Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) Dixie Chicks

Tweet This


"Why are you crying!?" interogates Hubby.

But before I could answer he says, "It's because you are listening to that sad song!"

"It's not a sad song," I protest. "It's a kids' lullaby."

"Yes, it is a sad song," insists Hubby. "There's some sad story behind that song. Wiki it."

So I wiki'd, "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)."

Turns out, Hubby is right. Hmmmmm. I've said this too many times today.

Here's what I learned from SongFacts.Com


Godspeed (Sweet Dreams) was written by Radney Foster for his son, whom he lost in a custody battle. Foster wrote the song for his son, who would soon be moving 5,000 miles away from him. The song would serve as a reminder so his son would always know his daddy loved him.

Foster recorded the song 5 times in a row on a cassette for his son to listen every night. Foster didn't think he'd record the song again after that, but when his manager had a baby Foster gave him a recording of the song. His manager LOVED the song and insisted it go on Foster's next album. Later the Dixie Chicks did a cover of "Godspeed (Sweet Dreams)," and that's when I first heard the song.

"Wah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I sob. "You were right."

"I knew it!" shouts Hubby. "There's all this sad energy behind the song, and that's why you're crying."
