Life Through Lyrics

I've come to realise something recently: I live my life through lyrics. This probably isn't much different from anybody my age, but I like to think that I really do.

So, what I thought I'd do is just, well, post a bunch of lyrics that I feel sum up my life, who I am, things I want to accomplish etc. These are in no particular order (OK, that was bordering on game show host results style, apologies...), here are a random collection of little quotes, phrases, lyrics etc that I love.

"So dear, dear Katie,
what have you done lately? I've heard it's all going on..." Dear Katie - James Blunt

"And isn't faith believing, all power can't be seen?" To Where You Are - Josh Groban

"If you hear nothing, learn from nothing, then you teach nothing when it's your turn." Understand It - Tim Minchin/Rosencrantz

"Let it fall, let it fall, let it fall, please don't stop the rain." Please Don't Stop the Rain - James Morrison

"
Even when the rain falls, even when the flood starts rising, even when the storm comes - I am washed by the water." Washed By the Water - Needtobreathe

"And I still hold your hand, in mine, in mine when I'm sleep." Goodbye My Lover - James Blunt

"Don't give up, it's just the weight of the world." You Are Loved (Don't Give Up) - Josh Groban

"
For somebody's sake now, please close your eyes woman. Please get some sleep...Well too much silence can be misleading. You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're breathing." No Other Way - Jack Johnson

"
You take my over analyse away. It's you and me against the world today." Brave Face - Delta Goodrem

That's it for now. I've run out of ideas and it's almost time for me to sleep (something I've been looking forward to since waking up this morning...) I may make this a weekly thing, sorta talking about the lyrics that inspired my week or something similar. Feel free to comment and speculate on why the lyrics may mean something to me, I'm interested to hear what you think :) Feel free also to comment leaving lyrics you've been inspired by. Again, I'd love to hear some :)

  1. Pretty interesting. I use music and lyrics to remember some good or bad moment of my life and something really bizarre/strange is when I take the undergroung, I only can listen Róisín Murphy´s Overpowered album.
