For What It's Worth

[Regina]

Don't share your opinion at all.
But, I can wax poetic on FWIW.
Okay. First, I like the traveling sound of it. I like songs that make you feel the sense of movement, of going down roads and feeling the wind in your hair. But, this goes a bit beyond that. It also expresses (to me) the tedium of travel. The sense of responsibility to be there (wherever "there" may be), but maybe a certain lack of enthusiasm that once was there and...now...not so much.

BUT, it's also a reflection on a vulnerable time that has passed. It's looking back and embracing all the wonderful things she did in her life because someone simply stood by her during that time.

For me, personally, I've had people (and beings) stand by me and literally help save my life, too. So, when she sings the "you saved my life, I won't forget it" line with that small catch in her voice...something in my gut just kind of turns...in a good way. It's life-affirming, friendship-love-caring affirming and...just plain 456 shades of awesome (IMO).

And, it also makes me want to smack her hands when she does the doofy dance for 4- year olds during a song that means so much to me. But, hey, her song, her dance, her life...(besides, I can look at the video now;-)
