Dance in a Hurricane

"You can dance in a hurricane... But only if you're standing in the eye." This ain't no sham. I am what I am: Mom, wife, coach, CrossFitter, LOVER OF MUSIC (and football, but that's another blog entirely). :) I can't seem to keep the things I love to myself so I find ways to share... This blog is where I share my love of music and the artists that create it. Mostly Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile... Indigo Girls, Mumford & Sons, and whatever else suits my fancy at the time.

James Bay - Scars (Acoustic)

The lyrics of this song sum up perfectly how I felt when I kissed my boyfriend goodbye and watched him leaving for Germany.

We’re both working as au-pairs miles apart, and even if I really believe we can do this, sometimes I’d give up everything just to see him again; so I listen to this song!

You’re setting off, It’s time to go, the engine’s running My mind is lost, We always knew this day was coming And now it’s more frightening than it’s ever gonna be.

[…]

But you’re miles away, You’re breaking up, you’re on your own It’s hard to take, I need an hour just to say hello And I can’t make the truth of this work out for you or me And for all the pennies in your pocket We barely get a second just to speak We live through scars this time But I’ve made up my mind We can’t leave us behind anymore We’ll have to hurt for now But next time there’s no doubt ‘Cause I can’t go without you anymore.
