SONG OF THE WEEK: “Lighten Up”— The bittersweet humoresque of “Lighten Up” is the story of a guy who’s woman left him, his dog died, his cat got sick, he’s sick, his tires were slashed while it’s raining, his job is on the line, and so on.
It’s all a bit overwhelming but the light breaks through. He realizes this, too, shall pass, and there’s a reason for it all as he walks a path of healing, hope, recovery, and strength…
“Anyone who’s worth anything goes through a kind of flame
The only fire that purifies your name
When you feel that doom and darkness have become some kind of crutch
Then all that’s left to do is to lighten up…”
