Don't Give Up

because, You are LOOOVVEDD...

-Josh Groban.

My mom listened to him a lot while I was in high school and I somewhat got into him. I liked his stuff a lot but it wasn't the first thing I would pop into the CD player while driving places.

Seth LOVES Josh Groban and LOVES to sing at the top of his lungs to his music. He knows every song, every word. So it was inevitable that I would begin to really like him. (Josh Groban that is... :) When we were first dating, that's all we really listened to in his car, and on occasion Rascal Flatts. He loves to blare both. When I first officially met him that's what he and his roommates were blasting from their house across the street. Seth says he can't wait to move to our own house where he can play his music loud and sing even louder. He has an awesome voice I might add and it almost sounds better, louder ;) jk..

The point to my post. My favorite song of his, is Don't Give Up. I just really love the arrangement. (and now the lyrics) You know when you listen to a sing and you know all the words because you listened to it for so long, but when someone was to ask you what is was about, you wouldnt really know because you hadn't paid attention to the words? Well ya, that's kind of what it was to me. UNTIL (and it HAD to be this time) on the way to the temple in Seth's car to get married. I of course was on an extreme case of nerves, the night before I couldnt find the necessary papers that I needed. I swore I hadn't gotten them back from the temple when I first went. Long story short, I frantically called my bishop at MIDNIGHT wondering what to do. After I hung up I found them, right where they should have been, in my bag :)

So on the way to the temple, that song started playing and I started to really listen to the words, because of some things I was told that night before about someone really close to me, and I started bawling. On my way to get married I should be excited and happy, I was nervous and crying ruining my make up, ha. Besides that fact, this song has some really good lyrics that can keep ya going when things get tough. Don't give up, you are loved.

I was playing it on the piano this morning and wanted to share it, so here ya go.
