Man in the Middle
Radio Special with Tom Dooley
Segment 3
| Tom: This is the Wayne Watson Radio
Special featuring the songs from his new albums, Man in the Middle. I’m
your host, Tom Dooley. As we’ve already heard Wayne say, next to his relationship
with the Lord, he considers his role as husband and father to be his first
priority. |
Wayne: My family is a dear.....precious gift to me...almost indescribable gift to me that I really have almost a spiritual problem with as I know they are a gift of God and that He could take them from me at any moment and I really shouldn’t put them ahead of the Lord but my love for them maxes out my love that I’m capable of understanding on this earth. It’s just maxed out in my family. My love that I’m capable of understanding in my finite mindset as a human being on this earth, it maxes out toward my two little boys; and when I get to heaven, I’m going to understand more of how to love God in an infinite capacity and how to love - period - in an infinite capacity. But love for me is caught up now in loving my family and therefore, expressing my love for the Father and how I treat my family. |
Tom: You have a song on the album which is called “To Be A Child,” and it’s one you wrote. What’s it about? |
| Wayne: To Be A Child is another song
I wrote specifically about my youngest son, Adam, whom I look at when he’s
sleeping at night and spend a good bit of time just sitting there by his
bed, this big old bed with this little bitty kid with all kinds of stuffed
animals, and the song sort of talks about that lyrically. My prayer for
him as well as his brother is that they will be allowed the happiness and
freedom to be children for the time that God gives them; and when the time
comes for them to be men, that they will be ready for it. |
|
|
| Tom: The song is about childhood and the
need for children to be children. To Be A Child....A Wayne Watson original.
The next cut is called Jack and Jill. |
| Wayne: I think obviously Jack and Jill are compared to us as mankind in that they sought their little pail of water and the second verse talks about Adam and Eve being compared to Jack and Jill and how Eve fell and how she was deceived and Adam fell and how all of mankind came tumbling after. |
|
|
Wayne: It says “Jack and Jill went up the hill and found the living water; who once were cursed now never thirst and live forever after.” So the analogy to the little kids going up the hill just to get a drink and playing on the hillside is brought to a much more serious point in that we all seek that....we all seek to be satisfied and it took somebody else, namely our Lord, to make Him climb up the hill and be lifted up and take the cup for all of us who have fallen, whether it be Jack and Jill falling down the hill or whether it be Wayne Watson falling and stumbling in sin or whoever. The fact is that Christ made that walk up that hill so that we could be made right again in God’s eyes. |
Tom: Wayne has spent a lot of time in the studio working on his own album and producing albums for other artists. His desire now is to dedicate more time to live concerts so you might get a chance to see him performing in your area before too long. When we come back, Wayne will talk about some of his experiences as he has traveled to various cities and we’ll hear the title song of the album. Stay with us. There’s more to come here on the Wayne Watson Radio Special.
