I wish we had met 20 years ago… A different place, a different time when I actually had a chance for you to be mine…
Although we cannot change what brought us together today, I don’t know why it is so hard for me to think about walking away…
From you and from us… despite the obstacles that stand in the way of our chance to become something more than just yesterday -
I believe in love at first site as silly as it sounds… I never actually realized that that until you came around…
The time has come For you to come away Take refuge in Me I am your hiding place Come rest in My love Please seek My face For there is no end To my divine grace It’s yours for the taking To birth a great awakening To resurrect the dead To effect every heart and head A divine turnaround has come A spiritual outpouring will follow And eternal joys will replace All of your past sorrows.
Dierks Bentley is more than meets the eye, but what does meet the eye is pretty darn hard not to look at. His presence is warm, inviting and you feel like you just sat down with an old friend. Kat and I sat down to talk to the country music star when he was in Toronto promoting his new album, Modern Day Drifter. The lead track off the album,”A lot of Leavin’ Left to do” made us wonder where the song came from. Pretty self explanatory to some, a guy leavin’ a lot of women, but Dierks shared with us that his career is what takes precedence right now and that is where his focus lies. That and with all of his fans around the world, of course. Dierks has recently sold his house, “Being on the road so much, I am hardly in one place too long, it just made sense to sell”. Another ode to leavin’. So with a house sold, no “nest”, is there space for someone in your life or was there someone? Dierks doesn’t hesitate to give us the low-down dirty shame, “Well, there was someone special in my life and I did ask her to marry me.
Ranked as the second most densely populated metropolis in Tennessee, saying that there are a lot of things to do in Nashville is an understatement. It is considered as the primary district for industries in transportation, health care and publishing. Not to mention, music. This city has given not only the United States but the rest of the world the likes of Rita Collidge, Jimi Hendrix, Faith Hill, Willie Nelson, Shania Twain, Aaron Neville, Amy Grant, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Roy Orbison, Loretta Lynn, Alan Jackson and Tammy Wynette.
An elegant downtown lodging accommodation for foreigners and locals alike, Renaissance Nashville Hotel is located right in the heart of the Music City of Tennessee. Since it is within the commercial district, there are plenty of landmarks in close proximity. B.B. King’s Blues Club and Restaurant is only of walking distance. So is with L.P. Field, Second Avenue District and Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The three actually boasts of the famous “Honky Tonks” that have been presenting live entertainment.
Some say that a visitor hasn’t really been to Nashville if they haven’t stayed or at least visited the Opryland Hotel. Whether a fan of country music or simply in town, it has become virtually obligatory to have a tour in the “palatial property” with its winding rivers, eighty-five-foot water fountains, and tropical foliage.
The U.S.’s second most heavily populated city, Nashville, is the capital of the state of Tennessee and is a foremost hub for music, transportation, health care, and publishing industries. The city can be found in the state’s north-central portion, on Cumberland River in Davidson County.
More popularly known as “Music City USA”, Nashville is the Mecca of country music -with Country Music Hall of Fame, the Grand Ole Opry, Dolly Parton, and the 1975 Oscar winning film Nashville by Robert Altman. The city’s “two-billion-a-year” industry is where nameless musicians can turn into overnight sensations, and where the fortunes of music publishing are made.
