Title: My unintended interpretation of "Out of Reach"
Post by: Danger Zone on March 08, 2019, 04:00:32 PM

There was something about this song that hit me hard and I couldn't figure out what. Then it occurred to me that the lyrics reminded me (or I interpreted them) in the context of my daughter who was just born prematurely (1 lb, 9 oz). She almost died before the hospital finally stabilized her. Now she's fighting for her little life. I'm listening to this song interpreting the lyrics in completely the unintended context, but in a way that deeply affected me.

Thank you. Things are mostly looking good, but it's hard to listen to this song and not interpret that way now.
