I like to listen to this when I need to put things into perspective, like at the time of this posting as I have recently had to deal with the losses of a couple of people back in January and February of this year, a nephew due to an illness and a friend to suicide.

Also taking into fact that I am not getting any younger and I am dealing with some health issues that I would rather not have to deal with but doing my best to face things head on and make the best of it and keep a brave face about things.

Add to that it gives me time to reflect a bit on those times when I was a real SOB towards some folks. Regardless of whether they deserved it or not.

Also serves to remind me that I am not dead yet and I gotta keep on living until there is no more life left in me. And God willing I hope that is a long time in the offing.

Live Like You Were Dying was named as the Number One country song of 2004 by Billboard. The music video, directed by Sherman Halsey was nominated for Video of the Year at the 2006 Academy of Country Music Awards.
