Okay i read in another post that there should be a post about Makeover. Here you go! I have said a few times here that this song feels like it was written about me. It touches my very soul.

That's simple and plain but it's the truth. I don't believe when David wrote this song he knew how many lives he would help. The man is inspirational without even trying. I can't hear it without crying, good tears, and it's on repeat actually right now on my WMP.

If you haven't heard this song, where have you been? Do anything and everything you can to find it and IF you get a chance to meet David at a meet & greet let him know that he has touched so many people with this incredible everlasting (to me anyway) song.

Is song a big enough word for it? I'm calling it a masterpiece from now on smile.gif

A masterpiece is exactly what it is. This song touched deep within my heart the first time I heard it.

Ha, ha, that was me! I said it on that post, and I'll say it again. I got chills the first time I heard that song because I thought he must have somehow written it about me. The whole song pulls at my soul, but there is a line, "her broken legs won't let her walk away, from this town that couldn't give a single shit either way".... I have to know where that line came from. What is the story there? I was in a terrible car accident and crushed both of my legs when I was 15. Originally they were supposed to amputate them, but decided on some experimental prosthetic implants instead (after I threatened to kill myself if they cut my legs off). Well, I was in a wheelchair for a long time, and there were a lot of circumstances that followed that wouldn't let me leave that hellhole of a town. One being that my surgeon was the only one who could perform the many "tweaks" I needed for my legs. Another was a boyfriend who I went out with because he was the only person who was nice to me when I was scarred and in a wheelchair. I stayed with him for 4 years because I felt I owed him after he was nice to me and gave up many things including an acceptance to Harvard to stay near him (although I did attend a very distinguished college there). I ended up staying in this aweful town that tore at my soul and that one line from Makeover sums up 8 of the worst years of my life. I hear that line and it cuts to my very soul and I am immediately in tears. I want to know where it came from because I can't imagine it fitting another person's life better than mine.

Don't feel too bad for me though. My surgeries are over and you'd never know that I'd ever had one if I didn't tell you. You can tell from my profile picture that I'm not a monster or anything (although, trust me, I was for a couple of years). Sorry for the sad story, but I can't express enough how touching that song is to me, and I love David for being able to touch me that way.
