There is so much happening in my life that no one will ever fully know. If you ask me about it, I will lie. If you think you know, you probably do not. But it is there, and it hurts.
I remember the day I first got the new Gnarls Barkley album, The Odd Couple. I was excited, eager, curious. I pressed play and let it ride. When it reached track two, “Who’s Gonna Save My Soul,” I stopped. And I stayed there. For days. I played that one song over and over again. It wrapped itself around me. It did not just speak to me, it understood me.
It made me think about writing. I did not.
It made me think about speaking. I stayed silent.
So I just listened.
Today, someone sent me the video for that very song. And somehow, it moved me all over again. Just like the first time. Maybe even more.
It made me think about writing.
It made me think about speaking.
I will not.
But I will share this with you. Because maybe, without words, you will still hear me.
Who's Gonna Save My Soul
