This is an oft used phrase that dates back to the mouth of Jesus and recorded in the bible. Had it appeared before that I’m not sure. I’m not a scholar of phrases and I only scratched the surface on this one. It does turn up some interesting things. Did you know that there is a book by a guy named David Icke? I have not read the book and actually I had never heard of it until I googled the phrase for this blog post.
Upon reading some of the reviews of what the book is about, I’m now very likely to go and find a copy of it to consume for myself. It looks interesting to say the least. Talk of illuminati, kings, Dan Brown and his Da Vinci Code, even parallels to the fact The Matrix borrowed from it. Obviously it’s not a book that you pick up if you want your world shattered. Right? Unless there is nothing to shatter.
What is truth? Chances are the truth is extremely hard to come by. Mostly because there’s at least three sides to any story. There’s your side, my side and then there’s the truth, but neither of us will have it because we’re tainted by our view. Hence the your side, my side thing. There was a band that did an album called Three Sides to Every Story. It was a very good album, probably their most ambitious by far. There’s also a book by that title too. Crazy what you can dig up.
Then there’s Bucksworth. I stumbled across them on CD Baby as I’m often capable of doing with lots of artists. The title of the CD was the first thing that struck me. It’s one giant run-on word. At first I thought it was a typo, then I realized there’s a song by that name too. No mistake there. It’s on purpose. The vibe of Waitin For The Truth jumped right on me. Actually Bucksworth’s sound is what you’re hearing here, but this one as I said jumped on me. I’m thoroughly enjoying the rockabilly type of country-esque thing too.
The story is fun too. Of course we’ve all had one of those moments when we finally didn’t have to wait for some truth to set us free. It’s a fantastic thing when that happens. I would liken it to writing a song and DING you hit that something while you’re writing and it makes you go yeah that works. I wonder what the circumstance was behind this song for Bucksworth. Did they have that aha moment? Or was it just an oh yeah, we wrote this and it fits our kit. Hmmm… I don’t know. Either way, I’m enjoying the janglely guitars and the vocal twang that goes right along with it.
I suspect that if it doesn’t hit you upon first listen you will need to hear it again. I’m sure if you let your mind wander, you will want this song. When you figure it out, go’head and purchase, you’ll feel better.
