Day 153-A Break From the Norm

There are a few songs that I really relate to, and that's what I look for in music. If I relate to the artist in some aspect, I'm gonna love it. So here are a few of my favorite songs right now. Songs that speak to me and ignite something that makes me think or want to live better. I'll post lyrics to show what about the song I like.



It was a beautiful letdown

When I crashed and burned

When I found myself all alone, unknown, unheard


It was a beautiful letdown

The day I knew

All the riches this world had to offer me

Would never do

In a world full of bitter pain

and bitter doubts

I was trying so hard to fit in

Until I found out

That I don't belong here

----"Beautiful Letdown" -Switchfoot


I'm so tired of being alone, so hurry up and get here

----"Love Song For No One" - John Mayer

Take it easy

Take it easy


Don't let the sound of them old wheels drive you crazy


-----"Take it Easy"- The Eagles



Dare you to move

I dare you move

I dare you to lift yourself up off the floor

I dare you to move

I dare you to move

Like today never happened before


----"Dare You to Move"- Switchfoot



Don't think for one second

I will not question

US foreign policy, imperial aggression

Inventing war for the quenching of the thirst for the oil

'Cause money don't trickle down to workers who toil

---"Blink"- Blue Scholars



I want to wake up kicking and screaming

I want to live like I know what I'm leaving

I want to know that my heart's still beating

---"Awakening"-Switchfoot

After all I've seen, and all I've done

I know (hope, in my case) somewhere, there is someone

Who'll look my way, and say "I want that one"

---"My Kind of Woman"-George Strait



It basically comes down to me really liking Switchfoot. So that's all of them I can think of for now, but I'll add more as I go. There's a million more, but I've either already referenced them or can't remember them right now.

I hear in some of your favorite lyrics a longing for "another". It'll happen. It will. And at that point, you will be glad for the fact that it didn't happen sooner. But I can tell you it is a good thing to look forward to.
