Photograph

Have you ever had those moments in your life where someone has asked you "what is your favorite movie"? Or "what is your favorite book"? Or "what is your favorite thing to eat"? (That one is easy...EVERYTHING). Most of the time I have an answer, most of the time. Maybe it's just me but I always hate when people ask me "what is your favorite song"? Um, really? There are so many good ones to choose from. I like so many different types of music. Which one to pick? Which one to pick? My answer...? "I don't have a favorite song. I like so many". That would be my answer. However...however, as I come to know myself better, I realize now that my answer should have always been, "I don't know. I don't think it has been written yet". Why? I don't know. I do know that I am not so much without a soul to not have one song that can be my favorite. To not have the rhythym and melody and movement and lyrics of the song speak to my soul so deeply that it binds itself with me and becomes "my favorite song". I am not that unfeeling. But perhaps it just had not been written yet. Oh sure, I have songs that I cherish, songs that have moved me to tears, that have me dancing in circles around my house, that take me back to days gone by but no, I would never be able to completely say that any of those songs are my favorite. Now I am just rambling. I know you are all dying to know if that "favorite" song has been written for me yet. And YES I believe it has. Ed Sheeran's "Photograph" is by far my favorite song. I LOVE IT. I Love the simple story it tells. The love it talks about. The hope that it holds within its lyrics. You could send me away with the words of this love song. It is my "FAVORITE" song. So, in conclusion, if you don't know the answer to the "what is your favorite...." question, don't feel dumb if you can't answer it. Perhaps it just doesn't exist yet. Now if only Ed would hire me to write his storylines for his music videos, we could be good friends!
