Today’s song is The Red Strokes by Garth Brooks

Moonlight on canvas, midnight and wine
Two shadows starting to softly combine
The picture they’re painting
Is one of the heart
And to those who have seen it
It’s a true work of art.

Oh, the red strokes
Passions uncaged
Thundering moments of tenderness rage
Oh, the red strokes
Tempered and strong (fearlessly drawn)
Burning the night like the dawn

Steam on the window, salt in a kiss
Two hearts have never pounded like this
Inspired by a vision
That they can’t command
Erasing the borders
With each brush of a hand

I was never a Garth Brooks fan - never really been all that into country, and stadium country seemed a bit odd to me - but, as with most artists, there’s one song that I really like and this is it. Perhaps the reason I like it is that it doesn’t sound like any of the other stuff that Garth Brooks has produced.

Actually, anyone know what he’s up to these days? Haven’t heard anything about him for ages.
