Like if there weren\u2019t problems, we wouldn\u2019t appreciate the great days, you know? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut going through those things and overcoming problems \u2014 whatever they are \u2014 make us strong and appreciate the sun. You know, 10 straight days of rain and then the sun comes out. And you are like, \u2019I forgot how much I loved it!&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lambert also shared that Laird started the songwriting session with a poem called \u201cBluebird.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis just made me feel something when I heard it,\u201d she recalled him saying. \u201cAnd it seemed like it was going to be a little bit of a challenge because it has such beautiful words and such a deep thought, and we wanted to build around that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The story of the song really picked up momentum when Laird said he was always turning pages. As in, \u201cI turn pages all the time, don\u2019t like where I am at, 34 was bad, so I just turn to 35.\u201d It all comes back to turn the page, and the next page you are going to be better, and the next page you are going to be better, Lambert added. <\/p>\n<p>Even better, Lambert sounds like she\u2019s happy to have turned the page to the kind of song that she\u2019s never written before. And she\u2019s happy to report that ever since recording the song, she has been seeing bluebirds everywhere. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bluebirds have been there. Bluebirds are always around. I have a farm,\u201d she explained, \u201cbut I never saw them like I see them now. It kind of reminds me to open my eyes to what is around me, you know? And now seeing a bluebird sitting on a branch means so much more to me that just staring into the woods. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s like I see a little piece of hope sitting there with wings.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\"> Alison makes her living loving country music.
