“Erm… Okay… So I guess I will have to sing now huh?” She asked the crowd, and was answered with a huge agreement. “Okay…” she made a face with lifted brows, a fake frightened look she reserved for her crowds doing her dj-ing stint, except that this time, it wasn’t that fake, Shane noted. “I am going to sing a song, that resembles my life now, see, I left someone at home, I love her so dearly, and she is still waiting for me…” Carmen shook her head sadly, her emotions threatening to overcome her. “So, this is for my baby. Even though she cannot be here today.” Her honest dedication elicited aws and ohs from the audience as they settled in to listen to the resident KJ. Carmen walked over her station to hit the play button, and on the screen, the title card read “You – Switchfoot”

The rowdy crowd immediately quieten down even more as soon as the guitar intro came on.

There’s always something

In the way

There’s always something

Getting through

But it’s not me

it’s You

If Shane wasn’t move to tears by Carmen’s honest admission, she was by the choice of the song. Her love, her Carmen had told a crowd of strangers about her, the one waiting back home. Except that she wasn’t back home, she was here, with Carmen, listening to all the love poured into the lyrics.

Sometime’s ignorance

Rings true

But hope is not in

What I know

Not in me

It’s in You

It’s all I know

Shane love the soulful rocker singing voice that she didn’t know Carmen possessed, with the meaningful lyrics, and the deep emotions, Carmen did more then just do justice to the song, she made it even better then the original. Carmen stared into a spot beyond, and it almost felt like Carmen was singing to her alone; In a way, that was true, Carmen was singing for her alone, and Shane knew it.

And I find peace

When I’m confused

I find hope when

I’m let down

Not in me

But in You
