Welcome, you are listening to Every Song. A series where I play songs I’ve written throughout the year and share the stories behind them.
Here is a song I wrote on the 8th of October 2010. It’s about thinking a significant other in one’s life is some kind of blessing from the heavens. This song also takes from the common experience of meeting someone you feel like you’ve known in a life before. It is called Be a Blessing.
101008 Be a Blessing
Let us meet each other again and againJust to see if the experience would be the sameI’m so sure that I knew you in the past lifeBut even so every time you kiss my handIt feels like the first time
Now that I’ve seen such wonder I’m never letting goWhen everything falls apart, I’m holding onto you the mostIt’s as easy as breathing, everything with you comes naturallyWhat if you were my man and I was your lady?
Knowing somebody has never been so effortlessHow could it get any better than this?And if we should ever find ourselves falling in loveAt least we’d know that it’d be a blessing from above
We both believe there’s a higher power at workHe set two fools to find each other on this earthThey’d walk alone for years and get lost along the driveBut when they finally collide, all things flawed shall subside
Ooh, we’re movingWe’re moving alongI’ve found where I belongWe’ve made a right out of two wrongsNever before has it hit me this strong
This next song is titled Homeless, written on the 12th of January 2012. Ever heard of that saying, “Living with your parents is free but it will cost you your mental health”? Yeah, this song is basically on that vibe.
Trigger warning: there are suicidal themes in this song.
120112 Homeless
Send me an angel godOr you can take my lifeCause I don’t deserve every breathYou’ve breathed into my lungsThey’ve taught me not to fightAnd to give up the nightThey’ve scared me out of my home
I just don’t see the light any moreI’ve knocked on every single locked black door
But my heart’s still homeless after allHere I am still broken after the fallOh my my my, here it goes againSay hello to all my fair-weathered friendsBut my heart’s still homeless in the end
You show me libertyIn the form of threeLove and friendshipAnd truth over a cup of teaBut there’s the two where I resideWho’s clipped my wings so I don’t flyTo where I’m destined to die
Oh my LordTake me homeAll I want is to be with youOh my LordMy reasons are goneIs there more to life or am I done?
Thank you for listening to episode 12 of Every Song. Until next time.
