Driving home Friday night listening to Sirius.
The "DJ" came on and said in somber tones, that a listener had requested the next song in remembrance of a friend that he just lost, a close friend who just died. The DJ said he hoped the song would provide some comfort to him.
It was "High Falls" by The Allman Brothers.
The DJ did not make a big deal about it, did not go off a on a lecture meant to be meaningful. He just said those simple words and played the song.
It meant a lot to me. Really hit home.
That is the power of music. The listener requested a song that meant something to him, that connected him with his friend.
I hope it gave him some comfort.
