New Music

Some might say I’m ridiculous

Maybe childish

But I shrug it off and keep going where I’m heading

Where am I heading

Toward something good, I believe

One of my favorite things at the moment up my sleeve

Is a new band I discovered

My husband gets on me, says I don’t appreciate music

I always ask him to turn it down

He says I’m not attuned to it

But this new band I like to turn up

The guitars, the keyboards, even saxophones

Maybe a violin in some songs

Lyrics that jive like young ligaments and bones

When a husband and wife share a microphone

An unbreakable bond

It takes me back to that fall I fell in love with my husband – and beyond

Singing of stars, of love, of the final win

How can a melody usher heaven in

I’m swept up, even serenadeted

When I was starting to think I was jaded

I can’t stop playing their tunes

The songs of a bride and groom

Friends too

Am I headed to Tennessee

To see my new band play

It seems they’ve convinced me

New music’s not dead

I’m running to it, my version of dancing

The tunes carry on in my head

My husband likes it too

We listen to it together, like we were made to do

Just like two kids falling in love
