My mom had a severe drinking problem. I use to get so hurt and mad of the person she was when she was drunk. I would say mean things to get her to stop. She stopped for a whole year, we had the best time. Going on road trips,concerts, and just hanging out or having lunch. This year in June she started up again. I was so hurt that I didn't talk to her for 2 weeks. She came to my house on June 30th we talked a little and she left. Later that night she was ran over and died July 2nd. By a woman who thought it was ok to kill my mom and run from the scene. Trials found her not guilty and released the car she hit my mom in to her. She rides around town like nothing. Kristal Sutton is a murderer. This was a song that I played for my mom during One of our rode trips. I miss you momma.
This song is very meaningful to me as I listened to it for the very first time when I was going through the darkest period of my life. I was curing my soul from the wounds of an abusive relationship that caused me too much pain and left my heart full of rage and blame.
I was facing a long term disease while trying to rebuild my self-esteem and my whole life and now that I could stand and reborn from ashes, I look back to the road and I feel so proud about myself and all the small victories I’ve achieved every day since last April.
"Revelry"
What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine
With the fire in my bones
And the sweet taste of kerosene
I get lost in the night so high don't wanna come down
To face the loss of the good thing that I have found
Woo hoo hoooo
Woo hoo hoooo
In the dark of the night I can hear you calling my name
With the hardest of hearts, I still feel full of pain
So I drink and I smoke and I ask you if your ever around
even though it was me who drove us right into the ground
See the time we shared it was precious to me
But all the while I was dreaming of revelry
Gonna run baby run like a stream down a mountainside
With the wind in my back I wont ever even bat an eye
Just know it was you all along that had a hold of my heart
But the demon in me was a best friend from the start
So the time we shared it was precious to me
All the while I was dreaming of revelry
Dreaming of revelry
And I told myself oh the way you go it rained so hard it felt like snow
Everything came tumbling down on me
In the back of the woods, in the dark of the night
Palest pale of the old moonlight
Everythings just felt so incomplete
Dreaming of revelry [x4]
You listen to KOL either in a car doing 50mph down a country road with your friends yelling and laughing around you, or when you're all alone and having an emotional breakdown. They either make a great experience even better or a terrible one seem a little bit brighter and more hopeful.
When these guys first hit it big, I remember my friends who normally listen to rap were blaring Kings of Leon at a party! That's when you know they are doing big things!
Dreaming of Revelry, it'll kill a good relationship every time. God knows it drove the love of my life away. So "Dreaming of Revelry" will forever be the soundtrack for the one, brief, portion of my life I wish I could do over again. Because it would all be different.
