Media of the Week - Get Back Up

There are songs which get caught in your head; those that are not only catchy, but carry a positive message as well. I love these songs...these that cause you to belt out the lyrics (the parts that you know) at the top of your lungs, and take a painful stab at the rest. These are the type of songs that when they end, you skip back to the beginning to sing them all over again.

Yeah, you know the songs I'm talkin' about...

This afternoon I drove along the mountain valleys as the golden California sun dipped away beyond the horizon. The crystaline river next to the road flowed over fall and cataract and the fresh, piney air blew all about me from open windows.

I listened to this song…

More than once.



And by the way, this song is for you. Yeah, YOU know who you are...
