Billy Joel wrote “River of Dreams” to explore the themes of trust betrayal, and the search for something sacred. The song explores the idea of understanding one’s own innermost thougts and feelings. Ultimately the song is about the importance of following one’s own path in life, even when facing uncertainty and doubt.
I chose this song today because of these words contained within:
I’ve been searching for something
Taken out of my soul
Something I’d never lose
Something somebody stole
Anyone who has dealt with a narcissist will tell you how much they can relate to these words. The good news is that although stolen, it can be found again; and it has for me.
I look forward to sharing more in the near future…
