Sweet Cecilia - RED BIRD FLIES

 

RED BIRD FLIES- Story Behind the song 

YouTube Song

"When cardinals appear, angels are near".  This saying weighed heavy on my heart last summer.  Literally everywhere I went cardinals were around.  I was riding the 4 wheeler with my two boys and the song just came to me.  My angels were with me too..  1st Verse is about our dear friend Stacie Campbell.  2nd verse is about our sweet little cousin Isley Thibodeaux who was killed by a drunk driver after the Carrie Underwood concert.  3rd Verse- about my Dad.  4th verse- Jillian Johnson and Mayci Breaux...the beautiful young women who were killed during the Grand Theater shootings.  This song is deep but I hope it will bring comfort to those who have lost loved ones.  Thanks Uncle Rex Berard for the picture.

Little Bird - song

Chad found this cool song and sent it to me right away... he knew I would like it!
The words and the title to the song reminded me of Mary and my little red bird!
I looked up the singer since I had never heard of her and saw that she was from the same town I have lived in for the last 10 years here on Long Island.
What a coincidence. A sign from above...

Kim Sozzi's "Little Bird" song is a special little treat and has a place here on my Mary blog to share and cherish!

"I Still Believe"

I heard a song last night that was inspiring... Danny Gokey - "My Best Days are ahead of me"!
He was on American idol last year - his wife died just before he auditioned! He is incredible & this song he sang is amazing.... He chose this song before he knew the story behind the songwriter....he found out the songwriter lost his wife too & wrote this song! It's as if it was meant to be for Danny Gokey to find this song!!!! Love it!!!!
Needless to say, I uploaded it from I- tunes immediately!

Then I realized I had downloaded the wrong song. I downloaded his other song "I Still Believe" & loved the words to this one even more! So much I have to share it with you. These words touched my heart & a connection was made. It was meant to be. Hope you enjoy....
Love from above!!

That's what life is about! Signs and connections! Inspiring - keep on living -life goes on and memories are cherished!

"I Still Believe"

I've been lookin for a light at then end of this tunnel
I've been searchin for a sign to lead me home
To mend the endless nights of sorrow
But on the other side of this I know that my heart will live

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe

I don't understand many things
Like the miracle in love and all my dreams
But I still believe

And the more I live my life; the less that I question
All the things I just can't see right in front of my eyes
So I take that leap of faith and learn a few lessons
Time will show me this what you give is what you get

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe

I don't know the answer to my prayers;
But I keep kneeling down like someone's there
Cause I still believe

Yeah I guess I could give up
There are days I wanna run away from everything
But what good would that do for me yeah
Ohh ohh ohh ohh I I I still believe

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
Oohhh but I still believe
Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe yes I do

I don't really know what tomorrow will bring
But I'm open to all possibilities
Cause I still believe

Never saw a man walk on water
Never met a man who walked on water
But I still believe

I don't really know what tomorrow will bring
But I'm open to all possibilities
But I but I believe

Never saw a man never saw a man never saw a man
Who walked on water
Never saw a man never saw a man never saw a man
Ohhhh but I but I but I believe it
But I but I but I believe
But I but I but I believe
Yeaahhh

Kenny Chesney songs + Mary = Loving Memories

Oh how Mary loved her Kenny Chesney!

Back in December 2004 when I flew to Beaumont to be with Mary and the kids during a tough time, she played her Kenny Chesney CD over & over for me, explaining to me what she got out of each song. She loved so many of his songs and related alot of her life to them. Oh how I wish I knew exactly what CD that was or exactly what she said about those songs. I do remember that day though. Driving with her in her lil white Hyundai Santa Fe (such a cute lil SUV that fit her personality perfectly), we were headed from Beaumont to Houston to meet David at BW3's. I was just along for the ride, enjoying every minute with my sister. It was a beautiful day that was about to be more beautiful with the 3 of us together with Kelsey & Brett!

Our brother David just texted me:

"Kenny Chesney songs 10-4-3 on CD the road and the Radio in that order, watch how Mary Combs speaks to u, love u sis".

I was so confused, I text back :

"What cd? "the road"?"

David text back:

"The road and the radio sis. Mary knew it 10-4-3 in that order sis. Figure it out. Love u".

Sounds like my mystery I mentioned above is about to be answered but my brother has given me a puzzle to figure out, so that is what I'm going to do.

Please let me know if you have a clue.....
