The Way It Is. This is a song from American singer-songwriter and pianist Bruce Hornsby and it has followed me through the last decades in many ways.

The song was released in 1986, it is an amazing tune with the best intro ever. I have used a reference to the song in all my presentations since the early 2000s.

I also has the intro as ring signal on my mobile phone).

I often do presentations about change and modernization. That is also why this beautiful song with its lyrics fits so well, beside the fact that it also in simple words decribes my own journey in life and what I believe in.

”That’s just the way it is
Some things’ll never change
That’s just the way it is
Ah, but don’t you believe them”

Bruce Hornsby

The lyric describes how the words ’The Way It Is’ is used as an excuse for doing things better, which is something I have been fighting against my entire professional career.

I love this song. Listen to the music and lyrics and you will understand why.
