is this the [1]?

so last night i saw the counting crows in concert. a bucket list band for me. it took several songs but i slowly moved my way to the front of the crowd. adam started playing a song on the piano i didn’t know. not sure if it was a new song or what but i found myself really moved by the song. listening to the lyrics i thought, wow, adam’s poetry is so perfect.

“in my defense, i had none” 

 

“we never painted by the numbers, baby, but we were making it count“ 

 

“if one thing had been different, would everything be different today?”

 

i typed a few of the lyrics into my phone so i could look it up later….

 

 

upon googling the lyrics, i found out the song is in fact a cover. it turns out i’m now among the millions of girls, tweens, teens, women and various other fans that love the song “the 1” from the folklore album by taylor swift….which i’m told is a bit of a deep cut album making me a true fan.
