I shared my Spotify Wrapped with my family this week. The first comment was, “Why is Meghan Trainor your top one?”
That’s a fair question. So, I thought I’d explain.
Things got pretty scary when I was in the hospital. Gloria talks about seeing a fear in one of the doctor’s eyes. Multiple organ failure will do that, I suppose. I could sense that something was not right, even if I could not fully appreciate the severity of it all.
Long story short, in that time I had what I’ll call a full-on religious experience. My mind (and spirit) went places while everyone around me tried to attend to me. I woke up from that with the words of my Spotify Wrapped #1 song. It was as if I had written them myself.
(I still have lyrics written somewhere that are pretty close to Michael Jackson’s You Are Not Alone!)
Part of my entire experience brought me to a greater appreciation, recognition, and love for my wife. She was the first person I saw when my eyes opened afterward. I play that song often to remind me of that day.
Now, the rest of the songs, those are different stories. Two of them will probably be played at my funeral.
Stay blessed…john
