This was a big week for my co-writer, as his labor of love, Speak Now, the new Taylor Swift record was just released days ago. And it was so inspiring to hear my Grammy-winning producer/writer/friend Nathan say that there truly is no better life than the life of a SONGWRITER. Amen to that, brother.

Today's lyrical journey was about moving on from to the things that you can't change. This was ideally therapeutic for me because I hold "the way things used to be " and "the good old days" on a pedestal, as if the world is moving backwards or something. It's not. The world is moving forwards. And the things that we can't get back (our childhood, lost loves, Elvis)....all have their day. And if they lasted forever, they wouldn't be as valuable.

"Live is short and love is too. You take it as it comes, as it's comin' to you..."
