We can't do a thing but wait.
So let's wait for one more.
The time, such clumsy time, in deciding if it's time.
I'm careful but not sure how it goes.
You can lose yourself in your courage.
The mindless comfort grows when I'm alone with my 'great' plans.
This is what she says gets her through it:
"If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?
If not now, when?"
When the time we have now ends.
When the big hand goes round again.
Can you still feel the butterflies?
Can you still hear the last goodnight?
Close my eyes and believe wherever you are, an angel for me.
- For Me This Is Heaven, Jimmy Eat World
Andrew McMahon's favourite song. ♥
I just love the line 'If I don't let myself be happy now, then when?' It's so simple yet so hard to do. So logical, but no one does it.
Songs express how I feel everyday. It's my form of catharsis. It's like expressing how I feel without saying a word. I never cease to be amazed by how so many different instruments played at the same time can make something so beautiful. I love trying to listen to just one instrument in a song and imagine how different the song would song if that sound wasn't there. Music is the perfect example of harmony. You can't take out any component and have the same thing. You can't speed up something and have the rest at a different pace. Everything just needs to work together.
A vocalist is just another instrument. The words sung are just more notes added to the composition. It's simply mind-blowing how lyrics and music compliment each other so perfectly.
Listen to the song above and you'll know exactly what I mean.
I love how music can make you happy, sad, nostalgic or want to cry. Every now and then you come across a melody or a lyric or a beat that seems to feel just like how you feel. I love these moments. It feels like the world is trying to tell me that it knows exactly what I'm going through and that it's going through the same thing.
