Ya know what song(/artist) is really underrated??? Savage Garden - Crash and Burn

🎶When you feel all alone

And the world has turned it's back on you

Give me a moment please to tame your wild wild heart

I know you feel like the walls are closing in on you

It's hard to find relief and people can be so cold

When darkness is upon your door and

You feel like you can't take anymore

Let me be the one you call

If you jump I'll break your fall

Lift you up and fly away with you into the night

If you need to fall apart

I can mend a broken heart

If you need to crash then crash and burn

You're not alone🎶

It's a feel good, "you're not alone" song.

It's lyrics describe the difficult search for solace and meaningful relationships in a cold world. With a chorus which reassures that notion of; 'it's okay to not be okay'. It's okay "if you need to fall apart" in order to become whole again. It's about staying strong. And the urge for everyone to stay connected. Don't lose all your faith thinking there's no one to support you. There is.

It's heart warming and such a comfort song.

Also, can I just note it's film clip is spectacular. It's freaky and out there with a fantasy theme to it. It is also the ONLY FILM CLIP I can honestly say that I KNOW includes sign language. It conveys it's message of inclusivity and strength to hearing impaired. And they do that WHILE BEING INCLUSIVE!!! They show serveral different people of varing ages, races and genders, signing the same message over and over promoting equality and strength. It's incredible. Not to mention it's out there fantasy stuff of like...bird people? Is a metaphor for uniqueness and again saying it's okay to be different. It's a video that has stuck with me my whole life.

The band itself is just phenomenal. They're iconic 2000s and I 100% recommend listening to them. You'll already be familiar with...

I knew I loved you

To the Moon and Back

Animal Song

No doubt.

Honestly love them so much!

PS! I CAN'T RECOMMEND HIGH ENOUGH LISTENING TO AFFIRMATION!!! So here it is too:

MSR Playlist Aussie Style

I’ve been thinking about how Australian music has its own style and that some of the best lyrics lend themselves to MSR - both angsty and romantic. Here are five of my favourites. If you’ve never heard these songs or artists before, give them a listen. 

Navy blues, Washington

So what if I get bloodthirsty? Or a little raggedy? I've got convict ancestry You better get away from me Oh, Barcelona, burn you down! I will take this tiny town I've got a little irish lilt I've got a lot of catholic guilt

Rest up on me, Paris Wells

And all those people walking by they just wont see you when you cry so let your worries fly And i got issues of my own but i'm not here to bitch an moan i'm all ears baby You look defeated in your eyes with other people telling lies but there's truth in here let go of yourself and

Stay, you can hide inside my space Close the door an simply hit the lights For tonight

Don’t dream it over, Crowded  House

There is freedom within There is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There's a battle ahead Many battles are lost But you'll never see the end of the road While you're traveling with me

The special two, Missy Higgins

I've hardly been outside my room in days, 'Cause I don't feel that I deserve the sunshine's rays. The darkness helped until the whiskey wore away, And it was then I realized the conscience never fades.

The last day on earth, Kate Miller-Heidke

And you hold me closer than I can ever remember being held And I'm not afraid to sleep now, if we can stay like this until  It's the last day on earth  In my dreams (my dreams, my dreams) In my dreams (my dreams, my dreams) It's the end of the world  And you've come back to me
