I am a Music Junkie. Nothing new there with that being said, I just LOVE music. I love finding new artists or ones that may not be too mainstream. I love reading lyrics and figuring out the story of the song, it just makes it more relatable.
Music is by far my one tool of curing bad moods or sad times or dealing with stress. It never fails, ask Evan. I always have music playing in the house. Avery is even starting to show favorites to some bands and songs and we have dance time every morning to get our day started.
Music is essential to my life.
So today I was scooping out music and checking out songs I have heard but have no idea who sings them and found this song and had to share it. It made me think about my dad and all the life lessons he taught my brother and I in his unique way of passing them out. It's also on the Charlie St.Cloud Trailer which until that song played I had no interest in the movie....
"Run"
By: Snow Patrol
I'll sing it one last time for you
Then we really have to go
You've been the only thing that's right
In all I've done
And I can barely look at you
But every single time I do
I know we'll make it anywhere
Away from here
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
To think I might not see those eyes
Makes it so hard not to cry
And as we say our long goodbye
I nearly do
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
Louder louder
And we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
Why you can't raise your voice to say
Slower Slower
We don't have time for that
All i want is to find an easier way
To get out of our little heads
Have heart my dear
We're bound to be afraid
Even if it's just for a few days
Making up for all this mess
Light up, light up
As if you have a choice
Even if you cannot hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
And lastly, I want to leave you with my song of the summer it seems. This is my "You can do it!" song. Good motivation. :)
"Walk on the water"
By: Britt Nicole
You look around and staring back at you
Another wave of doubt
Will it pull you under
You wonder
What if i'm overtaken
What if i never make it
What if no one's there
Will you hear my prayer?
When you take that first step
Into the unknown
You know that he won't let you go
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too
So get out and let your fear fall to the ground
No time to waste, don't wait
And don't you turn around, and miss out on
Everything you were made for
Gotta be, I know you're not sure, more
So you play it safe, you try to run away
If you take that first step
Into the unknown
He won't let you go
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water too
Step out, even when it's storming
Step out, even when you're broken
Step out, even when your heart is telling you,
telling you to give up
Step out, when your hope is stolen
Step out, you can't see where you're going
You don't have to be afraid
So what are waiting, what are you waiting for
So what are you waiting for
What do you have to lose
Your insecurities
They try to hold to you
But you know you're made for more
So don't be afraid to move
Your faith is all it takes
And you can walk on the water,
walk on the water too

This wanting more from me is tearing me, it’s breaking me
ReplyDeleteBut what you want’s not mine to give
I’m your dollar sign, your brand new house,
Your product line
When you’re done with me I’m spent.
When the smoke is gone I have to face what I’ve become...
Chorus:
Will you rescue me? Could you get me out alive?
I’m trying to hold on but I’ve lost the will to fight
Will You rescue me? Take me far away from this shattered life.
How can I go on pretending that there’s nothing wrong?
Life has brought me to my knees
This mask I hide behind is killing me,
There’s nothing left
Is there anyone who feels like me?
When the smoke is gone I have to face what I’ve become...

If I could forget everything about you,
If I had a choice would I let you go?
I could pretend you had never existed,
Would it help me though?
What do I do with the constant reminders?
What do I do with the broken heart?
Where do I turn now that you can't help me?
How do I keep from falling apart?
You meant the world to me
You were my everything
And I don't know how to go on
How am I supposed to live?
I don't want to forget
But I've been crying here for too long
God give me the strength to move on
Everything that I see reminds me of you
Every piece of my life seems to shout your name
How can I stand when my heart's so heavy
And all I feel is pain?
You meant the world to me
You were my everything
And I don't know how to go on
How am I supposed to live?
I don't want to forget
But I've been crying here for too long
God give me the strength to move on
God says he has a plan for me
And all I have to do is believe
It's hard to trust when I can't see
But even when I let go of him he's still holding on to me
You meant the world to me
You were my everything
And I don't know how to go on
How am I supposed to live?
I don't want to forget
But I've been crying here for too long
You meant the world to me
You were my everything
And I don't know how to go on
How am I supposed to live?
I don't want to forget
But I've been crying here for too long
God give me the strength to move on
