Dad played hymns. Mom played country. And for the first thirteen years of my life, those were the only two types of music I heard. Neither of my parents are musically inclined, and I only remember them occasionally listening to songs as they did chores. Music wasn’t a notable feature of our household. Of course, my sister changed that as soon as she reached her teenage years. Now you can walk into my parent’s house at almost any time, listen closely, and catch the strains of One Direction or Hamilton playing in the background. But I was the oldest. The guinea pig. And as I didn’t show any interest, my parents didn’t include music in their great child-raising experiment. So I grew up thinking of music solely as hymns and country. Until age 13, when I stumbled upon the music of Andrew Peterson. Which really, really confused me, because it didn’t fit neatly into either of those categories. I soon came to absolutely love Andrew Peterson’s music, and I still do today. (You might remember that in an earlier song spam I introduced a song by his daughter, Skye, who is also a phenomenal musician) My favorite song in the bygone days of my youth was ‘You’ll Find Your Way’. It resonated with me more than any song I’d ever heard before— because it’s addressed to a young boy on the cusp of adulthood, the very situation I found myself in. https://youtu.be/NMn3ThuvGMo -Zachary Holbrook
