I was out driving, flipping through the radio stations, when I stumbled across “Lost Boy” by Ruth B. I heard about the song – it was inspired by Peter Pan, causing it to go viral and thus land Ruth B. a record deal – but I never actually heard it in it’s entirety. And my gosh, the girl can sing. Her vocals soar soothingly over the piano, perfectly hitting the unexpected high notes.
The song has struck chord with me particularly because I think she’s speaking about the importance of imagination. The character in her song appears to be lonely and quite lost in life, so he escapes into Neverland with Peter Pan. He turns to the power of imagination to live and to be free. Just an important reminder to all us that deep inside all of us is our childhood self and the power of imagination.
