*Wrote this quite a while ago and forgot to publish*
In times of hardships and frustrations, I’ve begun to really appreciate the wonders of music in helping me get through it.
I have spent many hours sitting in my room, analysing every single detail of every single speck of my life when things go wrong. I usually have the radio on and once in a while, lyrics from a song would catch my attention and give me some form of clarity.
One of my favourite is “Walking Away” by Craig David. I’ve always liked songs by Craig David. It’s quite an old song, I know, but the lyrics just caught my attention right away a few months ago when I heard it on the radio again after so long.
Part of the song goes like this:
Sometimes some people get me wrong
When its something I’ve said or done
Sometimes you feel there is no fun
Thats why you turn and run
But now I truly realise
Some people dont wanna compromise
Well I saw them with my own eyes spreading those lies
And well I don’t wanna live my life too many sleepless nights
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away from the troubles in my life
I’m walking away oh to find a better day
I’m walking away
I found the music video on Youtube so take a listen if you’re interested.
Anyway, other songs that I find inspirational (for the lack of other terms) include:
- If today was your last day – Nickleback (my currrent most favourite)
- Let it be – The Beatles
- The show – Lenka
- I don’t want to be – Gavin DeGraw
- More than anyone – Gavin DeGraw
- Chariot – Gavin DeGraw
- More to life – Stacie Orrico
- Dare you to move – Switchfoot
- The climb – Miley Cyrus (yes, Hannah Montana. Lame, I know) 😛
