music

the soul of our lives.

music has incredible power over us.  i am always listening to music.  at work, in the car, running errands, cleaning.

my genre "mood" changes often:  swedish doom metal (Katatonia) to metal, hard rock, classic rock, soft rock, old school rap, old school R&B, newer rap (Eminem and NF are favs), to easy listening and spa type music.

right now on my Pandora, i've been listening to Soft Rock radio for about a week.  hearing a lot of songs from my late teens, early 20s (80s..).

i had "thumbs downed" this particular song in my other genres because it was the song i had given to skeet last year when we reconnected.  i felt it fit our situation to a T.  we listened to it and talked about it multiple times.  it literally gaves me goosebumps, made me catch my breath, and invokes such sadness.

i realized that i had not thought about him in a few days, until i was gut punched.

it came on my queue.  *sigh*

Love Remains the Same

A thousand times I've seen you standing
Gravity like lunar landing
You make me wanna run till I find you

I shut the world away from here
Drift to you, you're all I hear
As everything we know fades to black

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

Find a place where we escape
Take you with me for a space
The city bus sounds just like a fridge

I walk the streets through seven bars
I have to find just where you are
The faces seem to blur
They're all the same

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made
Everything will change
But, love remains the same

So much more to say
So much to be done
Don't you trick me now
We shall overcome

So all that's left is praying

But we, should have had the sun
We could have been inside
Instead we're over here

Half the time the world is ending
Truth is I am done pretending

Too much time too long defending
You and I are done pretending

I, never thought that I
Had anymore to give
You're pushing me so far
Here I am without you
Drink, to all that we have lost
Mistakes we have made

Everything will change
Everything will change

I, oh I,
I wish this could last forever
I, oh I,
as if we could last forever

Love remains the same
Love remains the same
