply care for you on a constant basis and always hope and pray for your happiness and well being. So, I invite you to take a moment and click on the hyperlink above on Such a Woman, and think about how awesome you are while you listen.
