I just heard the perfect breakup song… of course it’s more palatable for a lost love years past because it is then that you’re able to see the blessing in the relationship ending, even if it wasn’t YOUR idea to end it. As I listened to “What Can I Say” on the released-this-week 3rd album for Carrie Underwood album PLAY ON, I recounted a few painful breakups in my past. Oh the heartache back then…and yet as I think back now, if I were to run into any of these guys I would truly walk right up and say “Thank you for dumping me! I hope you are truly happy in your life because I am. If you and I didn’t end, I would not have been free when I found my husband and I wouldn’t have the two precious kids I have with him.” Sure it’s never easy to end a relationship, as the song says, but as time passes and you find the right one, you see the blessing and can appreciate what the past was and thankful it isn’t your now. One side note, What Can I Say is actually a duet with Carrie Underwood and newcomers Sons of Sylvia (which is the NEW name for The Clark Brothers who won the 2009 Next Great American Band)
