Sunrise
by Ryan Bingham
I made a very interesting observation last week, by chance. A shower epiphany as I like to call them.
When I first met my guy, he introduced me to many of my favorite artists I have today. Ones that spoke to me the loudest during some of my darkest and hardest times.
Ryan Bingham, well when I was first introduced to him… I heard all his upbeat fun songs. And his sound was different, and I was already a fan of his voice from Yellowstone, but was not so fond of his character at first in that show. Lol.
During this time… I had moved. A forced moved but welcomed for the new changes happening in my life.
A long story short… during this time of moving, unpacking. getting settled… a lot of drinking… unpacking more the the song Sunrise was a constant. I laugh at the thought that my kids probably have PTSD from that song… I played it on repeat. Loud. The repeats more while I was drinking.
But I just loved that song. Not for any particular reason. I just did.
It is a song that is in my favorites that is a repeater still, just not to the extent that it was at first. I do recognize… I listened to it a lot.
It just made me feel… good.
Made me want to shake my ass right where I was, and I needed those feel good feelings.
Recently, this song has started making its way across my shuffle more often… with no complaints.
But in the shower the other day, I heard something.
It hit me differently this time.
It wasn't the words.
It was the drum.
It was the rattle.
Once that realization hit me, I couldn't stop thinking about it.
The more I thought about it, the less I could ignore it.
That fucking drum.
Funny how one little realization can send you down a rabbit hole.
Or maybe...
a rain dance.
