Remembering Ole House I’ve Lived

“This Ole House” Lyrics

This ole house once knew his children
This ole house once knew a wife
This ole house was home and comfort
As we fought the storms of life
This old house once rang with laughter
This old house heard many shouts
Now she trembles in the darkness
When the lightnin’ walks about….

About this post
I saw this FB post while browsing through a friend’s post. As I played this song by Colet Selvan on Youtube, I was struck with this voice, the voice that lit hope and gave me company on a lonely Sunday.

What a mesmerizing voice and as one of the comment on Youtube goes – just close your eyes and hear this song, you’ll think it’s from a old White man.

Flashback…
Also, when I heard this song with the lyrics, it took me to the houses where I have stayed and which has lost it’s sheen after we had moved out. It’s so, so sad to see the house that’s broken, in a bad shape, after all, the time I had spend in that house has so much memories of my life in that phase of life.

Well, nothing is permenant in this word….all things crumbles.
