Music plays such a big part of my life. It helps describe how I'm feeling and gives and outlet for thoughts that can otherwise not be expressed. I often find I have "theme songs" during different times in my life. Sometimes it's a situation I'm in and other times it is a repetitive feeling that I have.
I deal with chronic and major depression so a lot of my feelings are dark. This means that a good deal of the music I listen to deals with depression and the struggle I face. I've been very depressed today and so these lyrics really express how I've been feeling:
"Keep Breathing" by Ingrid Michaelson
The storm is coming but I don't mind
People are dying, I close my blinds
All that I know is I'm breathing now
I want to change the world
Instead I sleep
I want to believe in more than you and me
But all that I know is I'm breathing
All I can do is keep breathing
All we can do is keep breathing now
I too feel that music is a powerful influence in my life. It can make us feel sad but it can also be a powerful mood lifter. I do like the lyrics you posted, some days all we can do is to "keep breathing". I'm sorry your day yesterday was a down one. Depression is a difficult thing to deal with - I know personally just how hard it can be. Cyber *HUGGS* until I can wrap my arms around you in a personal hugg!
ReplyDeleteI'll giver her some squeezes for you, Ladyquilt!
ReplyDeleteI have theme songs too from time to time. I find it is amazing how much songs can affect our emotions.
Sometimes all we can do is keep breathing, but that's okay. Tomorrow will be a better day, if only because you are in it! Love you!
