The Glory of Love


Today's selection is an artist I had never heard of and when the first song came on I thought I was listening to a male Anne Murray.  But for Love sounded like Snowbird to me with a nice banjo in the back ground. The melodies are simple and quiet which can be refreshing but with his smooth Anne Murray or Conway Twitty voice I really just felt like going to sleep. 

The Glory of Love Eddie Arnold....1969
  • But for Love
  • You Gave Me a Mountain
  • Then She's a Lover
  • Heaven Below
  • Just a Bend in the Road
  • As Long As I Love
  • Town and Country
  • Sweet Bird of Youth
  • The Glory of Love
  • Faithfully
  • The Song of Long Ago

I was just about to slit my own wrists rather than continue this record until Glory of Love came on. I still think that Bette Midler does a better rendition of it but at least this song sounded different than the rest on the record. 

The lesson this record taught me "You've got to win a little lose a little and always have the blues a little
That's the story of that's the glory of love". This fit my mood for the day when I reflect on love lost and won there are days I think I wish I had not gone through this or that but at the end of the day, love is not having a choice it's the good the bad and the ugly. That's the glory of it all.
