I am¬by no means a music critic.¬ I know everyone has their own tastes in that department.¬ I never turn a deaf ear to something new though, a good lesson I learned from ROX actually.
For my birthday I received Bob Seger’s new CD, “Face the Promise.”¬ I must say I enjoy it tremendously!¬ It’s his style, in the 21st century, and I can’t get enough of it.
One song in particular has a special meaning in my heart at this moment, due to my daughter’s pending movement to an undetermined location.¬ You may have heard it on the radio, “Wait for Me.”¬ I almost cry every time I listen to it.¬ The song is me through and through when it comes to my little girl.¬ As one line states,”In the cool of the night, in the heat of the day, if your ever in doubt, I’ll be on my way.¬ Straight to your side, I guarantee, I’ll be around if you wait for me.”¬
Something many people, including me, did not know is he disappeared from the music world to be a part of his children’s life.¬ More props¬to Mr. Seger on that one!
If you do decide to purchase this, be careful.¬ There are 2 versions, one with a bonus DVD, and one without.¬ The bonus DVD has many extras, and really make it worth the extra couple of bucks.¬ 2 music videos are included, “Like a Rock” and “The Fire Inside”.¬ Also there is some “lost” footage from a 1978 concert in San Diego, and “Making of” footage.
According to his website, http://www.bobseger.com, he is coming to Indy on 11/18.¬ I wonder if I can get dad to spring for a couple tickets?¬ I guess I’ll ask tonight.
