Photographs and Memories.

Related to my last post ... (more music recommendations for my dear Maju!) I absolutely adore Jason Reeves. I've loved his music from the time I first heard him singing "Droplets" with Colbie Caillat a few years ago.

This is a good song for when you're missing someone or something and just want to look back at your life before you knew this person. You realize they've changed you in a way that is so profound that you can't imagine yourself not being this way. This song captures the idea that I sort of talked about in my last post: there are reasons for everything that happens in your life. Also, the future holds better memories for you, provided that you keep looking forward and maintain everything that is good in your life.

I hope you enjoy!

I keep your picture by my bed for when I'm feeling sad
And I don't know why I would be:
The way your smile looks so real,
I feel like I could start to understand your grace.


'Cause I have photographs and memories of the times
When you weren't on my mind and I was alone.
And I have poetry and drawings of my life
When you weren't on my side and I didn't know just what is love.
