Music & Lyrics

I almost forgot to blog. Then I remembered, and I realized I didn't have much to say. Sometimes I just don't have anything to say. I don't want to cop out again by posting funny things so I guess something else I could do would be to just ramble.

Rambling is my forte. I'm pretty good at it. I can go on and on for a while. Mainly about nothing, but sometimes about something really serious and important. Let's see here... I've got nothing. Lyrics! I've been really into song lyrics lately and there are two songs I really like. The first is, Against the Current by Mree.

So they say
”There are other fishes in the sea”,
But the only one that´s missing
Is the one that swims for me.
And so you say,
"Oh dear just wait patiently,
Love will come along, eventually"

So I tried to swim against the current
To live my life and let me be
So don´t cast me a line
´cause I´ve run out of time
To live a lie

I can´t deny
You´ve hooked me so deep again
With your smart and witty lines
You have soiled my disguise
And then the waves
Oh the waves they come crashing down
When I see the look in your eyes
When you´re watching her walk by

"If you´re looking to fit in then join the rest
´Cause you know you´ll only end up second best",
They said

If you want to swim along the current
Then act and speak the way we do
You may be untrue
But if you´d rather be us
Then why be you?

What a beautiful lie, to live (x3)

So I´ve learned to swim against the current
To live my life and now I´m free
Because honestly,
There´s no one else I´d rather be
So watch me leave 

The second is Banner (the acoustic version) by LIGHTS.

Maybe it's bricks and mortar now, whether or not they run it down
I don't want anything to shake that shape away
No one told us which way to come, nobody mapped oblivion
So I go growing roses in the disarray

Just like most, falling head in
'Til my ghost fills the bed in

So lift it up like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner

I don't need fate to give it time, it doesn't take pain to change your
Mind
No weapon can sever the soul from me

Not the sorceress, not the money
All my cleverness, all my cunning

So lift It up like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner

It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner

It's around me in my surroundings
It counts me when it starts the counting
In the chaos there is a standard
I'm carrying it like a banner

So lift it up like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me
Like a banner

Like a banner
Hold it up over me
If this war is never ending
I'll take this love down with me

Both are super good songs. I could sing them all day. Do you ever feel super emotionally attached to a song? I feel that way about Sam Smith's song; I'm Not The Only One. I've never even been cheated on, that I know of, but it just gets my heart. These two songs have been getting into my heart. The second one is still really new, but I know the first one by heart. I think it's true to life sometimes. People want you to be something you aren't, and you just want to be yourself. It takes a while to figure out that we are all better off when we are ourselves. I love music! What kind of music do you listen to? What songs make your heart happy, heavy, or full of love? Tell me!
