Every Friday, I’ll highlight a song that really stood out to me from the time that I came to know it until now. Certain songs just stick, and leave an impression that I don’t move on from. Those songs are the ones that I want to share so that everyone can (hopefully) get something from as well, whether it’s an upbeat dance track or a more thoughtful and heartfelt one.
I Know A Place
Some of the best songs come from a place of heartbreak. Whether it’s from a first-person perspective or, in the case of this song, told by an empathetic bystander. It’s a simple tale: someone who’s healed from a previous broken heart notices that somebody else is struggling through the worst part of it, and has a simple solution. “It’s hard to love with a heart that’s hurting. But if you want to go out dancing, I know a place…”
I told a friend about this song before letting her listen to it, and she asked, “Like dancing is supposed to just fix all your problems?” I replied, “Well, kinda. Yeah.” She agreed.
