This Summer I started writing songs with my good friend Jim Trick (jimtrick.com). Songs come from lots of different places but one of the best sources for songwriting material are the true stories of others.... This entry is about one of our new songs and the story behind it.
My girlfriend is a photographer. She was sharing with me about a wedding she had just shot the day before hurricane Irene hit. The bride was in tears as she looked out at the rain pouring down on her outdoor sanctuary and said, "this wasn't the plan". Although the desire was to have the perfect weather to accompany her dreams of a perfect day, perhaps this imperfection was actually perfection. My girlfriend described the bride walking through the mud, the guests wearing raincoats and the best man on his knees, holding an umbrella over the bride and groom to shelter them as they stood close to exchange rings and vows. Although not ideal, when she looks back at her wedding day, she will have the memory of the level of love that was shared and how it continued weather rain or shine. I was practically moved to tears, and decided this story needed a song.
If you click on the link below, you can hear the song Jim and I wrote being played as the soundtrack to the slide show of their wedding pictures. It's called "Weather or Not".
