Have you ever felt like your life is a music video? Well this blog is dedicated to songs that either express a feeling that I am experiencing that day or that I feel applies to my life in one way or another. The song/lyrics will be posted as well as a reason why that song spoke to me that particular day. Almost as a song dairy.

I hope that you enjoy the songs and feel free to make suggestions or comment on the songs.

"The Cave"- Mumford & Sons

It's empty in the valley of your heart
The sun, it rises slowly as you walk
Away from all the fears
And all the faults you've left behind

The harvest left no food for you to eat
You cannibal, you meat-eater, you see
But I have seen the same
I know the shame in your defeat

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Cause I have other things to fill my time
You take what is yours and I'll take mine
Now let me at the truth
Which will refresh my broken mind

So tie me to a post and block my ears
I can see widows and orphans through my tears
I know my call despite my faults
And despite my growing fears

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand

So make your siren's call
And sing all you want
I will not hear what you have to say

Cause I need freedom now
And I need to know how
To live my life as it's meant to be

And I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

So I was watching the Grammy's today, which is a tradition that I always look forward to every year because I like the preformances and it's really the only way that I'm every going to see most of these artist preform. I literally just heard it and ran to my computer to post this. It just fit my life and what I'm trying to achieve right now. Wow, I just listened to it a second time. Like really this song came at the perfect time in my life. That is why I am so eager to post it.

Because of my disease it just seems like something that is always bringing me down and making my life hard. But right now I'm trying to change that and really look at it in a different light. Be more positive about things. I think my favorite part is when they say,

"So come out of your cave walking on your hands
And see the world hanging upside down
You can understand dependence
When you know the maker's hand"

That verse is just something that I'm really going to have to chew on and think about. But I feel as if I'm stuck in this cave and since my issues are in my legs and cause me to not be able to walk with out pain, this gives me courage to still get out there however I can and it doesn't matter, it'll let me see the world in a new light and even though I have to be dependent on people, it's ok. That I can still make my own decisions and that I'm not a burden.
