1 song triggers 1000 memories

 

 

 

Hi there, I hope you are all well:) I was speaking to a friend earlier and they know me quite well and sent me a link to this song, saying the first few lines reminded them of me. I thought it was going to be some joke or something but I listened to the lyrics and began to cry. Yes I cry a lot but this really really hit me with feeling. The words I've been feeling for months but never been able to say. 

 

 

Retrograde     -James Blake

 

You're on your own
In a world you've grown
Few more years to go,
Don't let the hurdle fall
So be the girl you loved,
Be the girl you loved

I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else,
We're alone now
I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else,
We're alone now

Suddenly, I'm hit
Is this darkness of the dawn?
And your friends are gone
And your friends won't come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit

I'll wait
So show me why you're strong
Ignore everybody else,
We're alone now (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
I'll wait (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
I'll wait (We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)
(We're alone now)

Suddenly, I'm hit
Is this darkness of the dawn?
And your friends are gone
And your friends won't come
So show me where you fit
So show me where you fit 

I really really hope that if any of you out there ever feel totally alone, even if there are physically loads of people around you or you feel almost surrounded by darkness, that you can show YOURSELF why YOU are strong. Ignore all the anger. The stress, the worry. Ignore all the people and look inside yourself.
