We're all the same

"Bleed Red" - Ronnie Dunn

I'm a fan of some country music... not all by any means. But one voice that has always really appealed to me is that of Ronnie Dunn, formerly of the duo, Brook and Dunn. He's considered to have probably the best male voice in country music these days.

I've seen him in concert twice with Kix Brooks and can attest to the power of his voice. That man can sing! What you hear on a recording is exactly the same as in person. He's not one that needs the vocals tweaked and tuned to sound good. I've watched and heard him sing "Believe" on stage with only a microphone.... no band (initially - they all filtered back in later in the song) and just a spotlight. Gave me goosebumps then, and even the memory gives them to me now.

Brooks and Dunn dissolved this past August after a 20 year career. Ronnie is now putting out his first solo album and this song is the first release. I'm waiting for the rest... I'm sure they will be equally as good!

There's no video for this song yet, so click on the link above to listen. In these times of turmoil and tension, hatred and distrust, these words have meaning for all of us.

Lyrics - Bleed Red

Let’s say we’re sorry before it’s too late 
Give forgiveness a chance 
Turn the anger into water 
Let it slip through our hands

We all bleed red 
We all taste rain 
We all fall down lose our way 
We all say words we regret 
We all cry tears 
We all bleed red

If we’re fighting we’re both losing 
We’re just wasting our time 
Because my scars they are your scars 
And your world is mine 
You and I

We all bleed red 
We all taste rain 
We all fall down lose our way 
We all say words we regret 
We all cry tears 
We all bleed red 
Sometimes we’re strong 
Sometimes we’re weak 
Sometimes we’re hurt and it cuts deep 
We live this life breath to breath 
We’re all the same 
We all bleed red

Let’s say we’re sorry before it’s too late

We all bleed red 
We all taste rain 
We all fall down lose our way 
We all say words we regret 
We all cry tears 
We all bleed red 
Sometimes we’re strong 
Sometimes we’re weak 
Sometimes we’re hurt and it cuts deep 
We live this life breath to breath 
We’re all the sameWe all bleed red
