Ryan Bingham – Thats How Strong My Love Is
What happens when a gritty county musician covers Otis Redding? You get this song by Bingham that sits out in the space between genres of music and penetrates your thoughts and heart.
I’m not a huge fan of love songs as they tend to get sappy and over sensational… but this one hits home. It’s so simple and well crafted.
“I’ll be the breeze after the storm is gone.
To dry your eyes and love you warm”
It’s probably both the writing and the way it’s sung here, but it puts images of my wife, Christy, into my head. And any song that can puts images of the one you truly love into your head.. well I call that a successful love song.
So this one’s to you darlin’. That’s how strong my love is.

If I was the sun way up there
I’d go with love most everywhere
I’ll be the moon when the sun goes down
Just to let you know that I’m still around
That’s how strong my love is, oh
That’s how strong my love is,
That’s how strong my love is, baby, baby,
That’s how strong my love is.
I’ll be the weeping willow drowning in my tears
You can go swimming when you’re here
I’ll be the rainbow when the sun is gone
Wrap you in my colors and keep you warm
That’s how strong my love is, darling,
That’s how strong my love is, baby,
That’s how strong my love is, oooh,
That’s how strong my love is.
I’ll be the ocean so deep and wide
I’ll get out the tears whenever you cry,
I’ll be the breeze after the storm is gone
To dry your eyes and love you warm
That’s how strong my love is, baby,
That’s how strong my love is,
That’s how strong my love is, darling,
That’s how strong my love is,
That’s how strong my love is, so deep in,
Well, that’s how strong my love is
So much love, yes so much love, oohh,
Yes so much love, yes so much love,
Anything that I can do, I’ll be good for you,
Any kind of love you want, I’ll be with you….
