Blake Shelton's newest album came out this past Friday, on the 20th, and this song appears on the album. Even though he is a well known country singer (and this song is currently garnering him lots of attention), this song was released about month ago and is considered a "gospel" song. I wanted to share "Savior's Shadow" because I found the creation of this song to be so moving (I'm not sharing this song to share a religious view point).
As someone who considers herself to be a creative person, I love hearing about the creative process from other artists (e.g. song writers, painters, photographers, etc.,). Apparently, this song came to Blake Shelton in a dream when he was going through his divorce from his then wife, Miranda Lambert. He originally thought that the lyrics meant God was crying for him because he was going through such a horrible time in his life. Later, he felt that the song's meaning changed to mean that God was with him and on his journey with him as he was going through his divorce. (Click on the above link to read more about this song's creation.)
Musically, it's a simple song, yet it's also comforting. It's a good song and I love the backstory of how it came to be. Let me know what you think of this song.
