Or we feel like we've met someone before, though again, we know we haven't.
Even situations can feel similar, and yet, we know the current situation is a new experience from any other we've had.
I'm not an expert, so I don't have any idea what causes a person's brain to make these types of connections. What I do know is, recently I've had one of these experiences, and the feeling has stayed with me from the beginning. So much so, that I'm writing this post about it, to share with others.
That last paragraph kind of sounds like my experience is life changing, or at least dramatic in some way. It's not. It's just a simple observance that I found interesting enough to want to share.
I fell in love with this song the minute I heard it. At the same time, even though it was brand new, I felt like I'd heard the song before.
Then I realized why it felt so familiar, and yet, wasn't.
Back in the late 80's, early 90's, country band, Sawyer Brown put out a string of hit songs.
In 1991 they released a song, "The Walk", which would become one of the group's signature songs.
"The Walk" follows the life of a boy, who becomes a young adult, and man, all while taking walks with his dad down a dirt road where they live.
"Even Though I'm Leaving" has no dirt road walks mentioned in it anywhere, but it does have a dad and son sharing moments, and growing together.
That really is the only similarity between the two songs; yet I still can't help but think of Sawyer Brown every time I hear Luke Combs's song on the radio. And thus this post has been written about my experience.
I'd love to hear what others think when they hear these two songs, so I've posted the videos for each below. Let me know what you think, and feel free to tell me if I've completely missed the mark.
