A beautiful, beautiful song from Switchfoot. This song is written from God's point of view. And that's what makes the lyrics at the end so poignant to me.
If you could let the pain of the past go
Of your soul
None of this is in your control
If you could only let your guard down
If you could learn to trust me somehow
I swear, that I won't let you go
If you could only let go your doubts
If you could just believe in me now
I swear, that I won't let you go
There ain't no darkness strong enough that could tear you out from my heart
There ain't no strength that's strong enough that could tear this love apart
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go ♪ ♫ ♪
Love the title, love the song. This song is on the heavier side of rock, with lots of screaming at the start. However, this song for me, is all about the lyrics at the end. And I've listed them below. It's almost like having to go through hell, to get to the heavenly part of the song. This is one song you want to listen all the way to the end.
I reserve my right to feel uncomfortable, reserve my right to be afraid.
I make mistakes and I am humbled, every step of the way.
I want to be a better person. I wanna know the master plan.
Cast your stones, cast your judgement, you don't make me who I am.
God help those who help themselves, and forget about everyone else.
You lost your nerve, you missed the point.
God help those with open hands, may they never feel burden again.
Yeah I'll stand up for those who can't.
I'll close the distance. ♪ ♫ ♪
Is it fair to say, that this was one of the best songs to come out in the 90s? This is still a very good song.
I see forever when I look in your eyes
You're all I've ever wanted
I always want you to be mine
Let's make a promise to the end of time
We'll always be together
And our love will never die
So here we are face to face and heart to heart
I want you to know we will never be apart
Now I believe that wishes can come true
'Cause when I see my whole world
I see only you
When I look into your eyes
I can see how much I love you
And it makes me realize
When I look into your eyes
I see all my dreams come true
When I look into your eyes ♪ ♫ ♪
Pretty good new find! Has hints of Evanescence in this track.
How come we cannot erase all the pain
Why aren't we strong enough to overcome
Undone, it's driving me mad and insane
Is there some other place where we belong? ♪ ♫ ♪
A beautiful k-pop track from The Rose. The lyrics are mostly in Korean, but this bit from the bridge is in English.
She's in the rain
You wanna hurt yourself I'll stay with you
You wanna make yourself go through the pain
It's better to be held than holding on
No whoa ♪ ♫ ♪
The social commentary in this song is deep and was unexpected. The songwriter is reflecting on how, more often than not, we unconsciously just close our eyes to the marginalized people in our society. “Is this the best that we can do?”, he asks. Hopefully, we can do better than this.
And we sit in our high-rise apartments and complain about things that don't matter
And we race through this life just to see who can die with as much as we can gather
And a few blocks away a teenage mother plays Russian Roulette with her daughter
Is this the best that we can do, is this the best that we can do
Oh my God, this is insane
How'd it get like this, or has it always been this way
Oh my God, I'm so ashamed
When we close our eyes to make this go away
Another beautiful song from Go Radio with some wonderful lyrics.
I take a step into the rain
To make sure I can feel again
The way it hits my skin feels like a tear
And I would love to be the song you sing
To everyone for everything
Just tell me when this melody gets clear
...
So let's get carried away
Not lose ourselves in the fight
Let's show the world we were right
That we can make it through
And I may be leading the way
But you will always be my light
And I will always love you ♪ ♫ ♪
