Our Music

Janet Kuypers
04/20/10

As we drove down US 41 in your mini-van
“Let Freedom Ring” started on the country station
I don’t know what that song’s really called
but I quietly sang along
making sure to not use the perverted lyrics
we created from listening to the song
as the intro to the Sean Hannity Radio Show
I think I wanted to sing
because you know I’m a singer
and I wanted to connect to you somehow
even if it was only through this country song

what I remember about you
is that when we’re driving down the road
every once in a while
some song would play on the radio
and you would sing the base harmony

even with only the instruments
you’d harmonize

I never remember the song
but I remember you
finding the harmony
that I, the singer
never found

and this was my way
of finding a current
common link
between us

this was our link
and this was our music
