This Is It

Kenny Loggins' sublime hit

My gateway into Kenny Loggins is today’s song of the day. I remember playing it over and over, wearing out my cassette because the song spoke so strongly to me. The power of the pre-chorus:

For once in your life, here’s your miracle. Stand up and fight!

I got a call this morning for an interview for a job I really want, so this line is resonating. I want my miracle!

Turns out Kenny Loggins wrote it (with Michael McDonald) after having a fight with his dad, who was struggling with a health issue and seemed like he was ready to check out. It explains why there is such force in the vocal on these lines. That force was what drew me to the song and still does, all these years later. Enjoy!
