The world seemed a restless place

Sad song of the day:

"Song For Ten" by Murray Gold

"Well I woke up today
And the world seemed a restless place
It could have been that way for me
And I wondered around
And I thought of your face
That Christmas looking back at me

I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed

And I started to walk
Pretty soon I will run
And I'll be running back to you
'Cause I followed my star
And that's what you are
I've had a merry time with you

I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed

So have a good life
Do it for me
Make me so proud like you want me to be
Wherever you are
I'm thinking of you oceans apart
I want you to know

Well I woke up today
And you're on the other side
Our time will never come again
But if you can still dream
Close your eyes, it will seem
That you can see me now and then

I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed

I wish today was just like every other day
'Cause today has been the best day
Everything I ever dreamed"




Happy song of the day:

"Hope For The Hopeless" by A Fine Frenzy

"Stitch in your knitted brow
And you don't know how
You're gonna get it out
Crushed under heavy chest
Trying to catch your breath
But it always beats you by a step
Alright now

Making the best of it
Playing the hand you get
Well you're not alone in this

There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope

Cold in a summer breeze
Yeah, you're shivering
On your bended knee
Still, when your heart is sore
And the heavens pour
Like a willow bending in the storm
You'll make it

Running against the wind
Playing the cards you get
Something is bound to give

There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope for the hopeless
There's hope
There's hope
There's hope

There's hope"



Usually I choose songs that pertain to what I am feeling, or what I am going through... but these two songs have very little to do with what I am feeling or what I am going through(actually, I guess I've been a little out of that practice for the past few...). And if you've heard these songs or if you read the lyrics and think that I must have listed them under the wrong sections, I didn't. The true meaning of the first is the parting of two people and the desire to remember the happy times, and it is genuinely a sad song. The second is about hope and though things go wrong and bad things happen, there is hope for everyone and everything.

Today was an odd day. Odd in many, many ways. I suppose I don't have any other words for it than that, just odd. My mother comes back home tomorrow and I have been Miracle Max all day. Constantly making things happen miraculously. Such as: cleaning the entire kitchen in under 30 minutes, driving people around town, getting home early, wrapping mattresses (don't ask, it's silly), keeping the boys in line (no easy task), and several other countless little tasks... all in record time. My mother says it's because I have functioning legs... but that's only because it's hard for her to move around.

I made a lot of decisions today; some that still have uncertain outcomes and others with outcomes that I can thoroughly predict. Sometimes I forget. I forget just why I feel the way I do, which is actually a silly thing to say and almost a complete lie. But there it stands... see, I hear people say all the time that you can't have two things at the same time, you can't have both black and white... but I don't believe that, I am living proof that you absolutely can.

So, that's the real reason for both of these songs. Two songs pertaining to life and it's hardships and one is sad and the other is happy. Black and white; at the same time. It's been one of those sort of days, where you have the good along with the bad, the joy along with the sorrow, the motivation along with the apathy... both existing in the same place, at the same time. So, that's it. That's all I have to say.
