For Blue Skies



People who write songs are like poets with guitars. There is a song called "For Blue Skies" by a band Strays Don't Sleep. Matthew Ryan is the leader of this band and he is one of those poets. A guy who uses lyrics and melody like others use words on a page. To deal with it all. To heal something inside. Sometimes...just to tell a story.
"I forgive you"
A refrain so simple and gentle and at the same time so powerful and inspiring. For you and your world. For me and mine. "I forgive you". Add a few solitary piano keys and it becomes heartbreaking. "I forgive you". Words we've all needed to hear. So thank you to the poets for writing and singing the words we all need to hear.
