Song: "The Sun Is Shining Down" by JJ Grey & Mofro
Nominated by: 24.35.163.251
Date: February 15, 2019
Reason: It's amazing and he's amazing. When you feel the music right down to your toes... He's got it right and most of his songs do that to me. How tremendous to make a song of his grandparents' last conversation and let it be joyous and positive at the same time. That tells me that his grandfather was a "glass is half full" kind of guy and he wasn't going to let the last day go with sadness and not saying what he needed to, to the woman he loved and now to the world through his awesome grandson. My family and I have had a horrible three months: my man had a horrible rollover accident April 3 and subsequently a string of bad things have followed that... losing his job, our grown drug-addicted boys stealing from us and burning down our new business shed that we had been collecting for months to start a rustic furniture business, they stole his truck too. Our life is riddled with legal problems and distress from all of this. As I sit writing this from a motel room because we got evicted from our house because I lost my job too. God has us though. Surely we have something good in store and believe it or not, JJ Grey is keeping me moving forward instead of feeling hopeless - that is a good word - he portrays hope and makes you feel like you're not alone in this big bad world. A book for a song... I hope he wins it because he deserves it.
