Post 22: The Beauty in a Song

A song that is full of a beauty and is one of my favorites is "Holdin' Her" by Chris Janson. The song is based on the day his life changed when he met his wife. The lyrics are simply beautiful because in the beginning of the song he sings, "...I couldn't remember, who was lyin' next to me, or even how I got there" but explains how he spotted his future wife and sings, "she stole my heart, and I started walking down a new road" which is a beautiful change for his life because his life was not going into the right direction, but she changed that for him and made him the better man that he is today. In the chorus of the song, he sings:

When I'm holdin' her, 

It's like peace on earth

Where time stands still, 

Love's the only thing, 

Yeah, that I feel 

When she's in my arms, 

No matter where we are 

I feel right at home, 

When I'm holdin' her 

The chorus in this song is probably the best explanation of beauty because it explains how his wife makes him feel, and how she makes his world feel. He feels at peace and feels that nothing else in the world matters at that moment, except for her. The way he describes this feeling through the lyrics just proves to any listeners how strong his feelings are for her, and how amazing the love is between the two of them. In the second verse, he sings about how his first little girl was born and how his world completely changed when she was brought into it. He ties the lyrics he used to describe his meeting his wife with the feeling he had when he first laid eyes on his baby girl, and sings "I became a brand new man". The beauty in this lies not only within the love he shares with his wife, but also the love he shares for his children. He explains through his song that his life was completely changed and he became more humble and a better man because of his wife walking into his life at the perfect time, and also the creation of his baby girl. Through this song, you can tell that Chris Janson loves and cares about his family more than anything, and his love for them will only grow stronger, and there is nothing more beautiful than love.
