Nearly Lost You

Heard this song on the radio today as I navigated my rental car around LA, and when I did, I felt grateful:

Did you hear the distant cry
Calling me back to my sin
Like the one you knew before
Calling me back once again

Grateful to be back in Cali, which in some ways always feels like home to me (it's where both my parents' and grandparents grew up).

Grateful to hear a familiar song, immediately grounding me in the way that music so often does.

And, yeah, grateful that though it seemed for a time I might lose my lover, and in some sense I did, it's looking more and more like nearly is the operative word:

I nearly, I nearly lost you there
And it's taken us somewhere
I nearly lost you there
Well let's try to sleep now
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
I nearly lost you there
Oh yeah, nearly lost you there
