We All Need Saving - Jon McLaughlin




It used to be that the songs with deep emotion came from seasoned men of hard lives...women who were rough around the edges with four men of bad marriages behind them. But I listen to the lyrics of my son's songs, the songs of John McLaughlin, Justin Nozuka, James Morrison (maybe it's the J-names???) and they FEEL. They translate it. I feast on it. It's not the age of the body, but perhaps the soul.

    Marty - it's a favorite. Soothes me. Also reminds me that no matter how hard someone's shell, everyone needs compassion.

    Good stuff. Have you put anything of Ben Harper's on your blog yet?

    To answer your comment on "Basil" by Katherine Rauk only being a pre-order, I think it might be available on Amazon by now, but in any event, the wait will be worth it. Her poetry is superb.
