All my life is like a drive back home Can’t you hear me singing? Can’t you hear me singing? —Bret Alexander “Drive Back Home” Driving home from Harrisburg on Saturday night with my girls. We helped my youngest get settled in her law school apartment down there. Had a nice dinner on the banks of the Susquehanna river. I’ve become a big fan of the city. It’s got a good vibe to it. It has treated our family well.
Great post. Earlier in the summer, I was on my bike for a long ride. I sometimes let the AI DJ on Spotify pick my music in situations like that. Sometimes it's great, sometimes misses the mark. And this song came on that I had never heard. I was mesmerized. Swept up. I was loving the song. When it was nearly over, I swiped my phone on to take a look. "Lover," by Taylor Swift. My Spotify DJ got it right. I have since heard several more (because I pressed that little heart button under the song) and my AI dj often serves up more Taylor Swift, often when I'm not expecting it. Each one has been a pleasant surprise. Its amazing to me. I had never gaven her a chance -- because she was Taylor Swift and that came with preconceived notions from an old white guy like me. But she's the real deal. And she and her crowd can move the earth to the level of a 2.3 magnitude earthquake in Seattle. Gotta be something to that.
I can't name any of her songs but I know she is the real deal. I listened to Dylan Desire again today. The lyrics to Isis and Hurricane explain the Nobel prize.

She is indeed. I suspect she's going to be around for a long time.

Great songs for sure, but actually 2 he had lyrical help with! Co-written with jacques levy
And just before Hurricane was released they had to overdub some of the names so they wouldn't get sued.
I guess I'd ought to give her a listen! She is insanely popular! I'm probably the only person on the planet who has never heard any of her songs! Lol
Saturday was the first time I really took the time to listen hard. She's a killer songwriter.
