Music Monday!
Music can be a great source of comfort and inspiration when you’re feeling down.
Today’s song is: “the Call” by Regina Spektor
Listen to the song here (OR just watch Prince Caspian):
Oh… you prefer LIVE. Well, here ya go then:
Lyrics:
“It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word
And then that word grew louder and louder
‘Til it was a battle cry
I’ll come back when you call me
No need to say goodbye
Just because everything’s changing
Doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before
All you can do is try to know who your friends are
As you head off to the war
Pick a star on the dark horizon and follow the light
You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye
You’ll come back when it’s over
No need to say goodbye
Now we’re back to the beginning
It’s just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can’t feel it too
Doesn’t mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
‘Til they’re before your eyes
You’ll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye
You’ll come back when they call you
No need to say goodbye”
Why this song’s so cool: It’s soooooo pwetty!
Why this song’s helpful: It’s chock-a-block FULL of inspirey messages and allusions.
Those who leave you never really leave you.
“Just because everything’s changing doesn’t mean it’s never been this way before.” YOU CAN DO IT! You will get through this. This too shall pass.
The war is your challenges and obstacles. And you’ll come back to yourself and who you truly are once you’ve weathered the storm.
Follow the light.
A reminder that what is important to you may not be important to everyone but that’s okay.
