Odin

In Germanic mythology, Odin (from Old Norse Óðinn) is a widely revered god. In Norse mythology, from which stems most of our information about the god, Odin is associated with healing, death, royalty, the gallows, knowledge, battle, sorcery, poetry, frenzy, and the runic alphabet, and is the husband of the goddess Frigg. In wider Germanic mythology and paganism, Odin was known in Old English as Wōden, in Old Saxon as Wōdan, and in Old High German as Wuotan or Wōtan, all stemming from the reconstructed Proto-Germanic theonym *wōđanaz.

Odin is a prominently mentioned god throughout the recorded history of the Germanic peoples, from the Roman occupation of regions of Germania through the tribal expansions of the Migration Period and the Viking Age. Odin continued into the modern period to be acknowledged in rural folklore in all Germanic regions. References to Odin appear in place names throughout regions historically inhabited by the ancient Germanic peoples, and the day of the week Wednesday bears his name in many Germanic languages, including English.

    Way Down Here

    by: Kenny Chesney

    Put off the mail and I
    Left on a light and I
    Locked up the house and I
    Jumped on a flight and I'm
    Still by myself but I'm
    Thinking more clear of I',
    Gonna be down, Gonna be down way down here
    Where no one will ask cause nobody knows
    That you're not in my life anymore
    And no one can tell the salt water from my tears
    No the pull of the tide or the crash of the waves
    Ain't gonna wash your memory away
    But there's a beautiful view of the end of the world from the pier
    If I'm gonna be down, I'm gonna be down way down here
    Untied my lines and I
    Slid through the sound and I
    Mixed me a drink now I
    Sit on the bow and I'm
    Watching the sun just like you disappear
    If I'm gonna be down, I'm gonna be down way down here
    Where no one will ask cause nobody knows
    That you're not in my life anymore
    And no one can tell the salt water from my tears
    And the pull of the tide or the crash of the waves
    Ain't gonna wash your memory away
    But there's a beautiful view of the end of the world from the pier
    And if I'm gonna be down, I'm gonna be down way down here
    No the pull of the tide or the crash of the waves
    Ain't gonna wash your memory away
    But there's a beautiful view of the end of the world from the pier
    And if I'm gonna be down, I'm gonna be down
    If I'm gonna be down, I'd rather be down way down here
    Way down here
    If you want me back now
    I can be found
    Way down here
    If I'm gonna be down
    If I'm gonna be down
