As a songwriter, I know that some of the words that end up in my songs come from God – they just pop in. I’ve been studying Barry’s music for the past year and what I’m starting see is, a lot of his songs convey true love between a man and woman and highlight moments when that love is separated (This One’s For You, Old Songs, Weekend in New England, etc). Anyone who has been in love (and I’m talking about God putting his special blessing on a relationship) knows that when this sort of relationship is severed, there is pain and you find yourself living in some of the songs that Barry made famous. So, despite Barry coming out of the closet and the slight hypocrisy around the man+woman songs he sang, the songs themselves still speak to so many people because so many people have been in love and couldn’t make it work (because being in love is just plain difficult… but so good at the same time). I think Barry was God’s choice for bringing these songs to the public because Barry, by the grace of God, poured out his heart into the production and performance of these songs – songs that glorify God’s cry for true/intimate love with His creation – songs that cry out “come to Me”. If you never have, go back and listen to some of Barry’s songs again and this time try to see the heart of God in them – after all, everything God created, including music, is for His glory.
