The "Backpack" video by 6'10

A new song

 It's been awhile since I've posted anything.  I have a half dozen not finished posts sitting here from right after my Camino, summarizing the trip, and maybe someday I'll post them.

This fall I got to go to a bonfire with some friends to hear some new (and older) songs from the guys from Flatfoot 56 and 6'10.  We were treated to an acoustic concert.  One song really hit me, and as they were singing it, my mind kept being brought back to the Camino.  When I told them this after they were done, one of the guys said that they had heard of it and it was in their mind when they wrote it.  Very cool.  Click the link below to hear Backpack.

Listen to Backpack by 6'10

Backpack

We built our home of glass next to a gravel road
Just to show the strength we were made of
Our past a different time we sold, only till it came between us
Hear the rumble the crumble, the crash of dreams
Man I hope the grass was greener
O this life is just not what it seems,
But for grace these times would be meaner

I found the grace of the lonely road
I have found the peace of the lonely road

We walk alone!! Fighting the fragrance of pain
Finding home!!! Just a backpack that calling my name

No freedom found in the mistakes that others have made
But by grace I remember the price was paid
Forgiveness marks the start of this long long road
A daily fight of a creature with no legs of its own.
This experience has painted, painted a picture for me
Kill my pride so that my blinded eyes can see
I'm not defines by the actions of another mans fear
Only known by the heart of the son right here.
