Trisha Yearwood - "Not A Bad Thing"

I’ve spent the last few days alone in my home. Leaving for short walks and a few runs through my neighborhood. What I’ve noticed, for maybe the first time, was children playing in the streets, fewer cars on the roads, neighbors chatting with each other jovially, and just a general sense that as a community (and in each community) people are coming together to fight back the spread of the virus. Amidst the doom and gloom of the news coming out about the Coronavirus (Covid-19) it’s inspiring to see these little touches of humanity springing up. Similar to the videos popping up of whole neighborhoods in Italy singing and performing for each other. The only way through this is together, and I have faith in the human spirit that we will do just that.

So I started thinking about this song, and how very bad things, can help good things spring up. Sung by the voice of a country music generation, it’s set around the idea that being alone, doesn’t always mean you’re lonely, and that sometimes it’s not actually a bad thing.

So today, with the sun peaking through, I choose Trisha Yearwood’s “Not A Bad Thing” as my, look for the silver lining, you’ll see it shining, hold on until tomorrow, song for a, united we stand, together we fight, We is stronger than I, Thursday.
