In March Kelley Clarkson's new album Piece By Piece came out. Downloaded it and spent some driving time getting ready for her tour beginning July 11. Got our tickets for the concert on our 40th anniversary July 12 at the Xfinity Center. (See how much my hubby loves me? Lol)
The first single hit the radio a few weeks ago and as soon as I heard Heartbeat Song, I knew we had a new Kelley. Up until now, her music was filled with a lot of anger. Until she met Brandon Blackstock, now her husband. Heartbeat Song was the first happy song she ever wrote. Its bouncy, playful, and gives us a glimpse of a life completely turned around.
I'm two thirds of the way through the album and the title song Piece by Piece caught my attention. “Men can be kind and a father can stay” is a line from the song. Piece by Piece is Kelly's answer to Because of You, a video that tears your heart out. Song by song Kelly tells us how she has evolved and become whole by her marriage to Brandon and the birth of her daughter, River.
I like the concept. Usually the important changes in us take place over time, piece by piece we are dismantled and rebuilt again. Whether we are talking about letting go, weight loss, changing our diet for the better, adopting an exercise routine, etc….it all happens piece by piece.
And so, as another day goes by, thank you for the insight, Kelly, and I'm looking forward to the concert this summer!
