Not to let one of my very closest and most favorite songs out of the bag but here goes. The first time I ever heard this song I was driving to Wyoming with one of the best friends a man could ask for. This was two years ago, the sun was setting over the wind river range leaving an orange glow and rain around the mountains. I’d go On to work there for a summer two years later, not in a small part because of that trip and my buddy (and a similar trip with my father 2 years before that).
Today back in the Midwest on the commute to my job I don’t really enjoy, 6 hours from my dear friend, In the Shadow of the Valley comes on and i tear up a little. Part of me will always be on that drive, and this lovely song lets me go there again, if only for a few seconds. Happy Friday love your friends while they live close :)
