David Nail should be a superstar right now. This is one of the 10 best songs of the last 10 years
@korydyer82009 ай бұрын
11 years later, this song still captivates me. David Nail is one of the most underappreciated, talented country artists this century. Period. His catalog is filled with nothing but amazing stories and poems that just happen to be songs. They will forever live within the souls of those who are blessed to find him.

Well, damn.... I'm crying now. I love such a variety of music: at times I'll connect with Eminem, sometimes I'll listen to boy bands from the 80s and 90s, old country music like Johnny Cash... then there are times what speaks to me is piano music. I've only recently discovered this artist. He is quite incredible. I recently lost my father and slow songs hit me differently now. This song was so beautiful.

This song is about all songs and how they touch your soul, how they connect you to moments in your life, how you remember things when you hear a song--buried but not forgotten!!!! The sound of a million dreams (songs)!! When they hit you to your soul and you never forget..That's what a true musician does he writes and sings songs wanting us to connect to them. This song should of been No.1 !!!!! Love it David !!

When I found this song, I was going through such a terrible time in my life. An ex that did everything he could to beat me down, physically, emotionally, and mentally. The night I got off of work, I played this song, over and over again. Asking god to help me find the light, to get out of the dark hole I was in. Sitting on that front porch swing, watching the sun set, and balling my eyes out. I was lost, alone, confused, and seeking anything that would help. Every time I hear this song, it takes me back to that day. I did get out, and am so proud of myself. Every song takes you back to a time, this song takes me back to when I was lost in this world, and felt I had no one but god.

I know everyone keeps asking what this song is about...But sometimes, a song is so masterfully written, that the song is about YOU. YOUR memories are all that you can think of. YOUR life is what you recall. YOUR emotions are stirred up. It is so powerful, that it isn't about one story... its about my life, and your life, and everyone's. That is what the chorus is saying... he wrote this song because he knows the power of music, and hes hoping that this song hits someone somewhere in the world. And I can tell you that this song is one of the most powerful songs ive ever heard.

This is one of the most talented artist in country music today. For some reason (and some will say that he has issues.....see Oh, Mother and the interview afterwards) he just hasn't broken through AND maintained it. I say that because he was #1 with LET IT RAIN, in 2011 or 12. Nail finally realized his faults and addressed them, but instead of flourishing after his mea culpa, he has sort of just hung around. I'M HERE TO PROMOTE ONE OF THE GREATEST SINGER/SONG WRITERS OF OUR TIME!!! I am here to encourage David Nail to get back out there with new music and stun the music world with your lyrics and your voice. I originally saw you in concert in Baton Rouge, La. way back in 2010. I knew then that you were special. I have followed you ever since. I have faith and look forward to more amazing music. GODSPEED!

For anyone who needs to be told what this means: It's his memories surrounding his formative musical experiences and his experience informs his songwriting. It's about the power of music to "stir up memories" and "cut through the noise" of life to speak to us. Songs are used as a soundtrack during special events, formative experiences. For instance, I cannot hear Creed without thinking about my Junior year in High School. I cannot listen to early 1990s Country (The River, Burn that Bridge, Anymore, So Help Me Girl, Does He Love You, I Swear, In the Heart of a Woman) without thinking about my introduction to country music through my Aunt and her family when she was babysitting me and my brother. I can't hear Sugarland's 2008 Album "Love on the Inside" without thinking about the joy that it brought me in a very dark time in my life. So, if you have ever had a memory triggered by hearing an old song, if you have ever related to the lyrics of a song, if you have ever kissed while a song was on the radio, and if you have ever been healed or felt a spiritual experience from someone's else's song, you know what this song is about. It's self-aware of the importance of music to him, and what it can do to those listening to his hard work.
