“When you walk through a storm hold your head up high, and don’t be afraid of the dark.” Sometimes songs want to be heard so much they’ll pop up over and over again in your month, your week, and sometimes your day! That happened with this song for me today, in two completely unrelated and unexpected offerings. You’ll Never Walk Alone is a song I know well. I’ve taught it, coached it, accompanied it, and performed it at the wedding of one of my most treasured friends. Despite my dark days, I don’t think to listen to this uplifting message all that often. The Universe made sure I heard it live twice today, plus numerous times looking for the right video to share. I attended an opera/musical revue today, and it was beautifully sung in the second half of the show. Later tonight, it was part of a live television show. This is one of the best musical theatre songs to hear out of context. It’s from Carousel but if you didn’t know that it wouldn’t matter, the message holds strong. Here is Judy Garland’s version. Her voice is like rich copper; too fiery for brass, too burnished for gold. Her delivery is resolute and passionate. Chilling. Take these words to heart, they’re for you. For all of us. No matter how stormy it is, or afraid of the dark you may feel “…walk on with hope in your heart and you’ll never walk alone.” And so it is. ♥ Thanks to Universe Radio for the reminder. With love, light, and song… ~Melissa~
