Beautiful People - Chris Brown

Sometimes there are songs that just say what they have to say.

They say it simply.

And they say it beautifully.

This is one of those songs

This song is a much needed reminder about the beauty to be found INSIDE us

and the beauty to be found in the people all around us.

" Everywhere, Everywhere i go

Everywhere that i've been , the only thing i see

Is Beautiful people, Beautiful people "

We are ALL special and unique and therein lies the simple straightforward message of this song.

A simple reminder that

" The Beauty is inside you "

And that regardless of what anyone tells you

" Don't let them bring you down"

at some point we are all guilty of two things in our lives

1. We forget our own beauty and our own self worth

and

2. We forget to see the beauty that lives inside those around us.

We are all different .. that goes without saying .. different ages, races , body types ...blah blah ... but it is those differences that make us a WHOLE unit

If we were all the same .. what kind of world would that be?.. It would be as if the whole world were painted in the color yellow ... Our differences create a rainbow... something that is beautiful because of all the different colors it has.

so yes.. this is a fairly simple song .. but there is nothing simple about the message that it sends.

Isn't that just BEAUTIFUL ?? ;)

Sleepwalker - Adam Lambert

A Sleepwalker can be defined as someone who arises from sleep in a state of low consciousness and performs activities that are usually performed in a state of full consciousness.

Have you ever been in love with someone so strongly that it takes over your whole body, your whole sense of self? When it ended you felt like you were a walking zombie, just going through the motions...

" Outside the rain's falling down

There's not a drop that hits me "

You feel like you have no life, no love left inside your entire body and you're just empty...

" Scream at the sky but no sound

is leaving my lips "

You go through everyday feeling like you

" can't even feel

After the way you touched me "

You are in a constant state of limbo you're

" Not asleep but I'm not awake

After the way you loved me "

You feel like you

" Can't turn this around

I keep running into walls that i can't break down "

The thing is that while all good things must come to an end, so do the bad. Eventually you regain consciousness and awake from the "dream" or nightmare that you pass through. But scars remain and memories...

And you will always remember what it was like

To Love

To Lose

To Walk around with you're "eyes wide shut"...

You Always remember what it's like ...

to be

A

"Sleepwalker"

Monster - Paramore

There are some friendships, some relationships that just aren't good for us.

You can take them, twist them and dress them up but it doesn't change what they are.

They say a rose by any other name would still smell as sweet so it goes without saying that poop by any other name would still smell as bad ..

Sometimes in our relationships we let others take advantage of us, sometimes we place too much emphasis on the other person and it morphs from being mutually beneficial to totally one sided.

" You were my conscience

So solid, now you're like water "

If we're lucky though we can find our footing once again and learn how to fight for ourselves and regain belief in our self worth

" But i'll get a new one

Come back for the hope that you've stolen "

Sometimes our situations can seem overwhelming and unreal much like our own personal "monster". One that takes on a life of its own and begins to affect everything around us in our own "world".

" I'll stop the whole world

From turning into a monster, and eating us alive "

And even though people around us may doubt us and "wonder how we'd survive" when its all said and done " now that you're gone the world is ours"

Every Teardrop is a Waterfall - Coldplay

Just the name of this song makes you think ... :)

And when you hear it ... when you REALLY listen to it ... it makes you think even more ..

" I shut the world outside till the lights come on.....

I feel my heart start beating to my favorite song.."

We're all human .. well most of us anyways :p ...

We all laugh, we all cry .. and if you haven't felt the need to lock yourself away from the world at least once ... then trust me you will one day.

The thing is though that even when you do hide away from the world, you can't hide from yourself ...

Your pulse .. your every breath .. your every heartbeat .. and it is from within us that we find the strength to turn the lights on in ourselves. We are our greatest enemy at times but we also have the potential to be our own greatest hero. This song resonates a rising self awareness and by extension an awareness of everything around us. You can't escape it.

" I turn the music up, I got my records on

From underneath the rubble, sing a rebel song"

There is something to be said about pain and struggle .. i'm sure you've heard it said before that you don't know how strong you are until you have been tested. You see, everything bad that can and will happen to you WILL bring something good into your life. You may not see it now.. you may not see it in 3 days, 3 month or even 3 years .. but trust me that good is present in your life.

" Every teardrop is a waterfall "

" Every siren is a symphony "

Its the morphing of something sad, something painful into something beautiful that can bring HOPE. ...

Taking adversity and letting it be the fire that forges the toughest steel

" So you can hurt me, hurt me bad.

But still I'll raise the flag "

In the end of it all... we fight. We Rise. We triumph.

HOPE, that at the end of every struggle we can emerge stronger.

We choose to be who we are.

We choose to fight and keep our heads up high and never give up

After all .... wouldn't YOU

" rather be a comma than a full stop" ???
