"but all I heard was nothing..."

I blame TK Fowler for getting me addicted to The Script. But, the band has a lot of deep rooted meaning in their lyrics. My favorite song has to be "Nothing", a tale of a man looking for redemption from a lover and who drunkenly dialed her and got a cold rejection:

"And I know that I'm drunk but I’ll say the word

And she'll listen this time even though they’re slurred

Dialed her number and confessed to her

I'm still in love but all I heard

Was nothing"

I feel like I've been there, and so have a lot of guys. You get hurt, and think that by showing your emotions, the woman who let you go will take you back. Guys, it's partially true. I feel like women these days are trying more to get their man to show emotion, but to a point. The song I feel likes to point out how people need to avoid trying to push too hard to fix things and especially in a drunken stupor!

Another one I recommend would be the song "If You Ever Come Back", a great song about how a guy who desperately wants his love to come back home. I feel like it's kinda desperate, but it's a great song about how much this guy really loves her and wants to make things back to the way they were. I feel like maybe we've grown too accustomed to keeping things at status quo, trying to make sure nobody's feelings are hurt, and ignoring our feelings at the same time.

So, do I think The Script is a bad band? HECK NO!! But, as much as I love their music, I feel like it's based a lot on the lead singer's/band's (can't decide which one) issues dealing with broken hearts and being deserted by people. And sadly, I can relate...but, to quote one of my favorite songs ever..."maybe it's not my weekend, but it's gonna be my year!"

"Trouble...trouble, trouble, trouble"

Ah Ray, you seem to know the words to say that make things better, yet worse for me. I love the song by Ray Lamontagne called "Trouble" for it's infectious sound. More or less, it also echoes the emotion of how a relationship with a trusting woman can save a man from the quandaries of his life. The line "she won't let me go" can run a gamut of meanings in my mind. Is the singer talking about the woman not letting him go, ruining his life? Or, how the woman won't let him run back to the old ways of his life? I cannot wait to be "saved by a woman" like Ray sings about.

But, I think it's necessary to do what is sung about in a different song, by another group...the song by the band Superchick called "Stand in the Rain" is something that I need to live my life by:

"Stand in the rain, stand your ground, stand up when it's all crashing down, you stand through the pain, you won't drown, and one day what's lost can be found...you stand in the rain"

I need to learn how to take what I'm given in life and keep pushing. "It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving!" (God I love Rocky movies!!!) Only by keeping moving and not standing still, and silent, can I really see what I need to do with my life. I hope I can see things clearer soon and start making some room for change in my life

Thank you for all who are brothers and sisters to me that I have not had. I realize that life is too short to not thank those who stand by your side. To those who are for me, and stand by my side, keep your post....keep standing, keep guarding...because, though you are watching and protecting me, I am doing the same for you. United we are stronger than we are apart...for no man alone is an island
