"The Great Salt Lake" Continued

So far this blog is not off too a good start, its been a little over week and I'm still on one song. Anyway, continuing on...This song for obvious reasons reminds me of the time that I spent in Utah, the home of the actual Great Salt Lake, a true natural wonder. A truly was a quite a sight to be able to see the some come up over the mountains and see the sun glisten off the lake, it was a beautiful thing...even though up close the lake it self really is a salty, smelly, and rather unattractive body of water. But as for my time spent in Utah, a state that is truly misunderstood by those who have never really spent time there I might add, it is a time in my life I will never forget. I met many amazing people whom are still a big part of my life, although, at this point I find that I have almost lost touch with some of them, every time that I go back, its as if I never left. It was in Utah that I first discovered what it was like to live on my own at the ripe at of 19. I thought I knew everything, turns out I didn't know much at all. It was in Utah that I first fell in love, it is a remarkable feeling...even if it doesn't last you will always know what it feels like and never forget it. Yes, I did fall in love in one aspect, in terms of a woman and a relationship, but I also fell in love with a place and a group of people that touched my life in ways I will never forget. When I hear this song it may or may not have anything to do with the feelings that I felt but I hear at that is what I think of at thats all that really matters.

In addition to the state of Utah, this song also brings to mind the Summer of 2009. The music video to this particular song features the great summer pastime slowpitch softball. It was this pastime that I feel led to appreciate another group of friends and to fall in love again. That summer, like the state of Utah and my time spent there, has forever changed my life led me to find and meet people that I will never forget and that feeling of being in love that is unmistakable.
