"Out There" by Swing Out Sister

River -

   It hurts me so much that you are no longer here on this Earth with us.  Where so many of us could and would have enjoyed your company, love and beauty for many more years.

   I know you are "Out There" somewhere in a better place, where you can be your true self without anyone judging you.  Away from people doing a double-take when they see you.  No more getting the evil eye because you look slightly different than people are used to.

Until we meet again, please know you will always be in my heart!

All my love,
   -Rachel

I've been listening to several of my very favorite Swing Out Sister songs recently and I've been thinking about how they have been able to capture my emotions and feelings better than any other musical artist or group ever.


It's like Corinne and Andy have the unique ability to tune into my inner soul and bring it out into the light.  Their wonderful music reflects, so well, what I feel inside!


Off the top of my head, I can't think of a single song of theirs I don't like.  I'm not sure I can say that about any other artist or group.  I love The Beatles, but there are a few songs of theirs that suck.

I think I can even safely say something like 80-90% of their music is among my favorite music ever.

Corinne and Andy: thanks again for all the beautiful, soul soothing music you have brought into my life.  I can never express what a difference you have made in my life.  You have lifted me up!  You carried me through!  I love you!


Anyway, this was the perfect song for today!  It is absolutely beautiful!   I have been thinking about River's spirit being "Out There", in peace and she is happy now.
