Okay today's song is about friendship; I have had a whirl wind week recently with the charity that I am involved with and the message of everything that we are doing is about being there for people and giving some the time and space to them to be themselves. Being able to give someone the space to be themselves is probably the greatest gift you can offer someone. I know because I have so many good friends around me that allow me to be myself that sometimes I just want to give them a whole hug to say thank you for being there. Also this week, both sides of my family are having to say goodbye to people from their lives and funerals always make you thank you for who you have around you and also thankful for the ones who have past away because true friends always leave a footprint in your heart which will leave an impression on your life forever.
Sorry, I have got quite deep before even introducing the song. The song is "I will remember you" by Sarah McLachlan, which was the Theme from "The Brothers McMullen". I do not know the song from that film; but from an episode from Dawson's Creek (I don't care if you think it is geeky, I loved Dawson's Creek, partly because of the friendship theme that ran through it) where they are celebrating friendships. I know when I listen to the song I am very thankful for all the friends and the memories that we have together.
Written by Sarah McLachlan, Seamus Egan and Dave Merenda. The song first appeared on the soundtrack for the movie The Brothers McMullen in 1995. Sarah McLachlan has one of those haunting voices that, for me, never fails to make me reflect on whatever she is singing about. The song resulted in Sarah being nominated for her third straight Grammy Award. It may not be one a song played often on the jukebox but it is a good slow one to have a moment to reflection
To listen to the song, it is a lovely 90s video:
