David Nail--"The Sound of a Million Dreams"

(Today's word will be in red, and bold.)


Sometimes a song comes along, and for whatever reason, it just strikes a chord in a person.  That's what happened the first time I heard David Nail's "The Sound of a Million Dreams".

The first time I heard the song, it brought to mind Billy Joel's "Piano Man".  Though the subject of each is completely different, I think it was the piano playing that had me comparing Nail's song with Billy Joel's.

That comparison had me really listening to Nail's song, to see how much it was like the other tune.  The cool part is, as stated earlier, the songs aren't anything alike.  Joel's tune is about being a piano player in a bar, and observing the different patrons that come and go.

Nail's song seems a bit simpler, about love lost, and growing up; yet still manages to capture the listener with it's message.  Nail's delivery of this tune is intense, and the passion of the lyrics shine through.

If you haven't heard David Nail's new single yet, give it a listen and see what you think of his latest offering.
