music fridays | volume 2
This week for music friday we are gonna get emotional with Hey Rebekah by The Fold. Get the tissue box ready.
Well, hey Rebekah, it’s not only in your mind.
But it takes something unusual to make it happen.
The other night I had the strangest dream,
I woke up under the spotlight where you should be.
It’s so hard to shake the thought of it still,
Lasting impression on my windowsill.
It’s hard to explain but I’d like to my friend
When you live in a house but you sleep in a van
And you realize one day, seasons have changed
Since you’ve last seen home.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive
Well, hey Rebekah, it’s not only in your mind.
But it takes something unusual to make it happen.
When we make ourselves work overtime,
That’s when fate will find you dear
And remind you that it never is too late.
Story goes I lay in revery
I woke up under the spotlight where you should be.
It’s so hard to shake the thought of it still,
Lasting impression on my windowsill.
It’s hard to explain but I’d like to my friend.
When you live in a house but you sleep in a van.
And you realize one day the choices you’ve made
Have taken you where you don’t wanna go.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Know that you’re alive.
Breathe in, breathe out.
Know that you’re alive.
Well, hey Rebekah, it’s not only in your mind
But it takes something unusual to make it happen.
When we make ourselves work overtime,
That’s when fate will find you dear,
And your heart will be reminded that it’s not too late.
You know it never is too late.
As long as you are breathing, honey.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive.
Breathe in, breathe out,
Know that you’re alive.
Hey Rebekah, it’s not only in your mind…
Take a moment to wipe your eyes before you continue reading. Ok, now then. Why this song? For one I am kind of a sensitive guy (proud of it) and my music tastes reflect that but mainly because again there is a great message I take from this song.
Breath in, breath out, Know that your Alive. Understand that no matter how bad things are in your life that things will get better eventually as long as you still have breath in your lungs. Understanding this can give you a hope that otherwise would not be there. I have personally had experience in my life with suicidal people and what I try to press as much as I can is that things will get better. Pain doesn’t last forever if you do not allow it to.
So next time you are feeling down, depressed, vulnerable; just sit down and take a deep breath to remind yourself that it means life will go on and better days are ahead.
