Songs in the Raw - Nov 16

I was thinking about the few people I know that have married their high school sweetheart. I actually know more than you would think. It must be a really comforting feeling to know your spouse through the many changes that take place between high school, college and early adulthood. Kind of a trip to think about some one knowing all the tiny events that helped to form the person that you become. And, at the same time, you knowing all the events that helped to form the person that you love.

Were you an athlete in high school and now you don't even get off the couch? Was your wife a cheerleader and now she's a member of the PTA? Were you both big drinkers in college and now you barely even drink a glass of wine before you get tired at 8:30 on a Friday night? Did you used to smoke a ton of weed and now you smoke once a year when you get together with your college buddies? Were there breakups and make ups and little flings that caused massive fights and now you can't even imagine kissing another person? I am blown away when I think about how two people can stay together through all these little things and forge out a life and a family.

There has to be a really strong bond between them. Or is it the same for folks who met in their thirties and married quickly? Was there always that "perfect fit" and it just took some longer to find it and some found it early on?

Anyway, this week's song was spawned from that thought. It's called "There is No I" and it's about a couple who met in high school and stayed together through all the little changes. Check out Songs in the Raw and give it a ride.
