Woke up this morning, found a love light in the storm
Looked up this morning, saw the roses full of thorns
Guns are falling, they don't have nowhere to go
Oceans of diamonds always shine, smooth out below
Can we start it all over again, this morning?
I lost all my defenses, this morning
Won't you show me the way it used to be?
Beck: Morning Lyrics
Won't you show me the way it used to be?
I love the lyrics to Beck's album Morning Phase, particularly this song which has brought so much clarity this morning as I prepared for David to come home from his hospital stay. As a follower of Christ, when I gave my life to the creator, I consumed myself in Christian music. At that moment in my life I needed those uplifting words of hope and encouragement. Sometimes I'd switch the radio station back and forth and go back to a favorite christian song of mine. Those are the times I'm consumed in an overwhelming deep sadness or frustration with the world. Sometimes it will be Mumford and Sons and if I'm ready to wake up to this world, its Alabama Shakes.
Oh, how I startle the kids when I play "Don't Wanna Fight No More."
I haven't always been accepting of mainstream music. During my darkest times of my depression mainstream music helped me. It spoke to me. Songs like Morning helped me when I would wake up in the morning and just completely lose it. Others like, Mountain Goats, where he talks about stabbing someone in the eye with a foreign object, helped me get through my anger. No, seriously, I would never do that, but its a funny song. The whole album is about wrestling and thats what the song is about. When David and I saw them in concert, I cried. The lyrics helped me understand the artist, to know that he experiences pain and sadness like I do and that in the midst of everything, all we want is to feel love and happiness. The Mountain Goats are truly amazing.
Later that week, we all enjoyed The Legend of Zelda Symphony. As a mom, I love doing things that my children love to do, even though I don't play the games. Boy did I learn alot!!! There were scenes from the games where I cried. Games inspire the beauty of love and I saw that with Link and Zelda. I also saw it with the way Link was battling the forces of evil. Truly inspiring. Made me want to go out and play all the Legend of Zelda games. HA!!! We will see if that ever happens.
David is a bit sad that we are missing MeWithoutYou. We had tickets to see the show tonight, but are unable to go. Of course, I told David he could wear an adult diaper and I could wheel him around in the wheelchair, but we forgot we have kids, a pet chicken and a dog. So, we will wallow in our sadness and hope to make it to next years concert.
I will share with you some music, Don't get alarmed or startled over the Foreign Object song. It's just a song and its catchy. But, please don't ever stab someone in the eye with a foreign object.
It's not nice. You don't want to get arrested and you don't want that person suffering from blindness or worse the Emergency room visit they will endure. Believe me, I was there Sunday and after they gave me Morphine, Benadryl and Zofran, I get a $5,000.00 bill. Geez, they don't even wait till you get out of the room. And your pretty much drugged up so you don't know what's going on. At least they wheeled me up to ICU to be with David: that was nice of them.
Oh, I better check, they probably charged me for that.
