i love this idea for a post! very often it is one line in a song that sucks me in. very often it only takes one line in a song to make it “mine.” : )

Thanks! Sometimes it’s hard to pick just one line though - ‘Big Blue Above’ is stuffed full of great lines so that one was a tricky one to narrow down!
